Dealing with traffic tickets on your own can be challenging, especially if you believe you did not deserve the ticket. It often feels like the easiest way to deal with a speeding ticket in Thomasville, Georgia, and the surrounding areas is simply to pay it. However, if you do so, you are admitting guilt. This will affect your driving record and may cause your insurance premiums to increase. There could be even more consequences if you have a number of speeding tickets on your record already or if you fall into the Super Speeder category. This is why you need the experts at the Kunes Law Office on your side. We will help you reduce your penalties or even get your case dismissed.
Thomas State Court
The Thomas State Court building is located at 337 East Jackson Street in Thomasville, Georgia. However, the court does have a website that allows you to download and complete multiple forms and pay your traffic fines. Again, this paying your fines online does allow you to skip your court date, but it also waves your right to protest the ticket or enter a plea of not guilty. You are stating that you do not contest the charges in any way.
Consequences of a Traffic Ticket in Thomasville
If you pay your ticket or defend yourself in court and lose, the speeding ticket will go on your driving record. Your auto insurance company can check this record whenever they want, and they can use it to adjust your premiums. If you have accumulated a large number of tickets, they may even cancel your policy. You can also have your license suspended if you have a large number of traffic violations, especially if you fail to pay your fines timely. If you work with us, we will do everything we can to get your traffic ticket dismissed. It is often easier than you may think. A good number of traffic tickets contain errors. We have years of experience in identifying these errors and bringing them to the court’s attention. This often results in a lesser charge or the ticket being invalidated.
Handling a DUI Charge in Thomas State Court
A DUI charge carries more penalties and can have more serious consequences than a simple traffic ticket, so you certainly want to have your day in court to explain the situation from your point of view. DUIs can result in jail time, high fines, and even the permanent loss of your driver’s license if you accumulate several. They may also even have an effect on your job, especially if you are seeking a career in a field that requires you to drive other people or have a commercial driver’s license.
