Traffic Offenses
In the state of Colorado, traffic violations carry a point penalty, ranging from one point for the least serious violation to 12 points for the most serious. If an individual in Denver receives at least 12 points within a 12-month span, his license will be automatically suspended for up to one year. For this reason, it's extremely important to be represented by an attorney who understands the laws related to traffic violations and has the ability to negotiate like Chris Charles.
From seemingly minor traffic violations such as parking meter citations to major DUI cases, Chris Charles is willing to defend your rights in court. It's important to note that even for speeding tickets, many of the defenses are complex and technical, so you will need an experienced attorney on your side to secure the most favorable outcome possible.

Did you know?
Committing a traffic violation, such as running a stop sign or turning without signaling, doesn't alone constitute reckless driving. However, combinations of traffic violations or aggravating circumstances can support a reckless driving conviction. For example, a court could find that running several red lights at high speed when other traffic or pedestrians are around is reckless driving.
Chris Charles will fight to prevent the serious consequences that can result from reckless driving and every other traffic violation. He will have the violation dismissed or the charge reduced, and will prevent points from being assessed, or have fewer points assessed, on your driving record whenever possible.
