Traffic Violations

Traffic violations, no matter how big or small, can seriously affect your ability to drive,
your insurance rates, and your driving record. Traffic tickets can result in you paying
large fines to the court, surcharges to motor vehicle, and even a loss of your driving
privileges, if not handled appropriately. The Law Offices of Joanna M. Perilli, LLC,
have represented thousands of clients throughout the State of New Jersey, defending
people with virtually all traffic violations from Speeding Tickets to Driving with a
Suspended License, to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Our Municipal Court and
Traffic Violation attorneys can help you too!

CDL (Commercial Drivers License)

If you have a Commercial Drivers License, then you know how important it is to maintain
a clean driving record and keep your driving privileges in good standing. Whether you face
a minor traffic violation or a more serious alcohol-related charge, Ms. Perilli will craft
the appropriate defense to address your situation, while keeping in mind the importance of
your license to your livelihood.

LICENSE SUSPENSIONS

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Motor Vehicle Services (MVS) tracks your driving
behavior by adding points to your record when you are convicted of a Moving Violation in
New Jersey. The more serious the violation, the more points you are assessed, which remain
on your driving record for a period of time. Up to three points will be subtracted from
your point total for every year of safe driving (no violations or suspensions). But your
point total will never be reduced below zero.

Driving with a Suspended License or Unlicensed Driver

Depending on the nature of the traffic violation and the defendant’s driving record, a judge and prosecutor could seek to suspend your driver’s
license. If you have been charged with driving with a suspended license, whether
it be because of a court-ordered suspension, or DMV imposed suspension, you could
be faced with extended suspensions and even jail time. For example, if you are
convicted of driving on the suspended or revoked list on more than one occasion,
the court must sentence you to jail for a period of time. The period of incarceration
will depend on the number of prior convictions. Enhanced penalties also apply to
DWI. Our municipal court lawyers are well-versed in defending against suspensions
and can ensure that the best possible result will always be sought.
