A civil infraction refers to the breach of specific regulations that results in the imposition of a monetary fine or a minor penalty. Typically, when you are issued a traffic ticket in Michigan, it also constitutes a civil infraction. In Michigan, civil infractions can be considered the lowest crime level. Meaning; Felonies are serious, misdemeanors are serious (but less so than felonies), and civil infractions are under misdemeanors.
Still, retaining an attorney can help you at the time of the infraction and down the road.
Civil Infraction Basics
Civil infractions, often arising from violations of municipal ordinances, are minor offenses that usually incur fines but do not carry the possibility of imprisonment. Since infractions cannot lead to jail time or probation, individuals charged with infractions do not possess the right to a trial by jury. Traffic offenses constitute the most prevalent type of civil infractions.
Civil infractions can have adverse effects on your driving record, leading to increased insurance costs and license suspension. Even a seemingly minor act like disregarding a traffic sign can result in the accumulation of 3 points, and once enough points are accumulated, it jeopardizes your driving privileges. In Michigan, losing the ability to drive can have a catastrophic impact on your employment, daily life, and ability to provide for your family. You have several options when it comes to legal representation, including representing yourself, hiring a general practice or multi-practice lawyer, or seeking assistance from a lawyer experienced in handling traffic civil infractions and criminal offenses.
Considering Hiring an Attorney for Civil Infractions
To ensure the best possible outcome for your case, it is essential to engage an attorney who is familiar with the specific court you are dealing with, knowledgeable about the specific civil infraction, and skilled in pursuing them effectively. Different courts, prosecutors, and judges have their unique approaches when it comes to traffic matters and civil infractions.
Having an advocate who understands the legal landscape and is acquainted with your specific circumstances is crucial for securing favorable results. A highly skilled civil infraction attorney maximizes the chances of having your ticket dismissed and thrown out of court.
