CDL Drivers - Aggressive Defense of Speeding Tickets and Other Traffic Violations

If you are charged with a traffic violation on the roadways in Davidson County and Middle Tennessee, you don't have to simply plead guilty, pay a fine and add points to your driving record. You can fight a speeding ticket or a citation for reckless driving. You want an assertive lawyer, one who will make certain all procedures were properly followed and constitutional your rights were protected.

Attorney Egan understands that with the new federal laws, drivers with a CDL need to do everything possible to avoid a moving violation. Sometimes a moving violation can cost a CDL driver his or her job. Attorney Egan is keenly aware of what is at stake, and he will exhaust every defense to beat laser, radar, pacing, and GPS stops.
