Traffic Law

 

A single traffic ticket can increase your insurance premiums & tarnish your driving record.

Even the most minor traffic tickets can have an impact on your driving privileges. With almost any traffic violation, you could be facing fines, rising insurance premiums, a suspended or revoked license, and even traffic school. Many of us have been driving down the road at a seemingly reasonable speed of just a few miles per hour over the speed limit before we're pulled over and issued a ticket that ends up costing $100 or more. To avoid such costly penalties and other restrictions, meet with an experienced traffic attorney. 

Traffic tickets — including moving violations, speeding tickets, and driving without insurance or with a suspended or revoked license — may appear relatively minor on the surface, but additional violations can have long-lasting effects on your freedom behind the wheel. A skilled attorney will make sure you're prepared so you can seek a successful outcome to help you retain your right to drive.

We handle all matters of traffic violations including:

  • No insurance or driving without insurance

  • Driving while suspended or revoked

  • Leaving the scene

  • License reinstatements

  • Failure to appear and warrants

  • Seat belt tickets

  • Obedience to signs

  • Traffic Lane violations

  • Failure to yield

  • Aggressive driving

  • Illegal U-Turns or One-Way/Wrong way violations

  • Commercial Drivers License (“CDL”) issues

  • Construction zone violations

  • School zone violations

  • Texting while driving

  • 5 & 10 year denials

  • License reinstatement

  • And more….

In Missouri, if you are guilty of speeding or many of the offenses above, you will incur “points” against your license.  The Missouri Department of Revenue’s provides an overview of the points system for various tickets.

In addition to points or moving violations being added to your license, failure to pay your fine in a timely manner, or failure to appear at court for traffic offenses will oftentimes result in the issuance of an arrest warrant.
