Traffic Violations

St. Petersburg Traffic Violations Attorney 

Police constantly patrol the busy streets and highways throughout the Tampa Bay area, and drivers sometimes get pulled over even when they don’t believe they’ve done anything wrong. At Joseph Montrone, Jr., I represent clients accused of all types of traffic offenses, from common speeding tickets to serious felonies, such as vehicular homicide. Rather than try to represent yourself, let a former prosecutor argue on your behalf. I have a strong track record of achieving positive results, including dismissals, acquittals, and favorable plea agreements. No matter the circumstances in your case, my firm is prepared to fight for your best possible outcome.

The Tampa Bay metropolitan area is the 18th largest in the United States, so traffic is a daily concern. Heavy volume on the road sometimes leads to tickets alleging the following moving violations:

  • Speeding
  • Running a red signal or a stop sign
  • Failure to yield the right of way

Young drivers are more prone to violations and accidents than experienced motorists and are more likely to engage in unlawful street racing. But anyone is subject to getting a ticket and facing serious penalties for offenses such as driving with a suspended license or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Some driving offenses are classified as felonies and misdemeanors, including: repeat DUI; DUI leading to an accident that damages property or injures a person; leaving the scene of an accident causing injury; vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide.

If you have been arrested due to a traffic violation in St. Petersburg or a surrounding area of Pinellas County, you need experienced representation. Call my firm at (727) 617-6095 for a free consultation.
