How Does Racine Ticket Work?

Our attorneys are very experienced in Wisconsin traffic-ticket law. We will make all appearances in court for you. After hiring us, our attorney will go to court and enter a plea of “not guilty” on your behalf on or around your first appearance date. At that time we will request that the court set a trial date sometime in the future. We will then show up on the trial date and fight your ticket.

Does the firm handle only traffic tickets?
Traffic defense is our core practice, but our parent firm Cafferty & Scheidegger, S.C. handles the full range of Wisconsin criminal matters. Misdemeanors, felonies, OWI (at racineowi.com), and federal cases. Clients whose tickets reveal a more serious underlying issue are referred in-house at no added cost.
What is the Racine Ticket approach to traffic defense?
We review the citation, the officer's probable-cause basis, radar/LIDAR calibration records, and any video evidence, then negotiate with the prosecuting municipality to reduce the offense to a lower-point or non-moving violation, or to secure outright dismissal. The goal is keeping points off the driver record so insurance carriers never see a conviction at renewal.
