How Traffic Violation Cases Work
At Verdelski Miller Law, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive understanding of the traffic violation legal process. Our expertise covers every stage, from the moment of the traffic stop to potential post-trial actions, ensuring you receive thorough representation throughout your case.
Traffic Stop and Initial Charges
The legal process for traffic violations begins with a traffic stop followed by the issuance of a citation or charge based on Indiana law. When facing these charges, Verdelski Miller promptly steps in to analyze the details, safeguard your rights, and begin crafting a defense strategy.
Bail and Pre-trial Motions
For certain serious traffic violations, such as reckless driving, bail may be required. Verdelski Miller advocates for fair bail conditions or, when possible, release without bail. Additionally, we prepare crucial pre-trial motions that can influence the case, from challenging the legality of the traffic stop to questioning the accuracy of speed measurements.
The Plea Negotiations Process
Not all cases proceed to trial. At Verdelski Miller, we skillfully handle plea negotiations, aiming to secure reduced charges or more favorable terms that align with our clients’ best interests.
Trial and Sentencing
If your case proceeds to trial, our team is well-prepared to mount a strong defense. We work to counter the prosecution’s evidence and present a compelling case. If sentencing is required, our goal is to achieve the most fair and appropriate disposition, focusing on mitigating factors that directly affect penalties in an effort to preserve your driving record.
Post-trial Options (e.g., Appeals)
In certain situations, the legal process extends beyond the initial judgment. Verdelski Miller is devoted to exploring post-trial avenues such as appeals and post-conviction relief petitions. We carefully examine your case for any possible legal mistakes or new evidence that could support an appeal or a petition for post-conviction relief, always striving to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
