Specific Issues For Accident Cases: If you got a ticket because you were involved in
an accident another important issue our office can help you with is to seal the testimony
or plea of your case by motioning the court for a civil reservation. If granted by the
court this will not allow your plea to be used against you in a possible civil suit that the
other driver may bring against for any injuries or property damage. Although this will
not stop a later civil suit against you for the other person injury or property damage due
to your careless driving, it can make that case much harder and lead to a lower
settlement of the case. Thus, saving both you and your insurance company money.
