Traffic Crimes Put Experience On Your Side

Fort Walton Beach Traffic Crimes Attorney

Defending Clients Who Are Facing Traffic Crime Charges in Okaloosa County

At one point or another, most drivers receive a citation while on the road. Whether it be for speeding or another kind of moving violation, these are frustrating for drivers but not necessarily serious. In some cases, however, drivers are charged with crimes for their alleged misconduct behind the wheel. In these cases, drivers can face more than just fine, and it is advised that they seek defense counsel to explore their legal options.

If you have been charged for a crime on the road, then we invite you to contact our experienced team of Fort Walton Beach traffic crime attorneys at Vanover Law Firm today. Our Okaloosa County criminal defense lawyers have handled thousands of criminal cases, including many traffic crimes. We know how the state of Florida pursues convictions in these matters and what can be done to minimize the effects they have on our clients’ lives.

What Are Common Traffic Violations in Florida?

Unlike moving violations—which simply go on your driving record—traffic crimes are actual misdemeanor and felony offenses. That means that they can result in fines and incarceration if a guilty verdict is reached.

Examples of traffic crimes in Florida include:

  1. Leaving the scene of an accident
  2. Unlawful use of an identification card
  3. Expired/no valid driver's license
  4. Reckless driving
  5. Letting an unauthorized person operate the vehicle
  6. Highway racing
  7. Refusal to submit to a BAC test

These are just a few of many possible traffic-related crimes included in our state statutes. At Vanover Law Firm, we're ready to dig deep into your traffic crime case, examine all the evidence, review all relevant video footage, and speak to witnesses to ensure that any possible shortcoming in the state's case against you is properly addressed in the courtroom.

    "DUI for charging my phone"
    Great team, Chris and Angela are great, although things didn’t go easy through the COVID period they battled for me, unfortunately my Life took a turn and regretfully I backed out of going to trial and took the plea offered, I know what I did and I would make the same decision again in that situation but unfortunately some of the best decisions are punishable by law, I truly think Mr. Garret would have been a force to be reckoned with at trial, and I would have love to have witnessed it, but life is life. I would whole heartedly recommend him and his team, they where a blessing to me in the understanding all my circumstances.. God Bless

    I hired Mr. Vanover to handle my DUI in Okaloosa County. Not only did he help me not lose my drivers license but my case ended up being reduced to a reckless driving. I'm very happy and would recommend the Vanover Law Firm if you find yourself charged with a crime.
