You have been cited or even arrested on Georgia reckless driving charges. While you can try to go it alone, you may want to consider getting help from an Alpharetta traffic violation attorney.
Even if you believe you are at least partially to blame for the charge, reckless driving can result in some pretty serious punishments and Georgia courts are likely to show little mercy if there was an accident or injuries involved.
No matter what the traffic violation, no two cases are the same—this is especially true with reckless driving. Georgia defines this offense as one in which a driver has “reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property.” Because this disregard could be attributed to anything from distracted driving to driving under the influence (DUI), the severity of punishment can vary greatly from case to case.
So, why hire an Alpharetta reckless driving attorney? Here are a few good reasons. At the Law Office of Scott Miller, we can:
- Determine the best type of plea to enter. It is more complicated than just guilty or not guilty. For example, you can also plead nolo contendere—guilty with an explanation. Having professional legal counsel on your side can make the difference between success and defeat.
- Thoroughly research your case and find inconsistencies. Many times, details are overlooked that could help you fight the charges. We know where to look and what to look for.
- Represent you effectively in court. If your case goes to court, you want someone by your side that knows the local court system and deals with the judges on a regular basis. Even if you are convicted, an attorney can urge the judge to be lenient in your sentence. That leniency could be the difference between freedom and jail time.
