Maryland Traffic Violations
Traffic Violations are divided into 2 categories in Maryland. The first category is non-incarcerable offenses meaning they are not punishable by a jail sentence. Speeding violations are an example of a non-incarcerable offense. On the flip side is an incarcerable offense and these can result in jail time. A 2nd or 3rd DUI is an example of an incarcerable offense. According to Maryland law traffic violations can be either misdemeanors or felonies.

Legal Representation For All Types of Traffic Offenses
Under current Maryland traffic ticket laws you are required to appear in court if you are charged or accused of a serious traffic offense. This is true even in the event you are going to plead guilty. Failing to appear may result in a warrant for your arrest. Consequences regarding major traffic offenses may include being sentenced to jail, fines and restricted driving privileges. In addition your insurance carrier may use a traffic violation conviction as as justification for increasing your premiums or canceling your policy. Our Towson Maryland Traffic Ticket Attorneys have extensive experience handling all types of major traffic offenses in the Harford, Howard, Baltimore and Anne Arundel County areas.
Maryland, like other states, employs a point system when monitoring traffic violations, even minor offenses. If the offense is minor and could not result in jail time you can pay the assessed fine and not show up to court. It is also the same as admitting you are guilty of the offense. It is also important to bear in mind that ignoring a violation totally could result in a suspension of your license. If you are caught driving while your license is suspended that is punishable by jail, additional fines and points against your drivers license. With so much at stake if convicted of a serious traffic violation it stands to reason that you will want an experienced Towson traffic ticket attorney on your side.
