Received a Traffic Ticket?

At ArborYpsi Law, we have been helping people fight traffic tickets for over 15 years. Understandably, drivers are concerned that a ticket they receive will mean points on their driver’s license, resulting in higher insurance rates.

It has been reported that there is a higher police presence patrolling the roads. This translates to more tickets for drivers.

Can I Fight a Ticket in Michigan?

Yes, you can fight a ticket in Michigan. There is a process by which an attorney can go to court for you and speak with the prosecutor and police officer who wrote the ticket. In that situation, we work with the prosecutor to mitigate the points or impact you may receive from a ticket. Look at our website Traffic Tickets and Offenses to learn more.

How Will I Know if I Will Succeed in Court for My Ann Arbor, Michigan Traffic Ticket?

When a prosecutor or police officer considers reducing a ticket, they will look at a couple things.

1. What is the person’s driving record? If a person has 15 previous tickets on their record, it will of course be more difficult to obtain a favorable result in court. On the other hand, if your record is clean, that really helps to obtain a favorable result.

2. Was there a car accident that lead to the ticket? Obviously, not all tickets are equal. Speeding 10 miles over the speed limit is something we all do from time to time. But if your ticket involved wrecking someone else’s car, then you probably will not expect a prosecutor or police officer to be thrilled about that situation. 

3. How was your interaction with the police officer? This may not seem obvious, but it can matter. Someone who is rude to the officer after being pulled over may face an uphill battle when trying to fight the ticket later. A police officer might be less willing to offer an impeding traffic or double-parking ticket if you were impolite to him or her.

If you get pulled over by a police officer, and they are going to write you a ticket, just smile and take the ticket. Or if you were going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit perhaps apologize for the infraction and move on. It may help you later.
