What's at Risk
Paying the Ticket Is Not Always the Safe Choice
Georgia uses a points system to track traffic violations. Each conviction adds points to your license. When those points stack up, your insurance rates go up, your license gets suspended, and if you hold a CDL, your commercial driving privileges can be at risk too. A single ticket might not seem serious. Two or three tickets over a few years can cost you far more than the fine you paid to make the first one go away.
-
Your License
Accumulate 15 or more points in 24 months and your license is automatically suspended in Georgia.
-
Your Insurance
A conviction -- not just a charge -- goes on your driving record and can raise your insurance premiums for years.
-
Your CDL
Two serious traffic violations in three years can trigger a 60-day CDL disqualification, even if the violation was in your personal vehicle.
-
Your Record
Traffic convictions follow your driving record. Future employers, insurers, and courts can see every one of them.
Specialized Practice
How SFS Law Defends Traffic Violation Cases
Not every traffic case goes to trial, and not every case should. Sturla looks at the facts, the evidence, and the charge then figures out the best path forward. Sometimes that means contesting the ticket. Sometimes it means negotiating a reduced charge. Either way, the goal is to protect your license and keep the conviction off your record.
-
Contesting the Charge
Radar calibration records, officer testimony, dashcam footage -- Sturla knows what to look for and how to challenge the evidence.
-
Negotiating a Reduction
In many cases a charge can be reduced to a lower-point violation or a non-moving violation, protecting your record without a full trial.
-
Protecting Your CDL
If you hold a CDL, Sturla evaluates every traffic charge through that lens. What affects a regular driver differently may affect a commercial driver permanently.
-
License Suspension Defense
If your license is already at risk due to accumulated points, Sturla can help you understand your options before a suspension takes effect.
