Traffic Crimes

Bamieh & Erickson - Ventura County Traffic Offense Attorneys

Traffic tickets might seem like little more than a nuisance, but when allowed to accumulate—or when incurred for especially serious violations—they can have a serious effect upon your ability to drive in California. While the most minor offenses are listed as infractions that carry no criminal consequences, the more serious traffic offenses are criminal misdemeanors. A third traffic misdemeanor in a single year can result in the suspension of your driver's license, and it's entirely possible to be charged with three misdemeanors in the same incident: running a red light with expired tags when driving without insurance, for example.

If you need representation with traffic offense problems, contact the Ventura County traffic violations lawyers at Bamieh & Erickson. With our prosecutorial experience, we know which factors the prosecutors consider in negotiating serious traffic charges down to lesser infractions. Our experience can save you from a suspension of your driver's license.

We can represent you at DMV hearings or in negotiations with the prosecutor on such violations as:

  • Excessive tickets
  • Reckless driving or careless driving
  • Driving while suspended or without a valid license
  • Driving without insurance
  • Driving on expired tabs
  • Appeals of failed smog emissions tests
  • Excessive speeding
  • Hit and run accidents
  • Alcohol-related offenses

We'll work with you and the actual police reports to develop a good idea of which violations are vulnerable to a defense on the facts and which should be pleaded. Our familiarity with the local courts and negotiating skills can then lead to some favorable results.
