If you have been cited for a traffic violation in Michigan, whether it’s a minor speeding ticket or a serious reckless driving charge, you may be facing significant consequences that extend beyond just paying a fine. Your insurance premiums, driving record, and even your ability to retain your driver’s license can all be affected.
At our law firm, we specialize in defending drivers against Michigan moving violations, ensuring that they receive the best legal representation to contest their tickets. Our team works to minimize penalties, reduce points on your record, and even get charges dismissed whenever possible.
The Consequences of Speeding Tickets
Speeding tickets may seem minor, but their effects can last years. Many drivers don’t realize that traffic tickets can cause long-term financial and legal issues, including:
Increased insurance rates – One ticket could lead to a substantial spike in your premiums.
License points accumulation – Michigan’s point system can lead to license suspension if you accumulate too many.
No future leniency – Once a violation is on your record, police officers are less likely to give you a break during future traffic stops.
Employment risks – CDL holders and individuals who drive for work may face job consequences.
A single moving violation could be the difference between a clean record and years of costly repercussions. That’s why contesting every ticket is crucial, even for infractions labeled as “zero points.”
How We Help You Beat Speeding Tickets
Our firm has successfully fought a lot of traffic cases, securing reduced penalties or complete dismissals. When you hire us, we:

- By working with an experienced attorney, you stand a much greater chance of avoiding long-term consequences.
Understanding Reckless Driving in Michigan
Reckless driving (MCL 257.626) is considered a criminal offense in Michigan, making it far more severe than a simple traffic violation. The law defines reckless driving as operating a motor vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.
Unlike a basic speeding ticket, reckless driving is a misdemeanor offense. If convicted, the charge will stay on your criminal record permanently, making it non-expungeable.
How We Defend Against Reckless Driving Charges
Reckless driving charges are not open-and-shut cases—the burden of proof falls on the prosecution. They must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your actions showed a willful disregard for safety.
Our legal team knows how to challenge these accusations by:
Disputing evidence – We analyze police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to find inconsistencies.
Proving lack of intent – Many reckless driving charges stem from unintentional speeding or evasive maneuvers.
Reducing charges – We work to have reckless driving offenses lowered to civil infractions, eliminating a criminal record.
Avoiding license suspension – We fight to protect your driving privileges, helping you avoid devastating career setbacks.
Most reckless driving cases are winnable with the right legal defense. Don’t take unnecessary risks—call us now to start building your case.

Why You Should Never Ignore a Traffic Violation
Many drivers assume that paying the fine and moving on is the easiest solution. However, a single traffic ticket can:
- Remain on your record for years, leading to higher insurance costs.
- Make future tickets more costly, as courts are less likely to offer reduced penalties.
- Risk your license suspension if multiple violations occur within a short timeframe.
- Negatively impact employment opportunities, especially for CDL holders and those in driving-related professions.
By choosing to contest every moving violation, you take control of your driving record and avoid unnecessary financial and legal consequences.
