Your driving record is extremely valuable
Even though most people don’t realize it. The premium you pay for your insurance is based on multiple variables. By far the most important variable is your driving record. Any conviction, even for minor infractions, can show up on your driving record.
Your insurance company may raise your rates. They can stay elevated for 3-5 (sometimes 7!) years. Over this time, you may literally pay thousands in additional premiums. If I am successful in reducing or eliminating your Bristol Virginia citation, if dismissed your moving violation will not appear on your record that insurance companies will review. This is a simple decision based on plain economics.
To verify this, you can call your insurance agent to ask them what effect a conviction will have on your premium. The Law Offices of J. Douglas Fleenor can potentially save you thousands.
