Offering traffic lawyer
Traffic clients want a quick, clear answer about their ticket and what hiring you would involve. A short intake and a plain scope help.

- Will this ticket add points?
- What happens if I just pay it?
- Do you handle commercial licenses?
- How soon do I need to decide?
How to win the job

- State whether you can appear without the client in that court
- Explain plainly what paying, contesting and asking for alternatives mean, without predicting results

- Tell the client when you will report the outcome
- Mention commercial license experience if you have it
What to put on your profile
