Traffic Violations

Traffic violations in Georgia are a misdemeanor (see our page for more on what that means). However, they are often handled on an expedited basis, with fines being the only result. Thayer has experience handling traffic violations for his clients and himself (he has a bit of a lead foot). He knows the importance of a quick and painless resolution, with as little of the client’s energy being expended as possible, while making sure to focus on protecting the client’s driving privileges.

However, some cannot abide traffic violations. Those with Commercial Driver’s Licenses, or those with a long history of traffic violations, may not have the luxury of just waiving away the nuisance of traffic enforcement. Thayer has knowledge and experience in dealing with traffic violations; he knows the law and technical requirements for various offenses, and how to discovery flaws in the Government’s allegations. Whether you’re looking to come to a favorable negotiation or whether you’re looking to walk away without a violation at all, our criminal defense attorney will approach the case with your needs in mind.
