Types of Traffic Cases We Handle
Speeding is the most common traffic violation in Florida. Depending on how far over the limit you were driving, a speeding ticket can add 3–4 points to your license. Insurance companies routinely raise rates after a single speeding conviction. George Law fights your ticket so you keep a clean record.
Reckless driving in Florida is a misdemeanor criminal offense that carries up to 90 days in jail for a first offense, plus 4 points on your license. This is not a simple traffic ticket — it requires an experienced attorney to defend your driving record and avoid criminal penalties.
Careless driving citations in Florida carry 3 points on your license. These are often issued after accidents, even when fault is disputed. George Law challenges these citations to protect your record and prevent insurance increases.
Driving with a suspended or revoked license is a serious offense in Florida that can result in criminal charges, additional suspension time, and even vehicle impoundment. Our attorneys fight to minimize the impact and protect your driving privileges.
Red light and stop sign violations carry 3 points in Florida. Red light camera tickets (photo enforcement) are civil infractions with no points, but still carry significant fines. Both types can be contested — George Law handles both for the same flat $99 rate.

Why You Should Fight Your Ticket
Paying a ticket means admitting guilt. Here is what points on your license actually cost you:
Insurance Rate Increases
Even 3 points from a single speeding ticket can raise your insurance premium by 20–30% or more — costing hundreds per year.
License Suspension Risk
12 points in 12 months suspends your Florida license for 30 days. 18 points in 18 months means 3 months suspended.
Permanent Driving Record
Convictions stay on your Florida driving record for years — employers and insurers can and do check your record.
CDL & Professional Licenses
Points on a commercial driver's license (CDL) can cost you your livelihood. Professional licenses can also be affected by a poor driving record.
Higher Fines Later
Accumulated points can trigger mandatory court appearances and higher fines on subsequent violations — costs that far exceed our $99 flat rate.
Employer Background Checks
Many employers run motor vehicle record checks. A pattern of traffic violations can affect hiring decisions — especially for driving-related positions.
