Defending Roanoke County, Virginia Traffic Tickets

If you have been ticketed or arrested for Reckless Driving in Roanoke County, you need a good traffic lawyer. If you have received a ticket for a lesser traffic offense, retaining a Roanoke County traffic attorney can also be very helpful to you. Roanoke County can be one of the most reasonable jurisdictions in Virginia when dealing with Reckless Driving, Speeding, and other traffic violations.

Roanoke County Highways and Law Enforcement

Roanoke County is a large county located (map) along the Interstate 81 , Interstate 581, and Route 220.  Many travelers to Roanoke and Salem, and those passing through the Commonwealth of Virginia receive tickets in Roanoke County.  On I-81 in Roanoke County, Reckless Driving, Speeding, and other traffic tickets are primarily issued by the Virginia State Police. The Virginia State Police also patrol major highways in Roanoke County, such as Route 220. The Roanoke County Police Department also patrols Roanoke County highways, and is the primary law enforcement agency patrolling and issuing tickets along secondary highways and roadways in Roanoke County.

Roanoke County Traffic Courts

In Virginia, the vast majority of traffic cases are heard in General District Courts.  Roanoke County traffic tickets are tried in Roanoke County General District Court, located in the City of Salem, Virginia because Salem is the county seat for Roanoke County.  Roanoke County traffic lawyer Harry F. Bosen, Jr. has been effectively defending speeding tickets in Roanoke County General District Court since 1975.  Roanoke County General District Court is across the street from the law firm’s offices.

Mr. Bosen regularly practices traffic law before all of the sitting judges of Roanoke County General District Court, including the Honorable Jacqueline F. Ward Talevi, Presiding Judge, Chief Judge; the Honorable Vincent A. Lilley, Presiding Judge; the Honorable Francis W. Burkart III, and the Honorable J. Christopher Clemens.  Practicing before this Court on a daily basis, Roanoke County traffic attorneys Bosen and Pollard are very familiar with the sentiments of the judges on certain legal issues and understand how to effectively defend traffic tickets and other traffic offenses there.

Roanoke county traffic lawyer Harry F. Bosen, Jr. also defends traffic cases in Roanoke County Circuit Court, which is also across the street from the law firm’s offices.  A Roanoke County traffic case will not typically reach the Circuit Court level unless the case is appealed from Roanoke Count General District Court.  Mr. Bosen typically only handles such an appeal if the client retained another attorney for the original trial, represented themselves (pro se), or did not appear on their court date, and Mr. Bosen believes an appeal would be effective.

Although appealed traffic cases heard in Roanoke County Circuit Court are relatively rare, Roanoke County traffic lawyer Harry F. Bosen, Jr. also regularly practices before all of the sitting judges of Roanoke County Circuit Court, including the Honorable James R. Swanson, Presiding Judge, Chief Judge; the Honorable Charles N. Dorsey, Presiding Judge; the Honorable William D. Broadhurst; and the Honorable David B. Carson.  Roanoke County attorneys Bosen and Pollard typically practice before this Court on other types of cases, such as serious crimes, personal injury and civil litigation, and will and estate matters.  Practicing before this Court on other types of cases enables Mr. Bosen to also be familiar with the sentiments of the Circuit Court judges on certain legal issues and understand how to present a defense on a traffic case there.

In addition to being familiar with the General District and Circuit Court judges, Roanoke County traffic lawyer Harry F. Bosen, Jr. is familiar with the Commonwealth’s Attorneys who prosecute the traffic cases in Roanoke County.  During over 40 years of experience working with the Roanoke County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, Mr. Bosen has earned a reputation for being fair with law enforcement and honest with the court.  In many Roanoke County traffic cases, Mr. Bosen can work with the prosecutor assigned to the case and the Roanoke County Police Officer or Virginia State Trooper who issued the ticket to negotiate a favorable outcome before court.

Dedicated. Tenacious. Honest.
