- SNOHOMISH COUNTY SPEEDING AND TRAFFIC TICKET LAWYER:
Did you know, however, that many speeding and traffic tickets are defensible if timely and properly challenged? It's true. But only if you know how to make the right motions and properly argue for a dismissal.
Astonishingly, nearly four out five people who are issued a speeding or traffic infraction in Snohomish County never bother to challenge the validity of their ticket. In order for a speeding or traffic infraction to be found committed the state is actually required to prove a number of specific statutory and foundational elements. Often, the state is unable to meet its burden.

What is a SR-22?
Simply, it is a form which must be filed by the insurance company to the state (Department of Motor Vehicles) stating that auto liability insurance is in effect for a particular individual. An SR-22 is an official documentation required to redeem a suspended drivers license and get your car registered at the local DOL (DMV). A SR22 Filing is a form issued by an insurance company which removes a suspension order placed by the DMV's office on your driving privilege. The most common reason for an SR22 filing is when you are arrested for Driving Under Intoxication (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). The filing provides a guarantee to the state that an insurance company has issued at least minimum liability coverage for the person making that filing and that the insurance company will notify the DMV should the insurance ever lapse for any reason. Typically it is required when insurance is provided to an individual who was in an accident or was convicted of a traffic offense and was unable to show financial responsibility OR if a judge has ordered an SR22 for other reasons (in some states). SR-22 isn't a type of insurance, but rather proof that you have certain types of insurance (based upon the financial responsbility laws of your state).
