Interview Transcript

Scott Michael Dunn: Well, let’s get into what it takes to hire a traffic lawyer. Well, first of all, what does a traffic lawyer do?

Chris Combs: So it’s – I can’t say this enough, it is so critical to always get an attorney for a traffic ticket. It is.

A lot of times, police officers don’t do you any favors. They’ll just say, “Hey, this is no big deal. You know, the fine’s on the back, you mail it in and…” Well, that’s pleading guilty, and that’s taking the points. So, traffic lawyers are not terribly expensive, and to keep your driving record clean, why would you not?

Because you’re going to see those costs and increased insurance premiums. So hiring a traffic lawyer is a complete no-brainer.
