The consequences of being convicted of a criminal traffic violation is far greater than just a civil traffic infraction. You generally do not have the choice of just paying a fine and moving on with your life. You will also have a criminal record/criminal history with a misdemeanor or felony conviction. You don’t just pay a fine without further consequences if convicted. These consequences can have a far-reaching impact on your personal and professional life. You may face increased insurance rates or denied coverage, jail time, and points on your driving record that may lead to a suspension as they accumulate.

Attorney Thurow will evaluate the circumstances of the traffic stop and attempt to get any unlawfully obtained evidence suppressed by filing a motion and having a hearing challenging the lawful basis of the officer’s traffic stop.
One way to get evidence suppressed is to challenge the lawful basis of the traffic stop. If the court rules that the traffic stop was unlawful, then the evidence and/or knowledge gathered after the unlawful stop will be suppressed or thrown out and in many instances, the case is dismissed. Don’t assume that the officer acted properly and there’s nothing that can be done. Having Thurow Law working on your side can go a long way in protecting your driving record and future.
