When to Contact a Traffic Defense Attorney in Colorado
Traffic tickets have short response deadlines — typically 15 to 30 days. Simply paying the fine is an admission of guilt that adds points to your license, increases your insurance rates for years, and may even lead to license suspension if you're close to the point limit. Fighting the ticket often costs less than the long-term insurance increases.
