There’s a vast distinction between filing paperwork and solving legal issues. A traffic ticket can be recorded in a driving record. Even after the initial offense suspension of your license, it can have an impact on your job. Even a rescinded criminal case can be a source of record. The delay of a last will and testament can also leave a family with ambiguous instructions at a point when they’re needed the most. For those living in El Paso, a little lawful housekeeping can reveal problems that remain unsolved before they interfere with driving, work, employment opportunities, or family plans.

Beware of Traffic Tickets that go beyond the Fine
Many drivers are aware of the dollar amount since it is immediately visible on a notice. It is essential to inquire about what happens after the fine has been paid. In Texas the payment of an traffic ticket is usually similar to accepting a conviction. It is important to think about the effect on your driving record before you pick the fastest payment option.
Traffic ticket lawyers can look at more than just the ticket itself. Attorneys can look over the accused violation and deadlines, driving record as well as the defenses available and alternative options to a conviction. Alternatives could include dismissal or delayed disposition based on the circumstances and evidence.
Attorney Robert Navar has spent years representing El Paso County motorists in traffic and warrant cases as well as cases that can often be handled without the driver having to attend court.
Stop a suspension of your license from dictating your schedule
Texas isn’t the kind of place in which you’ll lose your driving privileges, particularly when your business relies on transportation. Imagine an electrician who travels across the state on a daily basis, or a working parent who gets up after dropping off the kids at school. Taking public transportation or getting rides from friends is not an option that will last long.
For qualifying drivers, an occupational license may provide limited legal driving privileges during a suspension. The license is usually linked to essential functions, such as school, employment or household duties that are necessary as well as certain restrictions. Driving privileges are only limited. Knowing the rules is just as important as obtaining the license.
Learn What happened to the documents following the trial?
Imagine that someone was arrested just a few years ago. The charge was dropped and they moved on. At the time of an employment screening an information relating to that case will be revealed. That surprises many people because a favorable outcome and removal of the record that was underlying are legal issues that have distinct answers.
A lawyer who handles criminal expungement will assess whether an arrest case qualifies for expunction under Texas law. It’s contingent on the specific circumstances. If expunction is possible, taking advantage of it could be especially relevant for anyone worried about the possibility of a record appearing in future background checks.
Question Leaves Instructions
Some legal disputes are not resolved. Others has a courtroom. Many begin at home.
Think about a couple who owns a home and two children. It also has bank and retirement accounts, but has not written a will. If one of the spouses suddenly dies and leaves a family behind, they could be faced with important questions during an emotionally stressful moment.
The process of planning for wills and estates allows individuals to make decisions while being able make them without stress. Wills can provide guidelines regarding property and define who is the one to oversee the estate. Additional documents related to estate planning could be required based on circumstances.
The value of the estate cannot be measured only by the size of the estate. The clarity of the instructions is important just as much to a family with ordinary assets like they would be to someone with a large fortune.
Close the file if it is the right reason
Attorney Robert Navar’s El Paso practice addresses traffic summonses and warrants as well as driver’s license issues, qualifying criminal expunctions and estate planning. While these areas may appear unrelated, each can involve the same question is: Is the case concluded?
The knowledge of that answer could be more valuable than assuming that it’s. Even a criminal case that has been dismissed, unsigned estate plan, or a citation for a payment can cause lasting damage to your life. Reviewing the legal status is a good way to determine what is still in need of attention and what can finally be put to rest.
