Should I just pay my East Berlin traffic ticket? Paying is an admission of guilt. Points attach immediately and your insurance carrier is notified at your next renewal. A free consultation costs nothing and a point reduction saves you far more than our fee in annual insurance premiums. Where does my East Berlin traffic citation get heard? Your initial hearing is before District 51-3-04 (Judge Beauchat). If you appeal, the case goes to the Adams County Courthouse at 111 Baltimore St Gettysburg PA 17325 for a fresh de novo hearing. Can I appeal if the MDJ rules against me in East Berlin? Yes. Pennsylvania's summary appeal process gives you a de novo hearing at the Adams County Court of Common Pleas — the MDJ decision does not bind the appeal court. What happens to my CDL if I get a traffic citation in East Berlin? CDL holders face federal disqualification consequences under 49 C.F.R. §383.51 separate from the state point system. Two serious violations within three years trigger a 60-day CDL disqualification. Call us immediately. How much does a traffic ticket attorney cost in East Berlin?

The sooner we talk, the more we can do. Every traffic citation has a deadline. Call directly and speak with Attorney Quinlan — not an intake desk.
