Traffic Tickets
Michael Coffino represents people cited for traffic infractions like speeding or other moving violations who have been ordered to appear in traffic court. He can appear in court for you so you don’t miss work or family obligations. Often these cases can be resolved favorably with a dismissal or a reduction of the charges to avoid increased insurance rates or points on your driver’s license.
The California DMV can revoke or suspend your driving privilege if you receive 4 points within 12 months; 6 points with 24 months; or 8 points within 36 months. A minor's provisional license may be suspended for getting 3 points within 12 months; or restricted for 30 days for 2 points within 12 months; or suspended for 1 year for using any alcohol or drugs.
In some cases, if you attend a one-day traffic school (with online classes available) you may avoid getting points on your license that could result in a license suspension or higher insurance rates. Michael Coffino can set your case for a traffic trial and also negotiate with the arresting law enforcement agency in an effort to resolve the case for lesser charges.
