Reckless Driving Defense Attorney

Reckless driving is actually a very serious charge.  If you are convicted, you may lose your driver's license and pay steep fines.  If there was an accident involved, the penalty is increased.  If there was an injury, once again you face a higher penalty.  If a fatality occurred and it is determined that your reckless driving caused the accident, you can face a long sentence in state prison.  If you have been arrested and charged with this offense, it is important to fight by enlisting the assistance of a Los Angeles reckless driving defense lawyer.  At the California Justice Law Group, a criminal defense lawyer who is extremely familiar with defending such charges will immediately review your case and advise you of the best options for your defense. 

 

You do not want to enter the courtroom without an attorney.  If anyone advises you to do this, they do not have your best interests in mind.  You need a legal representative who can look into the case and determine if you are really at fault, or if there is an issue regarding an overzealous law enforcement officer who decided you needed to go to jail.  This does happen, and your case can be defended.  In some cases, the accused was swerving to avoid something on the road and gets picked up for reckless driving.

 

It must be determined what really occurred in the incident.  If you are arrested for this charge, the first thing you must understand is that you should not answer questions from law enforcement until you get a lawyer.  This is actually true, as people who are nervous often get "chatty" with police (who take note of everything) and say things that affect their case negatively when it goes to court.  If you hope to have the charges dropped or to continue to be able to drive in the state, it is critical that you have an attorney who will seek out the way to defend you effectively.
