• Challenge the evidence against you (such as radar gun readings, accident reconstruction, or witness testimony)
• Represent you in court to dispute charges or negotiate a plea deal
• Work to reduce the fine, eliminate points, or have the ticket dismissed
• Keep your driving record as clean as possible
