FAQS

What Should I Do If I Receive a Traffic Ticket?

If you receive a traffic ticket, you have several options. You can pay the fine, which usually means accepting the charge and the associated penalties, such as demerit points on your driving record. Alternatively, you can contest the ticket by yourself, or hire a professional to go to court for/with you. The key thing to make sure of is to find out the real background and qualifications of who will be handling your ticket. There is a reason why most of our competitors don't put their qualifications down, mislead people as to their schooling (for example: letting people believe they are a lawyer or were a cop, when they never were), and most won't even put their name on their website. You need someone who has real life experience in your corner.

Will a Traffic Ticket Affect My Insurance Rates?

Yes, a traffic ticket can impact your insurance rates. Most insurance companies will increase your premiums if you have traffic violations on your record, as they view them as indicators of risky driving behavior. The extent of the increase depends on the severity of the offense and your overall driving history. Successfully fighting a ticket can help you avoid these rate hikes.

Can I Fight a Traffic Ticket Even If I’m Guilty?

Yes, you can still fight a traffic ticket even if you believe you’re guilty of the offense. There may be legal defenses or procedural errors that can result in a reduction of charges, dismissal of the ticket, or lower fines and penalties. Consulting with a legal expert can help you determine the best approach to contesting the ticket and potentially minimizing its impact on your record and finances.
