Trial Lawyers Relentlessly Pursuing Justice
Understanding Criminal Traffic Offenses and Infractions
Most traffic offenses fall under the category of infractions. An infraction is a lesser offense than a misdemeanor or felony. In general, when a traffic offense causes injury to a person or destruction of property; or, when it threatens injury or destruction, it is reclassified as a misdemeanor or felony. For example, running a stop sign could be classified as a misdemeanor unless the driver hit and killed someone while doing so. In that case, it would become a felony.
When you have been charged with a traffic misdemeanor or felony, you are entitled to have a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney represent you. Traffic offenses of this kind are dealt with as criminal offenses. You will want the best legal representation you can get in order to reach the best possible outcome for your circumstances. At Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP, we bring a combined 50 years of legal experience to the table. We have an excellent record when it comes to getting charges dismissed or reduced.
