How Can You Fight Your Traffic Violation Ticket in Oregon?
THE TRAFFIC VIOLATION COURT PROCESS
If you received a traffic ticket from a police officer in Oregon, you can hire an attorney to go to court for you and fight your ticket. When you are given a traffic ticket, the police officer will give you a court date.
During the first court date, you will have the option of entering either a guilty, not guilty, or no contest plea. If you enter a not guilty plea, the court will set a trial date so the police officer can present evidence to prove the alleged traffic violation.
Depending on the county, you may be able to enter into a diversion program to avoid having the traffic violation on your record. It is important to consult with an attorney to determine what is the best option when dealing with a traffic ticket.
