Traffic Violations & Speeding Tickets

Fresno County Traffic Ticket Lawyer

A simple traffic ticket can have a sobering effect on your driving privileges and your ability to earn an income. If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), and you have been cited for exceeding the speed limit, even by a few miles, the risk of losing your truck driver's license can be great. The defense law firm of Marcus A. Torigian, Attorney at Law, provides vigorous traffic ticket defense to individuals residing or traveling through Fresno County and surrounding California areas.

With more than 15 years of legal experience, I have thorough knowledge of California traffic violation laws and how to challenge traffic citations in an efficient and effective manner. I am often able to address the matter for out-of-state clients without them ever coming to my office or the courthouse. I assist clients with fighting speeding tickets and other traffic tickets, such as:

• Speeding tickets
• Driving under suspension of a license
• Driving without a license
• Reckless driving
• Other traffic tickets

California Traffic Ticket Laws and Consequences for CDLs

When a traffic ticket is issued, specific amounts of points are assessed to the individual's driver's license. If these points accumulate, there is potential for the driver's license to be suspended for a year. A year without a license can create many burdens, especially for commercial driver traffic violations.

Most drivers are eligible to take a class in order to reduce the accumulated points on their license and prevent a license suspension. However, truck drivers are not able to take this class. Therefore a traffic ticket has much more serious implications. If a commercial driver's license is suspended for a year, the truck driver must determine how to earn income through other means for the entire year.

Speeding Tickets and Protecting Your Driving Privileges

My law office handles cases where drivers have been caught speeding in excess of 100 MPH on state and interstate freeways or highways in and around the counties of Fresno, Kings, Tulare, Madera, and Merced. The California Vehicle Code pertaining to this type of violation contains a provision for the suspension of your license status for a period of time, following a conviction.

Representation for Out-of-State Traffic Violations

Most people charged with this type of violation are traveling in an area that they don't even live in, or for that matter, have even heard of. Because of this risk to your license, and the distance required to travel back to an area of the state or the country you won't be visiting again, we offer our services to appear for you in court. Not only can we represent you, we will analyze the case for you and try to reach a reasonable resolution that does not put your license status at risk.
