Get the Traffic Defense You Need in Ruskin so You Can Drive Confidently Again

Adam Bantner knows it’s embarrassing; you’re on the road, driving around, and then you screw up. It could be a tiny mistake or something big. But someone will always see it, and you can be charged for it. Some common traffic violations are speeding, running red lights, fault equipment, and parking violations. If you are caught breaking traffic laws, local police will give you a ticket, and local branches of state courts then process these tickets.

A “strict-liability” offense is one in which you can be found guilty of the alleged offense without having to prove that you committed the prohibited act with criminal intent. All the authorities need to prove is that you committed a prohibited act.

Call Adam Bantner today to discuss your traffic violation, especially if you have been charged with:

• Driving on a Suspended License
• Red-Light Camera Violations
• Leaving the Scene of an Accident
• Driving Under the Influence
• Driver’s License Violations
• Driving as a Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO)
• And more!

In an effort to curb illegal drug use, sentences for possession of marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs have become increasingly harsh. If you’re facing drug charges, Attorney Adam L.

Helping Minors in Their Time of Need in Ruskin

If a minor is accused of committing a crime, he or she will most likely be tried in juvenile delinquency court. In some cases, minors are held to the same standards as adults. For example, in certain situations, a minor may be charged with a criminal offense on the same level as an adult. The Bantner Firm’s juvenile delinquency lawyers handle all kinds of cases involving underage defendants. Our attorneys can help you or your child get a positive outcome in your case.

Restitution is money that makes up for losses caused by a crime. In adult courts, only a person who has been found guilty of a crime is typically liable for restitution. In juvenile court, however, both the defendant and his parents/guardians can be ordered to pay restitution. Let Adam Bantner be your guide through the legal system. He will help you understand your restitution options so that you can avoid paying more than absolutely necessary.

In Ruskin, juvenile individuals aged 16 and under are not strictly prohibited from possessing BB guns, gas-operated guns, or electric weapons; however, it is illegal for these juveniles to use these weapons without the supervision of an adult and parental consent. If a juvenile is caught with a gun, an attorney could potentially help him or her avoid serious consequences.

We’re ready to help you and fight for the most positive outcome for your juvenile delinquency case. Contact us today for a free consultation!

Child pornography is harmful to the children who appear in it and should not be viewed intentionally by anyone. If you find yourself in possession of such material, you may be subject to criminal penalties, but it is possible for an innocent person to be accused of intentionally possessing it. There are a few possible explanations for the presence of the images: the person in the picture may be younger than they appear, someone else with access to your computer may have downloaded them, or if you purchased a used computer, it may have been a remainder of a prior users’ files.

If you’ve been charged in the Ruskin area, we can help you build a strong defense.

Probation Violations Defended by Adam Bantner

If an individual has never been convicted of a crime before, he or she may be placed on probation after being convicted of a crime by the court. Probation is a period of supervised release imposed by a court after it has found an individual guilty. During this time, he or she will have to abide by several conditions, such as reporting regularly to his or her parole officer, who can send him or her back to prison if he or she violates any of these rules.
