A ticket in New Iberia rarely stops at the fine printed on the citation. A conviction can raise your insurance, add points to your license, and, if it slips your mind, turn into a warrant. Paying it online is the fastest way to close the case, but it is also a guilty plea, and it is usually the most expensive choice over time.
The Law Office of Heather C. Ford handles traffic and misdemeanor cases throughout Iberia Parish. In most cases we can take the citation off your hands, protect your record, and appear at New Iberia City Court for you.

Louisiana traffic cases generally run on a two appearance system. The first date is the arraignment, where you enter a plea, and the second is where the case is resolved. A new citation can take a couple of weeks to appear in the court system, so if you cannot find yours online right away, it may simply not be entered yet.
The one rule that matters most is do not miss your court date. A missed appearance can lead to a bench warrant and a suspended license, which is far more costly and stressful than the ticket itself.
New Iberia City Court lets you look up and pay citations online through its online payment portal. Paying is quick, but it counts as a conviction. If keeping the charge off your record matters, and for most drivers it does, talk to an attorney before you pay. You can also check your license status with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles through ExpressLane.
An attorney who handles Iberia Parish cases can often reduce a moving violation to a non moving offense, negotiate a dismissal, or use Louisiana articles 894 and 892 to keep the charge off your record. For most traffic and minor misdemeanor matters, we can appear for you, so hiring the firm usually means you never have to set foot in the courthouse.
The Law Office of Heather C. Ford serves drivers across New Iberia and the Acadiana corridor. Whether it is a speeding ticket, a careless operation charge, or a driving under suspension case, we can explain your options and, in most cases, take it from here.

Avoid Anxiety:Don’t Just Pay It — Pleading Guilty Can Have Lasting Implications. We Can Help.
Between myself and my family, we keep Heather busy! She is very professional and knowledgeable. I have spent a lot of money and ruined my driving record paying off speeding tickets but when I found Heather, I found that she is the best
My experience with the Law Office of Heather C. Ford was outstanding. I would recommend this team to anyone that has received a traffic ticket in the metro New Orleans area....
I found Heather online after searching for a traffic lawyer. Since I am not from the area, I was not 100% sure but went with my gut after reading the positive comments. And I was right! I am really pleased with Heather Ford's...
I was thrilled when Heather was able to get my ticket reduced to a non-moving violation and the judge waived fees. I never thought that was possible. I was certain I'd have to pay something. She's great...
Ms. Ford is all that I could ask for in an advocate.
My experience has been as pleasurable as can be expected when you need a lawyer.
