You got a speeding ticket — should you just pay it, or is it worth fighting with a lawyer’s help? In many cases, hiring a traffic attorney can save you money and protect your record.
Why People Pay Without Question:
- Don’t want the hassle
- Think lawyers are expensive
- Don’t realize long-term consequences
What a Lawyer Can Do:
- Negotiate reduced charges
- Help avoid points on your license
- Prevent license suspension
- Appear in court on your behalf
- Get tickets dismissed (technicalities or errors)
When a Lawyer Is Especially Useful:
- Speeding in a school or construction zone
- Multiple tickets in a short time
- CDL (commercial license) holders
- Facing license suspension
Cost vs. Benefit:
- Lawyers may charge $100–$500
- But avoiding insurance increases ($1,000+ over 3 years) is often worth it
Tip: Many offer free consultations — so it doesn’t hurt to ask.
