Wawarsing Traffic Ticket Lawyer

Receiving a speeding ticket in Wawarsing is no joke.  A conviction to driving 86 mph in a 55 mph zone is enough to almost $700.00 in fines payable to the court, an additional $450.00 in penalties payable to the Department of Motor Vehicles, and much more in insurance increases.  If you are a repeat offender, this ticket could result in much higher fines and a loss of driving privileges.
