Arizona Traffic Lawyers Corso & Rhude Give the Inside Story on Civil Speeding and Criminal Speeding in Arizona
Arizona civil speeding tickets and criminal traffic tickets can create numerous problems for Arizona residents, according to the Arizona traffic lawyers at Corso & Rhude.
An Arizona speeding ticket can affect driving privileges and lead to the inclusion of points on an Arizona Department of Transportation motor vehicle record (MVR), which can affect a person’s ability to provide for their family.
“And being found guilty of an Arizona traffic offense can increase your auto insurance costs,” said John M. Rhude, Esq., Corso & Rhude founding partner. “Which is why it’s so important to hire experienced Arizona traffic lawyers to represent you.”
According to Rhude, Arizona speeding tickets can lead to expensive surcharges that can last for up to seven years on a driving record.
“A traffic ticket can seem harmless but the ramifications of being found guilty can have long lasting effects,” Rhude said.
Should a Person Defend Themselves?
Any legal matter, no matter how small, means facing an experienced prosecutor, Rhude said. It’s the prosecutor’s job to prosecute offenders and given the number of cases they handle, they become very good at successfully prosecuting defendants.
“The prosecutor is going to do everything in their power to beat you,” said Rhude’s partner, Christopher P. Corso, Esq. “That’s their job. If they didn’t try hard to win, they could lose their job. And no prosecutor is going to lose their job over you.”
When a person hires Corso & Rhude, the law firm’s attorneys move quickly to defend their clients, fighting hard for their defendant. They immediately:
Build a client file with all pertinent information.
Have their legal team call the client to personally introduce themselves.
Draft several motions that need to be filed promptly including a notice of appearance, notice of defense and a motion of discovery.
Reach out to the prosecutor’s office, attempting to start the negotiation process.
Arizona Criminal Speeding Tickets
When it comes to Arizona criminal speeding tickets, the penalties are even more severe. A criminal speeding ticket is a class 3 misdemeanor in the state of Arizona.
“That means, for the rest of your life, if you’re found guilty, you’ll have to answer “Yes” when you’re asked if you have a criminal record,” Rhude said. “On a job application, that makes you different from everyone else. And if you possess an Arizona CDL, you could lose your license - proof that you need an experienced traffic lawyer defending you.”
