When you’re pulled over by a police officer, there are many different ways that the event plays out. The officer might have been looking for a reason to stop you, the officer might be trying to reach a quota, or maybe you missed a stop sign or were speeding. Many think that getting a citation for a traffic violation is relatively minor. In certain circumstances, that’s true.
But, traffic violations of all levels can dramatically affect your ability to drive. If you have received a ticket for any traffic violation, from speeding to driving under the influence of alcohol, it is important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney who will fight to ensure your driving privileges are protected.
Even if it’s your first ticket, certain violations can result in your insurance rates going up for multiple years. A $150 ticket can end up costing you thousands of dollars.
At Marcotte Law Firm in Lowell, Massachusetts, we work with clients to help them achieve the best possible results.

You may have heard that it is best to refuse a Breathalyzer test, but this is not always the case. Failure to take a breathalyzer can result in immediate loss of license. The penalties get much more severe if you’ve been convicted of an OUI before. If you’ve been convicted of multiple OUIs, the penalties add up.
