Traffic Attorney

Protecting Your License and Your Livelihood

For many people, a traffic ticket feels like a minor annoyance—a slip of paper that results in a fine and nothing more. It is easy to think that the simplest solution is to just “pay it and forget it.” However, at the Law Office of George Renneberg, we know that paying a ticket is an admission of guilt that can have long-lasting and expensive consequences. A simple speeding ticket or a citation for running a red light does not just disappear after you write a check. It adds points to your driving record, which can lead to skyrocketing insurance premiums that cost you thousands of dollars over the next few years. In some cases, accumulating too many points can result in the suspension of your driver’s license, making it impossible for you to get to work or take care of your family. We are here to stop that domino effect before it starts.

We view traffic defense as a vital service for keeping good people on the road. We handle all types of traffic infractions, from speeding and reckless driving to failure to yield and driving with a suspended license. We understand that police officers make mistakes. Radar guns can be calibrated incorrectly; visual estimates of speed can be flawed; and traffic signs can be obscured by trees or graffiti. We do not take the officer’s word as final. We investigate the specific circumstances of your ticket. We look at the weather conditions, the traffic flow, and the officer’s vantage point. By finding these factual weaknesses, we can often get tickets dismissed or reduced to non-moving violations that do not impact your insurance rates.

For professional drivers who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), a traffic ticket is not just an inconvenience; it is a threat to your career. We specialize in defending truckers and professional drivers. We know that CDL holders are held to a higher standard and that even minor infractions can lead to job loss or disqualification. We fight aggressively to protect your CDL, understanding that your license is your livelihood. We are familiar with the specific regulations governing commercial drivers and use that knowledge to build robust defenses that aim to keep your record clean and your truck on the road.

One of the biggest benefits of hiring the Law Office of George Renneberg for your traffic case is the convenience and peace of mind we provide. In many traffic cases, we can appear in court on your behalf. This means you do not have to take a day off work, find childcare, or spend hours waiting in a crowded courtroom. We handle the bureaucracy and the legal arguments while you go about your daily life. We keep you informed of the outcome, aiming to make the process as stress-free and invisible to you as possible.

We also assist clients who are facing the nightmare of a suspended license. We know that the system can be a trap; you lose your license because of unpaid tickets, but you need to drive to work to earn the money to pay them. If you are caught driving while suspended, the penalties escalate quickly, potentially leading to jail time. We work to break this cycle. We help you navigate the steps to reinstate your license, negotiating with the courts to clear up old holds and setting up payment plans where possible. We want to get you back to being a fully legal driver so you can drive without the constant fear of being pulled over.

Our approach is personal and practical. We don’t just process your case; we analyze it. We look for the best strategic outcome that saves you money and protects your driving privileges. We have established relationships with local prosecutors and judges, which allows us to negotiate effectively. We know which arguments resonate in which courtrooms. Whether it involves attending a driving school to wipe a ticket or finding a technicality that invalidates the citation, we explore every option.

Traffic laws are more complex than they appear, and the system is designed to generate revenue. You need an advocate who is on your side, not the system’s side. We believe that you have the right to challenge the state’s accusations. We take pride in saving our clients money and frustration.

Don’t let a traffic ticket disrupt your life or drain your bank account. Before you pay that fine, talk to us. Let the Law Office of George Renneberg review your citation and explain your options. We are here to keep your record clean and keep you moving forward.
