Traffic-Related Offenses:
If you have been charged with a traffic offense that requires you to appear in municipal court, you may think that your best course of action is to simply plead guilty and pay your fine. However, the consequences of a plea or conviction can be serious and can affect you for years to come. In addition to the substantial fines that can be assessed, you could risk the loss of your driving privileges or even incarceration.
