San Jose Reckless Driving Defense Attorneys

The attorneys at Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel vigorously defend clients charged with reckless driving. Reckless driving is defined in California statutes as a "willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." Reckless driving is a misdemeanor, and conviction on this charge can result in a criminal conviction, a fine, jail time, a suspended license and increased insurance rates. Our law firm works to mitigate the consequences of reckless driving charges.

To avoid consequences such as these, it is important to have an experienced defense lawyer who can force the prosecution to prove its case. For example, speeding alone is not reckless driving. The prosecution must demonstrate that the driving was willful and that it occurred on a pubic roadway. Attorneys on the other side must show that the driver knew his or her actions were potentially harmful.

Reviewing the Evidence, Building a Defense

Our attorneys review the circumstances carefully to develop a strong defense. We look for mitigating circumstances such as a family emergency. We review the arresting officer's report to ensure accuracy. We move to suppress evidence when it appears that it was collected in violation of our client's rights. We seek out alternative sentences whenever possible.
