Los Angeles Reckless Driving Defense Attorney

Aggressive Defense Against Reckless Driving Charges

Reckless driving is driving with willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others.  The jail sentence is from 5 to 90 days with a fine of $145 to $1,000. Where the driver causes injury to another the jail term is from 30 days to 6 months with a fine of $220 to $1,000.  Conviction adds points to the person's driving record and heavily affects insurance rates. Given the seriousness of the penalties, it is strongly recommended that persons charged contact a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer.  A strong and effective lawyer can greatly improve one's chances of a favorable result from the charges.
