Arizona Traffic Attorney

What can an Arizona speeding ticket attorney accomplish that you cannot. A local attorney knows the court, the judge and the law. That is how he makes his living and if he could not be effective he would not be in practice. In many cases he can contact the court and arrange for a satisfactory reduction and save you money in the long run. Most people do not have the time to spend in an Arizona traffic court and regard the attorney fee as money well spent. In all cases where there is the possibility of jail time or a license suspension you should retain an Arizona traffic ticket attorney.

Your citation was for a civil moving violation;
You have not attended a defensive drive class for any Arizona civil traffic violation in the last 24 months;

Arizona Photo Radar and Red Light Camera Tickets

Photo radars and red light cameras are being used in more Arizona cities and counties for catching violators and to increase revenue. Pima County, Phoenix, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Tucson and Scottsdale Arizona are some of the cities currently using red light cameras and photo radar cameras. A camera takes a picture of the speeding car or red light running vehicle and the license number is used to track the owner. The city then mails the ticket which indicates the driver is required to sign and return. The only problem is that the Arizona courts have held that service by mail is illegal. However, by signing and returning the traffic ticket, the driver has waived his right to be personally served.

Court of Appeals of Arizona, Division One, Department C 171 Ariz. 449; 831 P.2d 448; 1992 Ariz. App. May 12, 1992 The appellant's recourse when a defendant fails to execute the acknowledgement of receipt is to continue the hearing and serve the complaint by some other authorized method. See Ariz.R.Civ.P. 4.1(c)(3). Until the magistrate's court obtains personal jurisdiction, it has no power to enter an order of civil sanction against a defendant.

However, if there is an allegation that you were personally served, perhaps at an old address, the Arizona court will suspend your license if you fail to acknowledge the summons. If this should happen to you, retain an Arizona traffic attorney to have the speeding ticket dismissed for lack of service. The court can then attempt personal service.

Are points assessed against my driver's license for photo enforcement convictions?

Yes they are. In accordance with Arizona Administrative Code R17-4-404, Driver Point System, points are assessed by the Arizona MVD for each conviction reported to them by the Court. Each red light conviction is assigned two points, and each speed conviction is assigned three points.

Out of State License Arizona Photo Radar Ticket

Arizona Photo Radar tickets are required to be served on the driver of the vehicle. If you acknowledge the first letter you receive or sign for the certified letter that will follow, you are considered to be served and the Arizona traffic court will have jurisdiction. If you are not served, the court should dismiss the ticket. If you are found guilty, the Arizona court will report the speeding ticket or red light violation to your home state and it will be treated in accordance with the laws of your state.

You need to be sure to follow your Arizona ticket on the court website to be sure that it is actually dismissed. I have received numerous reports where there was a false allegation of service and you find out later that your license is suspended.

ARIZONA TRAFFIC TICKET AND DUI ATTORNEYS

Arizona Auto Insurance

Arizona law enforcement officers will ask you for proof of Arizona auto insurance at the time of traffic stops or accidents. Insurance companies notify MVD of all Arizona insurance policy cancellations, non-renewals, and new policies. If your insurance company sends MVD a notice that your auto insurance policy is no longer active, the Arizona DMV will send you an inquiry notice to verify insurance status.

Failure to maintain proper Arizona auto insurance could lead to the suspension of your vehicle registration and/or driver license. To reinstate these privileges, fees and future proof of financial responsibility must be filed with Arizona MVD. The future proof requirement is most commonly an SR22 form from an insurance company. This can be expensive to the vehicle owner, especially since the law requires the owner to carry the SR22 for three years from the date of suspension.

Teenage Driver - Arizona Driving License

The important thing is that your auto insurance premiums will drastically increase if you are a teenage driver and receive points on your driving record.
