Traffic Violations and License Restoration

In Alabama, all traffic tickets are processed through the criminal court system. This means your case will be on the same court docket as DUI charges, reckless driving, and attempting to elude. In Alabama, paying a ticket is a conviction that stays on your record.

Strategies and Common Violations

It is crucial to consult with a criminal defense lawyer. We can help you understand the charges you face, your constitutional rights, and your legal options.


Strategies to fight your ticket or arrest:

  • Fighting for Dismissals

  • Negotiating Reductions

  • Arguing to Prevent Points & Insurance Increases

Common Alabama Traffic Violations

  • Speeding Tickets/Speeding in a School Zone

  • Stop Sign / Red Light Violations

  • Leaving the Scene of an Accident

  • Driving Without Insurance

  • Texting While Driving

  • Reckless Driving

Failure to appear in court can result in an arrest warrant and license suspension.

License Restoration

In Alabama, restoring a suspended or revoked license involves navigating specific procedures and potential legal avenues. First, drivers must fulfill the suspension period, which can vary depending on the offense and previous driving history. Additionally, reinstatement fees must be paid.  Individuals may also need to complete court-ordered requirements like treatment programs or attend substance abuse classes.  In some cases, a hardship license may be available, allowing limited driving privileges during the suspension period for work or other essential needs. 

In Alabama, driving on a suspended or revoked license is punishable by fines and potential jail time. 

Expungement

Alabama has an expungement law that allows certain criminal records to be sealed. Expungement effectively hides arrest records and court records associated with criminal cases.
