TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND CAR ACCIDENTS HELP

Traffic Accidents Overview

Nearly every Colorado driver will be in a car accident at some point in their life

In 2008, the Colorado State Patrol investigated 27,213 car accidents on Colorado roads and highways and estimate that number is only a third of total accidents for the year. With roughly 6 million accidents during the average lifetime and 5 million people (for Colorado in 2010), one could infer that nearly every Colorado driver will be in a car accident at some point in their life.

Even if the traffic accident is not your fault, you can still end up in a courtroom facing serious legal consquences. Criminal charges can cost thousands of dollars in fines and time in jail. Civil litigation for damages can approach hundreds of thousands of dollars if the other party was injured. Finally, in certain cases, such as with a DUI charge, a DMV hearing is required where your Colorado driver’s license can be revoked, taking away your freedom to drive.

With all these potential hazards and pitfalls, even if you’re not at fault for the accident, you need to have an experienced Denver Traffic Attorney before you walk into a courtroom. Ross Koplin is a professional Colorado traffic defense lawyer who can help protect your rights and minimize losses to your personal freedom. If you have been charged with a DUI, DWAI, Careless or Reckless Driving, or Vehicular Assault in a traffic accident, contact Ross today for a free consultation.

“Ross helped me remove citation from my record. I am Nebraskan who was wrongfully ticketed by Colorado State Troopers. Good job Ross, your help is appreciated…. As for Colorado State Troopers, nothing nice can be said about them, bunch of arrogant pricks ….do not pay their tickets…..hire Ross, he will fight them…”

Ross vs State Troopers

“I recently retained the services of Ross Koplin for a traffic violation in Aurora, CO. He is very professional and very knowledgeable. He kept me informed throughout the whole process and the outcome was beyond my expectations. He is worth it.”

Amazing Results

“Ross Koplin was a huge help on my traffic case. He is highly professional, kept me up to date on the case, always listened to my concerns, spent the extra time and effort in working with the DA to come to a more than reasonable conclusion and came through in helping me keep my license. What impressed me the most was that he always answered the phone – I was never sent to voice mail or had to wait for a response – something hard to find in this day and age. I would highly recommend Ross Kolpin. I feel lucky to have found him. I can’t say Thank You enough!”

I Would Highly Recommend Ross Koplin

“I hired Ross to represent me in a Displaying Fictious Plates traffic case and I am more than satisfied with the outcome he was able to provide. Ross kept me updated and in contact throughout the entire process and in the end got my case reduced down. I’m a very happy client and Ross did an AMAZING job representing me in this matter, I highly recommend him! Thanks again Ross!”

Excellent Job!!

“I could not more highly recommend Ross Koplin if you have a serious traffic matter. I was charged with 28 points of violations, including two hit and run allegations arising out of the same event. Ross represented me both at the meeting with the DPD and in court. Ross succeeded in getting all of the charges dismissed – all 28 points. He has a strong knowledge of the law and, more importantly, a very strong knowledge of the traffic/criminal process and how to maneuver through it.”

Excellent Lawyer

“I got a speeding ticket….24 mph over the speed limit. I had also gotten a ticket 2 months prior so this was not a good situation. I hired Ross because I felt the ticket was unjust and the officer said I was going faster than I actually was. I gave the paperwork to Ross and I had to do nothing but wait. He handled everything and was able to get my points drastically reduced with a minimum court fine. I hope I don’t need his services again but if I do, I know he will take care of it.”

Very Pleased
