Motor Vehicle Violations

To many New Jersey residents, cars not only provide the freedom to travel, but they are a necessary part of earning a living. Receiving a traffic ticket can range from being a mere annoyance to a serious liability that could endanger a person’s livelihood. At the Grimes Law Firm, founded by New Jersey traffic ticket attorney Raymond A. Grimes, we have experience helping drivers accused of motor vehicle violations protect their rights. Whether you are facing a minor offense or multiple DWIs, we have the experience to defend you against the full range of motor vehicle offense charges.

New Jersey uses a point system for driver licenses. If a driver accumulates six points by committing traffic offenses, he faces a surcharge of at least $150. Once a driver has 12 points, his or her license is suspended. In addition, the accumulation of points on your record may increase the cost of car insurance. Because of these serious consequences, it is important — especially if your job depends upon your ability to drive — to minimize the points on your record. If you have been accused of a moving violation, hiring a knowledgeable attorney to protect your rights is the best way to keep points off your driving record.

At the Grimes Law Firm, we have experience handling an array of alleged motor vehicle violations, including those involving:

• Speeding;
• DWI/DUI;
• Reckless Driving;
• Driving with a suspended license;
• Surcharges and points; and
• Administrative hearings.

Whether you have been accused of a simple moving violation, or have been notified that your license is being revoked, we will work diligently to resolve your case.

People accused of a crime, even one involving a simple traffic ticket, have a constitutional right to defend themselves. A knowledgeable traffic attorney possesses a deep understanding of criminal law, knows the inner workings of the justice system, and uses experience to find the most effective way to fight a ticket. At the Grimes Law Firm, we draw on decades of client service to evaluate your case and recommend the best course of action, whether that means fighting the ticket, recommending defensive driving, or negotiating and pleading to a downgraded offense.

If you received a ticket in New Jersey but live in another state, it may be possible for you to resolve your case without returning to New Jersey. At the Grimes Law Firm, we have helped many non-residents handle tickets received in the state. Call our office to speak with an attorney who can discuss your options for disposing of your case without the need to travel back to New Jersey.
