Defending You Is My Top Priority

After examining your case, I will determine what the potential options are and will always discuss what I think is in your best interest.
One area I have a lot of experience in is dealing with violations due to Scott’s law. This law has harsh penalties for drivers who approach a police or emergency vehicle in the wrong way. You must proceed with caution and yield to the right of way by making a full lane change. If a lane change isn’t possible, you must reduce your speed and leave a safe distance until you are past the other vehicle. Unfortunately, police officers are using this violation improperly as a basis for a traffic stop. I can contest the validity of these stops and help you fight back.
