Motor Vehicle Infractions

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.

Our license suspension lawyers have more than 150 years of combined experience and work with clients who have received traffic tickets for motor vehicle infractions such as moving violations, driving to endanger, driving uninsured or speeding.

No matter the cause, losing your license can turn your life upside down. It can affect your ability to work, especially for those who live outside of easily accessible public transportation. Especially for relatively minor reasons, loss of license can be a catastrophic penalty.

Our New Hampshire and Massachusetts firm works with first time and repeat offenders who have been charged with OUI or DUI. In our extensive work with such clients, we have found that there is a great deal of misinformation regarding procedure when stopped by a police officer.

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.
