Hiring a Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Sometimes a ticket is not “just a ticket.” With the risk of higher insurance costs and losing your license, you should never simply accept a ticket. Whether you are charged with a speeding ticket or driving under a suspended license, it is important to have an attorney who will work to get you the best result possible. If you have received a motor vehicle citation or would like information about getting your driver’s license reinstated, call 412-596-8124 today.
Fighting a Ticket on your own
Sometimes, a ticket is “just a ticket” and you don’t need an attorney to go to court with you to help fight it. In cases where clients don’t want to have a lawyer go with them to court but could still use help preparing to fight the ticket, Bickerton Law offers limited representation through an in-office consultation.
