Traffic Ticket Attorney?

[trysha.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

I got a traffic ticket in the mail from the Somerville Police that I should obviously fight.
(this is not a parking ticket)

Does anyone have any suggestions for traffic attorneys used to fighting somerville.

EDIT: I see that people have contested tickets on their own with mixed success, so I'm seeking an attorney.

So the registered owner, who was not necessarily the one driving, is responsible for the fine?

Does the registered owner's insurance SDIP step also get the surcharge?

Yes to both. The registered owner is responsible to have their car registered and inspected.

Does that mean this procedure of mailing a ticket can't be used for violations like running red lights and speeding, since the registered owner could get penalized for something they weren't responsible for?

Each situation is unique and it would depend on the circumstances. That is one reason there is an appeal process in place. If I received a citation in the mail for running a red light or speeding and I was not driving car registered to me, I would appeal.
