Northeast Florida Traffic Violation Lawyers

The experienced criminal defense attorneys of Stone, Taylor & Associates defend clients against all traffic offenses. Based in Jacksonville, we help clients across Northeast Florida avoid steep fines, points toward license suspension, driving school, and criminal convictions on their record.

Upon receiving a speeding ticket in the Jacksonville area, many motorists are tempted to pay the fine and "be done with it." The problem is that the state of Florida considers this a guilty plea, and assesses points against your Florida driver's license (or notifies the motor vehicle department in your home state) which may mean that you will lose your license. Accumulation of too many reckless driving points or points for other offenses results in suspension of your license. Your auto insurance carrier will also raise your rates.

Stone, Taylor & Associates aggressively challenges the citation to get charges dismissed, reduced to a lesser offense, or suspended (withhold of adjudication). We defend clients against all traffic offenses:

• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
• Reckless driving / careless driving / aggressive driving
• Failure to maintain the lane
• Traffic signal violation / failure to yield
• Driving while license is suspended (DWLS)
• Driving without insurance
• DUI / DWI
• Open container of alcohol
• Seatbelt violations and equipment violations

These allegations are rarely cut and dried. They are open to statutory interpretations and distinctions we can prove in court. If we can show there was no reasonable cause to stop a driver for speeding or careless driving, for instance, we can often get traffic citations dismissed. Our attorneys have successfully challenged speeding tickets clocked by radar.

If the citation resulted from a traffic accident, we try to prove that our client was not at fault or cannot be conclusively proved to be at fault. This is critical to avoid a lawsuit and keep a serious conviction off your record.

Defending Professional Drivers and Pilots

We understand that commercial drivers and airplane pilots risk losing their CDL license or pilot's license if convicted of DUI charges or certain traffic violations. We fight hard to wipe out the charges and preserve your livelihood.
