I got a ticket for failure to stop, but I thought I'd stop my car at the sign.
I receive calls about this frequently. A potential client believes that he or she had stopped at a stop sign. A law-enforcement officer has issued a failure to stop ticket. What's going on?
The way that the law is written about stopping for a stop sign is, that your vehicle's wheels must stop rolling completely, and your vehicle must stop all forward progression.
Anything less than this opens a possibility that a law-enforcement officer will pull you over. The officer may or may not give you a ticket. While the officer engages you in conversation, he will observe you closely for signs of intoxication, and he will look around in your vehicle for any sign of contraband material.
This seemingly minor traffic infraction could lead to your arrest for DUI driving less safe, or the possession of contraband.
Be careful when driving at all times. Always observe all traffic rules because they are there for your safety.

- Attorney Scott recently represented me and my mother both for traffic ticket charges. In both cases he got my mothers charge and my charge dismissed. He is a wonderful attorney and also a wonderful person. I can’t recommend him enough! Regina: Marietta, GA.
- I was moving along with the speed of traffic when I was pulled over. I was frightened, this was my first ticket ever. The police officer gave me a super speeder ticket. Attorney Miller got my speed reduced and my ticket dismissed. Hooray Attorney Miller, I will refer all my friends and family to you! Roeween: Buford GA.
- I was arrested for street racing in Alpharetta. Scott had helped me previously with a speeding ticket I called Attorney Miller when I was released from jail. Scott worked with the court and got my charge reduced. I had to pay a fine and go to traffic school. Simon
