Traffic Lawyers in Gainesville, FL
Have You Received a Speeding Ticket or Been Cited for Other Traffic-Related Violations?
If so, you may benefit from speaking with an attorney prior to taking other actions. Although paying the fine for a traffic citation may appear to be the easiest solution, it may not be in your best interest. Points against your Florida driver's license can add up quickly, and a blemished driving record may result in auto insurance premium surcharges that can last for years. If you receive multiple tickets within a certain time frame, you could lose your driver’s license. Receiving a traffic ticket does not mean that you are guilty of the offense, but submitting payment does. Fighting your ticket is the only way that it can be dismissed. To protect your interests, it is important to seek legal counsel in a timely manner.
Our experienced traffic attorney in Gainesville can help you if you find yourself in a tricky situation with the law. We know about all the applicable state and municipality laws, understand how to navigate the legal system, can provide strategic guidance for defending yourself against the charge, and work with prosecutors to reach an agreement on a plea bargain or sentence reduction.
At The Law Offices of Edwards & Jones, our traffic defense lawyers have successfully represented clients for a broad range of violations such as:
- Speeding Tickets
- Red Light Violation
- Suspended Driver's License
- Running a Stop Sign
- No "Car Insurance"
- Passing a School Bus
- Speeding in a School Zone
- Ordinance Violations
- Warrant Roundup
- Failure to Appear in Court
Deferred Adjudication | Traffic Safety Training
For certain infractions, you may opt for a deferred adjudication where you can complete a driving safety course prior to your court date. If eligible, you will have to pay certain administrative fees to attend training. However, with the successful completion of the program, you may avoid having to pay the fine as well as accumulating additional points against your license. If you believe you were driving safely at the time your ticket was issued or that you were unreasonably cited for a moving violation, our defense attorneys may be able to have the case dismissed or plead down the violation to protect your driving record.

Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case. Very helpful throughout the whole 6-7 month process. Not only did he get all my questions answered to the best of his abilities but also really showed compassion for my family & I during the case as well as after. 5 star lawyer, highly recommended. Thank you for all your hard work!- Jackie A.

I first hired Thomas Edwards to defend me and my daughter in the early 1990s. He put his heart into that case. Of all the attorneys in the state of Florida, he would be the one I would call if the need for an attorney ever arose again.- Jan

We are from Lake City, Florida. As parents, we sought the help of Mr. Edwards on my daughter's behalf. As a young lady, she had acquired multiple felonies with the prospect of 10-15 years in prison facing her. Mr. Edwards heard our case, took it on with confidence, and got her sentence reduced to 10 years probation, and restitution. That was 8 years ago, and my daughter is married, has a son, and is doing great. She hasn't even had a traffic violation. Because Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will forever be in his debt. He is a great lawyer, with a very big heart.- Colin

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Edwards represent me in 2006. While I was charged with a crime, Mr. Edwards insisted sternly that he was very confident he could successfully defend the charges against me. This man exudes confidence. It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville. You can't go wrong with Mr. Edwards!!!- Everette Sr.
