A reckless driving charge may seem like a minor traffic matter, but the consequences can extend beyond the initial ticket. Deadlines can approach quickly, and how you respond may affect your driving record, insurance costs, and other areas of your life.

Before your case is reviewed, it can help to gather the documents and information connected to the stop, including:

• Your citation and any notices from the court.

• Dashcam, surveillance, or phone video.

• The date, time, and location of the traffic stop.

• Your recollection of the officer’s statements and actions.

• Insurance information if you’re concerned about potential rate increases.

At The Medlin Law Firm, we begin by reviewing the citation, identifying the applicable law, and confirming the court handling the case. From there, we examine the available evidence for inconsistencies, video that may tell a different story, and potential legal issues involving the traffic stop.
