Peter B. Maguddayao, Attorney at Law, PLLC represents defendants at their contested ticket or infraction hearing. Whether a client has been charged for speeding, failing to stop, or any other traffic violation, he is experienced in getting tickets dismissed in many jurisdictions, including Seattle, Renton, Bellevue, Redmond, Lynnwood, Federal Way and Tacoma.
As a former court clerk in King County District Court, he is familiar with the court rules regarding traffic tickets and infractions. If the court or the prosecuting authority did not follow the court rules, then the ticket is highly likely to be dismissed. Below are the some of the most common reasons tickets are dismissed.
- Law Enforcement Agency filed the ticket or infraction late;
- The court did not give timely notice of the hearing date; or
- Prosecuting authority did not provide the police report, or provided the police report in an untimely manner after properly requesting discovery.
In most cases, tickets can be dismissed, substantially reduced, or deferred for a 12-month period and ultimately not affect your auto insurance premiums.
