Rockville Traffic Violations Lawyer
Respected Legal Counsel in Montgomery County, MD

Traffic violations can be more than a temporary nuisance; they can significantly impact your driving record, insurance rates, and stress levels. While it may seem convenient to pay your traffic fine and move on, it is an admission of guilt. Once you pay, you waive the opportunity to dispute the ticket or reduce your charges.
Some traffic violations can also result in more than just an infraction. Major violations, such as DUI, are misdemeanors, while hit-and-run incidents are charged as felonies in cases of injury or death.
At Bortmes Legal Services, LLC, our experienced attorney understands local and state laws regarding traffic violations and can give you the guidance and representation you need. We defend clients in all traffic infractions and other offenses to protect client rights and pursue favorable outcomes.

Maryland’s Demerit Points System
Maryland uses a demerit points system to track and penalize drivers who commit traffic violations. When convicted of a traffic offense, points are added to your record based on the severity of the violation.
Three to four points trigger a Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) warning letter. Five to seven points require participation in a Driver Improvement Program. Eight to eleven points result in a license suspension, while twelve or more points lead to a revocation.
Points remain on your record for two years from the violation date, but the repercussions can extend far beyond that. Accumulating too many points can disrupt your ability to drive legally and result in other penalties.
