Traffic Violation Attorneys Serving Boise and Meridian, Idaho

A traffic ticket may seem like a minor inconvenience, but in many cases, the consequences extend far beyond a simple fine. At Shep Law Group, we help individuals throughout Boise, Meridian, Ada County, and Canyon County protect their driving records, minimize penalties, and avoid the lasting impacts that traffic violations can have on their lives. Whether you’re facing a speeding ticket, reckless driving charge, or something more serious, our team is here to stand up for your rights and work toward the best possible outcome.

A traffic violation can result in more than just points on your license—it can lead to increased insurance premiums, license suspension, job-related consequences, and even jail time depending on the nature of the offense. That’s why it’s important not to ignore your ticket or simply plead guilty without first understanding your legal options.

Types of Traffic Violations We Handle

At Shep Law Group, we handle a wide range of traffic offenses, from routine citations to serious criminal traffic violations. Some of the most common cases we defend include:

– Speeding tickets
– Reckless driving
– Careless or inattentive driving
– Driving without a valid license
– Driving with a suspended or revoked license
– Failure to yield or obey traffic signs/signals
– Hit and run (leaving the scene of an accident)
– Improper lane changes or passing
– Following too closely
– Driving without insurance
– Commercial driver (CDL) traffic violations

We understand the laws governing Idaho’s roads and the local court systems that enforce them. Whether you received a citation during a routine stop or you’re being charged with a more serious traffic crime, we’ll review your case thoroughly and build a defense aimed at protecting your record and minimizing penalties.

Penalties for Traffic Violations in Idaho

The consequences for a traffic violation vary widely depending on the severity of the offense, your driving history, and other factors. Even a first-time infraction can carry serious penalties, including:

– Fines
– Court costs
– Points on your driving record
– Driver’s license suspension or revocation
– Mandatory traffic school
– Increased insurance premiums
– Jail time for certain criminal traffic offenses

Some offenses, such as reckless driving or driving on a suspended license, are considered misdemeanors and may result in a permanent criminal record. For commercial drivers, the stakes are even higher, as any violation can threaten your livelihood and disqualify you from driving professionally.

Why You Should Fight Your Ticket

Many people assume that traffic tickets are not worth fighting. But the truth is, accepting a violation without a legal defense can have long-term financial and legal consequences. Accumulating too many points on your license can lead to suspension, and certain convictions may be reported to your insurance company, driving up your premiums for years.

By hiring a skilled traffic defense attorney, you give yourself the best chance to:

– Avoid points on your driving record
– Reduce or dismiss the ticket
– Negotiate lower fines
– Keep your insurance rates from increasing
– Prevent license suspension or revocation
– Maintain a clean record for employment or CDL purposes

We’ll examine the evidence, question the procedures used during the stop, and explore every available option to help you avoid unnecessary penalties.

Experienced Representation for Commercial Drivers

If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), a traffic violation can threaten your career. Even a single infraction—whether on or off the job—can result in disqualification from commercial driving. We represent CDL holders in both standard traffic matters and more serious offenses, and we understand how to protect your livelihood.

We’ll advocate for reduced charges, fight to keep the violation off your record, and ensure that your side of the story is heard in court.
