Traffic tickets and moving violations can lead to more than just an inconvenience. They can result in points on your driving record, higher insurance premiums, costly fines, and even license suspension. At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we understand how disruptive these consequences can be to your life. Our skilled legal team serves drivers throughout Gwinnett County, including Lawrenceville, Duluth, Snellville, and Suwanee, working to minimize the impact of traffic offenses on your record and your future.

Traffic violations in Georgia can carry significant penalties, depending on the nature and severity of the offense. Speeding tickets, for instance, may result in fines and points on your license, with extreme speeding classified as a “super speeder” offense that carries additional penalties. Reckless driving charges involve allegations of “reckless disregard” for safety and can result in fines, jail time, and a criminal record. Driving without a valid license, whether suspended, revoked, or expired, can lead to severe repercussions, especially for repeat offenses. Other offenses, such as failure to obey traffic signals or improper lane changes, may escalate if they contribute to accidents or injuries. DUI-related traffic violations bring even harsher penalties, particularly when alcohol or drugs are involved.

Georgia’s point-based system assigns specific values to traffic violations, and accumulating 15 points within 24 months can lead to a driver’s license suspension.

For example:

• Speeding: 2–6 points, depending on how far over the limit you were driving

• Reckless Driving: 4 points

• Improper Passing: 3 points

• Failure to Obey a Traffic Control Device: 3 points

Points on your record can result in increased insurance premiums and long-term financial consequences. Retaining an attorney to fight or reduce these charges can help prevent costly outcomes.

Traffic offenses can lead to a range of penalties, including:

1. Fines and Court Costs

• Most traffic tickets come with fines that vary by offense severity.

• Court costs are often added to the base fine, increasing the total penalty.

2. Increased Insurance Premiums

• Insurance rates often rise after a traffic conviction, particularly with multiple violations.

• Points on your record signal higher risk, further hiking premiums.

3. License Suspension or Revocation

• Repeated offenses or serious violations can result in suspension or revocation of driving privileges, affecting your ability to work or fulfill personal obligations.

4. Criminal Record

• Some violations, like reckless driving or driving on a suspended license, may be classified as misdemeanors or more severe crimes, leaving you with a permanent record.

When your child is charged with a crime, their future is at stake. A juvenile criminal record can have far-reaching consequences, including impacts on educational opportunities, college admissions, and future employment. At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we specialize in representing minors throughout Gwinnett County, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment whenever possible. Our goal is to protect your child’s future and help them move forward with their life.

Juvenile offenses encompass a wide range of behaviors, and even minor infractions can result in significant legal consequences. Underage drinking and DUIs are among the most common charges, and even a first offense can lead to license suspension and affect scholarships or extracurricular eligibility. Shoplifting and theft charges are taken seriously by schools and local businesses, often resulting in swift law enforcement involvement. Experimental behavior such as drug possession or vandalism can quickly escalate into legal situations with lasting repercussions.

At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we prioritize your child’s future by exploring alternatives to detention and advocating for resolutions that minimize the long-term impact of juvenile charges.

We work to secure options such as community service, counseling, or diversion programs, helping your child avoid a permanent criminal record. Our team ensures that minors are treated fairly throughout the legal process, from police interrogations to court proceedings.
