Local Court Rules – Why they are important

May 18, 2021 by SamasLaw

If you want the best possible outcome for your traffic or speeding ticket in King, Snohomish, or Pierce County, I suggest that you hire a metro Seattle traffic attorney who is familiar with the court’s local rules. On numerous occasions, I have seen motorists who have chosen to represent themselves lose their hearings, incur greater fines, or be required to come back to court simply because they are not familiar with the intricacies of the court’s rules and procedures.

For example, recently in Marysville Municipal Court, I watched a motorist represent herself at her speeding hearing. She requested the presence of an electronic speed measuring device expert (who did show up at the hearing). The motorist presented various defenses that generally do not work (and the judge has probably heard dozens of times from people who do not hire an attorney.) After the judge ruled against her, she was surprised to learn that the court had a local rule that required motorists who do not win their traffic cases to also pay the fee charged by the expert.

If the motorist had researched the local rules carefully, she would not have been in this situation. Of course, she could also have hired an experienced metro Seattle/ Snohomish county traffic and speeding ticket attorney in the first place, who would have a much better chance of getting her charge reduced or dismissed outright to keep her driving record clean.

As an experienced traffic ticket attorney, my client’s metro Seattle traffic tickets often are dismissed. If your traffic ticket is not dismissed, the Law Offices of Dan Samas can often arrange for a reduction to a non-moving violation so the ticket will not increase your insurance rates.

Dan Samas has been an attorney since 1995 and has represented thousands of motorists in traffic ticket cases. He has helped Metro Seattle drivers avoid auto insurance premium increases, missed work, and travel expenses since they don’t have to go to court themselves.

Dan is super professional. He answered all my questions and gave me the information I didn't think of asking. He was very responsive in replying my email or calling me back. He was diligent in keeping me posted on the whole process. He attended the hearing on my behalf and I didn't even need to show up. At the end, he had my ticket dismissed out right. You can't go wrong with Dan Samas.

Dan is a thorough professional. I got into an accident in I-90 on a Friday and was charged with a traffic ticket for driving at more than safe speeds (even though it was well below speed limit). It felt as if the cop was required to provide a ticket because of the incident. Regardless, I call up Dan on a Friday Afternoon and Dan was really helpful educating on different possible outcomes, and how to be better prepared. Dan communicated clearly over email on next steps and what is needed from me. He is the best attorney I could have wished for; especially since he took care of the case and ensured there is no further hassles of appearing in court. Overall working with Dan - greatly reduced the stress and anxiety associated with traffic tickets and legal proceedings. I would highly recommend him to anyone in my situation.
