Traffic Violations
Your first inclination when receiving a traffic ticket may be to just pay the fine. That could be a mistake.
In Wisconsin, you receive demerit points on your license when convicted of a moving violation. This includes a traffic violation as minor as speeding (even 1 to 10 miles over the speed limit) and as serious as operating under the influence (OWI), also known as drunk driving. If you accumulate 12 or more points on your license in one year, your license will be suspended (this is a required action).
This means, by paying your fine (admitting guilt) for a moving violation now, you risk losing your license if you get another ticket within 12 months. That isn't a gamble you want to take.
Schedule a free consultation with our Milwaukee-area criminal defense lawyer to understand your rights and to save yourself from future issues.
