What happens if I just pay my ticket?

Paying your ticket means pleading guilty. That means:

• Points on your license

• Insurance rate increases

• CDL disqualification (in some cases)

• A conviction on your record for 3–5 years

Will my insruance go up? 

Yes—most carriers raise your premium after a traffic conviction. Some drivers report annual increases of $200–$600 after just one violation.

What are the most common traffic tickets in Missouri?

We frequently handle:

• Speeding (MO-291, I-49, Route 58)

• No insurance

• Expired registration

• Red light and stop sign violations

• CDL/commercial driver offenses

• Careless driving

• Driving while suspended

Missouri uses a point system. Too many = suspension.

How many points will I get?

Too many points lead to license suspension. 8 points in 18 months = a 30-day suspension.

Can a lawyer really help?

Yes. A traffic lawyer can often:

• Keep points off your license

• Negotiate an amendment to a non-moving violation

• Handle everything without you going to court

• Save you money on insurance and fines

Do I have to go to court?

Not usually. If your ticket is in a municipal court like Raymore, Lake Winnebago, or Harrisonville, we can appear on your behalf and handle the entire process remotely.

Can I fight a speeding ticket?

Yes—and you should. We can often:

• Keep your driving record clean

• Avoid the fine and the points

• Prevent insurance hikes

• Resolve it 100% online
