Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • Does Paying the Fine Mean I Plead Guilty?

    Answer

    Many people can be tempted to pay a ticket in order to move on from the situation; however, this can have far reaching consequences. Typically, paying a fine can be seen as an admission of guilt and accepting the legal ramifications associated with your offense. That is why it is critical to take legal action and understand your options before paying a traffic citation.

  • I’ve Been Arrested. What Can I Do?

    Answer

    If an officer decides to pace you under arrest following an alleged traffic crime, it is vital to understand your rights and take immediate legal action. While law enforcement may place you under intense pressure during questioning, you do not have to talk about your case without an attorney from our firm in your corner. Remember, you can exercise your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.

  • Will I Be Charged with a Misdemeanor?

    Answer

    While many traffic offenses are charged as infractions, the more serious violations can be met with misdemeanor charges. If you are facing charges of any kind, do not make the mistake of underestimating the severity of your situation. Each case is unique and the legal team at Roberts & Teeter, LLC can help you learn about the charges you face as well as how to build a powerful defense.
