Beware of businesses that say they can help you with a traffic ticket

BEWARE! There are people claiming to be lawyers in Las Vegas promising to fix traffic tickets. If you meet someone who makes this claim but are not sure whether they are really an attorney, you should contact the State Bar of Nevada and ask.

If you hire a fake lawyer, not only do you lose the money you gave them, but you could end up with a warrant for your arrest, larger fines, jail time, and points on your driving record because the false attorney did not do a thing for you through the courts. Do not fall victim. If someone is scamming you, get their information and call the Nevada Bar and the police immediately

Give the State Bar the name of the attorney and ask them if he or she is licensed in Nevada. Only then should you feel comfortable hiring the person. You may also call The Jacks Law Group, PLLC and we will check to see whether someone is really an attorney for you.

Remember, for misdemeanor crimes, you will not get a court appointed public defender.  If you want a criminal defense attorney to represent your interests, you will have to hire one in private practice. 

Traffic Ticket Scam of 702-Traffic -BEWARE-

On June 25, 2012, the Nevada State Bar wrote a public reprimand to warn the public about 702-Traffic, which apparently takes money from clients and then does nothing.  702-Traffic is not a law firm, and yet it makes people believe it can get results like a law firm could.

Attorney Charles Odgers also was reprimanded because he was lending his name to this illegal business but apparently was not overseeing it and not ensuring clients were getting any results.

It is surprising that 702-Traffic would get clients since they are not a law firm and they appear to want quite a bit of money up front from "clients."  The State Bar noted nine grievances filed against Odgers and 702-Traffic.

The Better Business Bureau has not accredited 702-Traffic and it also has received complaints.

Ripoffreports.com has information about 702-Traffic as well.

Complaintsboard.com has information about 702-Traffic as well.

There are so many real traffic ticket attorneys in town who charge less and actually do good work for their clients that the only explanation for 702-Traffic remaining in existence is that they advertise heavily and somehow convince customers that their illegal activity is legal and sound, when it apparently is not.  Only Nevada licensed attorneys can represent you in a Nevada court, even for minor things like traffic tickets.

Remember, for misdemeanor crimes, you will not get a court appointed public defender.  If you want a criminal defense attorney to represent your interests, you will have to hire one in private practice.

Traffic Ticket help -- Quick, Cheap, and Easy

You can get traffic citations in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Clark County, Boulder City, and Federal Jurisdiction, such as Lake Mead, Red Rock, and Mt. Charleston.

When a the police gives you a traffic citation  and you plead guilty to the traffic violation by simply paying it, not only do you pay your fine, and attend traffic school, but you have the following additional punishments to endure related to pleading guilty to a traffic citation.  

•          Multiple convictions for traffic violations probably will result in a driver’s license suspension or license revocation. In Nevada, if you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, you may 
be restricted from getting a new license for a full year.

•       Each conviction for a moving violation probably will raise your insurance rates. 

•          If you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you may lose your license and the ability to earn a living.  

•          If you were involved in an automobile accident, and the police issued you a traffic ticket, and you are subsequently sued civilly for the accident, the conviction may be used in the civil lawsuit to show that you were negligent per se.

•          If you take care of the traffic ticket by yourself, you will probably be forced to take at least one day off from work to go to court to resolve the traffic ticket. 

As a result of a simple speeding ticket, you will likely pay fines, court administrative fees, increased insurance costs, and attend traffic school. Furthermore, you could suffer possible suspension or revocation of you driver’s license. If your Nevada license is suspended, you will not be able to obtain a license in any other State until the Nevada suspension is completed. On top of this, you will need to miss a whole day’s pay from work just to go to court. You are not alone in not knowing this.  Few Las Vegans understand the traffic citation process and that a traffic violation is a crime which you will have to plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest to. 

So, how can you likely prevent the headaches associated with the above for some minor traffic infraction?  You hire a criminal defense attorney with experience negotiating citations quick, easy, and cheap.  David Jacks has negotiated many plea deals for misdemeanor traffic citations and will bring his knowledge to the court for your matter. You will do little more than pay his cheap legal fee, give him a copy of the traffic ticket, and then pay the fine to the court upon a negotiated deal.  David can work to get you time to pay your fine off too. When you say to yourself, I need a traffic ticket lawyer, call us.
