1. Not taking the matter seriously. Realize that your future depends on how seriously you take the situation.

2. Not hiring an attorney. The law is complicated. You need someone who knows your rights and can fight for them.

3. Hiring an attorney based on the amount of the fee alone. The State has deep pockets when it goes after you. You need to hire an attorney who will put time and effort into pleading your case.

4. Not complying with driver’s license laws. You could lose your right to drive.

5. Driving after your license has been revoked. Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!

6. Not taking full advantage of your constitutional rights.

7. Taking the District Attorney’s first offer. The first offer is not a bargain; it’s just an effort to push your case off his plate with the least amount of work. You don’t give the judge a chance to rule on constitutional challenges.

8. Failing to appear in Court. The Court will issue a bench warrant for your arrest and revoke any bond. The next time you are stopped for a traffic infraction, you will be spending some time in jail and posting a bond for your future appearances.

9. Talking to anyone but an attorney about your case. Anything you say to anyone else can be used against you.

10. Thinking that talking to numerous attorneys will help you handle it on your own. You need one person to stand next to you. Don’t stand alone and rely on what a number of people have told you without knowing all of the facts.
