Traffic Charges

Annapolis, Maryland, Traffic Violation Lawyer

A criminal traffic violation carries the possibility of significant point assessments on your driver's license, higher insurance rates, and even loss of your driver's license. If you have received a ticket for a criminal traffic violation, call me at 410-777-8723 for a free initial consultation before you pay the ticket.

I am J. Dennis Murphy, Jr., a criminal defense lawyer with more than 20 years of experience prosecuting and defending people charged with criminal traffic violations such as:

• Driving on a revoked license
• Driving while suspended
• Driving without valid insurance
• Hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident
• Driving under the influence (DUI)
• Criminal vehicular assault
• Criminal vehicular homicide

There are many ways for a lawyer to help you avoid or minimize charges in a criminal traffic offense. My first approach is to find out if the police officer's report is credible. I can also negotiate with the traffic court to plead you guilty to a less serious charge that would result in a smaller fine and fewer points being subtracted from your license.

Depending on the seriousness of the offense, I may also refer you to driver education or training programs so the court can see that you are taking the issue seriously and exercise leniency.
