A traffic ticket, or traffic citation is issued when a driver is in violation of moving or non-moving traffic laws that involve actions or other situations regarding a motor vehicle vehicle.

Clicking on an individual traffic violation will tell you if the infraction is a criminal or non criminal traffic violation or offense, points that will be assessed to your drivers license, potential penalties, and what the Ohio Statutes currently say.

It is important to know that during the course of a simple traffic stop, the law enforcement officer may ask you for permission or impose his authority to search your vehicle under the assumption of probable cause, or administer field sobriety tests if they suspect you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In some situations, this may lead to potential criminal charges, depending upon what they find, or their personal perception of your sobriety.

The fact is, during a routine traffic stop YOU DO HAVE RIGHTS. If those rights were violated by law enforcement during any point of the traffic stop, we will ensure the actions of law enforcement are brought to light in an effort to protect your legal rights.
