Frequently asked questions
Is a Maryland red light camera ticket the same as an officer's citation?
No — camera tickets are civil penalties with no points and no insurance reporting, while an officer-issued citation is a moving violation carrying two points (three with an accident). Only the officer-issued kind is worth a court fight, and it usually is worth one.
Can a lawyer keep a Maryland stop sign ticket off my record?
Often — through an outright acquittal if the state's proof is thin, or probation before judgment, which avoids both the conviction and the points. Attorneys in our network try these cases in District Courts across Maryland.
What happens if the officer doesn't appear at my trial?
In Maryland District Court traffic trials, the officer is the state's witness — if the officer fails to appear, dismissal is the usual result. Requesting a trial instead of paying preserves that possibility.
Is it really worth fighting a two-point ticket?
Two points plus a three-year insurance surcharge against a modest legal fee — the math typically favors fighting, and the PBJ option means Maryland drivers have a realistic path to zero points even without an acquittal.
