Gloucester NJ Reckless Driving Defense Lawyer

Traffic Ticket Attorney with Offices in Camden County, New Jersey

Reckless Driving
Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is a broad charge and can result from a number of different situations. As such, being pulled over for this offense many times is left to the discretion of the police officer. Even though this offense is quite broad, it is one of the more serious traffic offenses in New Jersey as a conviction can subject a person to jail time and heavy fines depending on the circumstances such as the speed you were driving and whether another person was injured as a result of the reckless driving. If you have been charged with reckless driving it is crucial that you speak to a skilled and knowledgeable attorney that can get you the most positive result in your case.

The criminal defense team at the Law Offices of Leonard Biddison have had tremendous success handling countless traffic violations such as reckless driving, speeding, and driving without insurance for years in Camden County including Haddon Heights, Gloucester, Winslow Township, and Cherry Hill. We understand the details of this area of the law and will work to get your reckless downgraded to a lesser charge such as unsafe driving or dismissed altogether. The advantage of getting the charges downgraded is that it may result in getting no points on your license which will save you money in the future.
