Reckless Driving in Seattle

Many people mistakenly believe that a reckless driving conviction is not such a big deal. Nothing could be further from the truth. A reckless driving conviction could put you in jail for up to one year and cost you $5,000 in fines. It also incurs a mandatory 30 day driver’s license suspension, which will mean having to carry expensive high-risk (SR-22) auto insurance for three years after it is reinstated. Obviously, it makes sense to do everything you can to minimize these penalties, and our Seattle reckless driving lawyers have the experience and dedication required to help.

A person accused of reckless driving in Seattle is said to have been driving with willful disregard for the safety of other people and their property. Still, the prosecution must prove this beyond any reasonable doubt.

Jason S. Newcombe is a Seattle attorney who can aggressively defend you by exposing the speculative nature of these charges. Our team of Seattle reckless driving attorneys will explore every nuance of your case from top to bottom. We will find out why you were stopped in the first place, and the nature of the offense as interpreted by the police officer who issued the charge.

With over 30 years of combined experience, we know where to look to collect facts that will firm up your defense so that we can aggressively seek to have your charges reduced or dismissed.

It is especially important to protect yourself from a reckless driving charge if you already have points against your driving record. A reckless driving conviction will add one point to your Seattle driving record. These points accumulate, and if you get three in a five year period, you are then subject to having your driver’s license revoked for a period of seven years.

Don’t let the opinion of one police officer hurt your chances in court. Let our firm of experienced and aggressive legal professionals fight diligently to protect your rights.
