Gregory Caplan has handled hundreds of Traffic Violation cases, as a deputy district attorney and city prosecutor, as well as a defense lawyer.

Because of the intricate issues which arise in these cases, it is important to hire an effective defense attorney to handle your Vehicle Code violation.

A typical Vehicle Code violation involves the failure to comply with certain provisions of the California Vehicle Code.  Every day, people are charged with Vehicle Code violations and traffic infractions in California.  Even though Vehicle Code violations, such as speeding, seem common and harmless, they can quickly lead to misdemeanor or felony charges if there are aggravating circumstances present.  When a person is convicted of a serious Vehicle Code or traffic violation, he/she can be sentenced with imprisonment, large fines, and driver’s license suspension.  For this reason, if you are charged with this type of offense, it is always in your best interest to speak with a skilled criminal defense attorney.
