Re: At Fault Rear End

You should fight it. An attorney can at least get the ticket reduced from reckless, a criminal traffic offense, to careless driving, a civil infraction. Please contact my office for a free consultation to discuss matter further.

I would never advise a client to plead guilty to a traffic ticket - especially when you were told you will have your license suspended. You should immediately consult an attorney in your area who is familiar with traffic matters who can advise and represent you.

Most attorneys will try to attack the charges based on technical errors that the officer might have made. Altervatively, most courts will accept a plea to a lesser charge when represented by counsel in order to tie up a calendar with trials.

Reckless driving is actually a criminal traffic case, not just your "ordinary" traffic ticket. There are actually several things that can be done strategically to get you the best result. You should contact an attorney to help you with this.
