Criminal Infractions
Infractions are minor violations of the law. Traffic infractions are the most common form of infractions. An infraction is not as serious as a misdemeanor and depending on the circumstances is not considered a crime. Committing an infraction usually results in a ticket or citation, without jail time.
When a person receives too many traffic infractions or fails to respond by paying a traffic infraction, their license may be suspended by the Department of Licensing. Infractions can last up to several years.
Because infractions are minor, some people represent themselves. Others want to avoid appearing in court and prefer paying the fine, so they hire a criminal lawyer. An experienced criminal lawyer can handle infraction cases dealing with traffic violations, DUIs, speeding tickets, hit and runs or other traffic infractions. If a person is charged with a misdemeanor, a criminal lawyer can also help reduce it to an infraction to help that person avoid a criminal record.
