Lexington Traffic Court
South Carolina CDL License Defense

Are you a CDL driver who is facing a ticket in the Lexington Traffic Court? You should know that all convictions for moving violations will be reported to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. From there they will be reported to your home state.

Being convicted in the Lexington Traffic Court can have an impact on your driving record. This includes offenses such as:

Speeding
Lane Change Violations
Driving Under the Influence
Too Fast for Conditions
Failure to Yield the Right of Way
Reckless Driving

As a Lexington Traffic Defense Attorney James Snell can assist you with your charge. This may include, at your option, our seeking a reduction of your tickets or representation in a contested trial.

To begin the process contact our office at 1-866-252-5789 and then fax your tickets to us at (803) 359-7691. After reviewing your charges CDL drivers are eligible to receive a no-cost consultation to discuss the options that are available for their type of case. You should understand that representation does not begin until you enter into a written representation agreement with our office and pay any required fees.

What is a Conviction?

When you receive a ticket from any law enforcement officer this means that you have only been charged with the offense. You do not face the loss of points or impact on your driving record until you have been convicted in Court.

You become convicted when you either plead guilty in Court, fail to appear and are found guilty in your absence or are found guilty after a contested trial. Simply because you have received a ticket does not mean that you will automatically be convicted.

How do you Avoid a Conviction?

In order to avoid a conviction it is either necessary to obtain the consent of the police officer or a favorable Court ruling. There are many ways that a South Carolina Ticket can be challenged. This may include direct negotiation with the police officer or by contesting it in Court. Tickets from accidents not observed by the police officer are especially subject to challenge later in Court.
Methods we Employ

Depending on your charge and requested service we are able to appear for you in Lexington Traffic Court on the date on your ticket. In most cases your appearance is not required - although you are welcome to come. We may request a contested trial or a jury trial and can request the officer provide us with any video or audio recordings made from the roadside (usually always available in Highway Patrol cases). After a review of the facts of your case and taking your objectives into account - we can develop a comprehensive strategy to challenge your tickets.
