Not all traffic violations justify hiring a criminal defense lawyer. In Maine, minor driving offenses are civil legal issues, while serious violations like driving to endanger, OUI and criminal speeding in Maine justify retaining a defense attorney in Portland or Saco to use his or her legal knowledge and relationships with local criminal courts to be your traffic ticket attorney nearby.
By way of example, with a Maine OUI arrest, that driver facing operating under the influence (OUI) charges has only 10 days from the effective date of the pending administrative license suspension to file an appeal, under Mainer’s implied consent law. If convicted, getting your license back early may mean paying for installation and monitoring of a DUI interlock, an electronic device that requires a clean breath sample before your vehicle will start.
