NEW ORLEANS TRAFFIC TICKET LAWYER

New Orleans Traffic Ticket Lawyer Explains Your Options After Getting A Ticket

After getting a traffic ticket, you assume you have to pay for it and move on with your life. While that is an option, some consequences come with doing this. For example, a paid speeding ticket increases insurance rates, and you will have a blemished driving record. Realize that you can take a different route.

What You Can Do After You Get a Traffic Ticket

Here are three options you can choose from after you get a New Orleans traffic ticket.

Option #1: Simply Pay

Paying your ticket is often the easiest option. You pay your fee online and move on with your life. However, that is not the end of the story, as you often continue to pay for the consequences. Paying the ticket means you plead guilty. You continue to pay in the form of increased insurance rates and a spotty driving record. A simple speeding ticket can even prevent you from gaining employment. Unfortunately, as a traffic ticket lawyer, I have seen clients lose jobs over paid speeding tickets. However, there is a solution that is just as easy as paying the traffic ticket that can give you a better outcome. Call or text our New Orleans law office right away for an easy resolution to your traffic tickets.

Option #2: Go to Court and Fight the Law By Yourself

The second option is to go to court and fight the traffic tickets yourself. By doing this, you may obtain a reduced charge, such as a non-moving violation. Unfortunately, going through this process alone usually costs hours of your time: time spent driving to traffic courts, trying to find parking, and waiting to see the prosecutor. The worst-case scenario is you make the time investment going to traffic courts and still have to pay the fines and court costs.

Option #3: Let a Traffic Ticket Lawyer Fight Your Battle (Recommended)

Finally, you can let an experienced New Orleans traffic ticket lawyer handle the ticket. Our one goal is to create a no-hassle process for you. With one call or text, your traffic ticket problem is solved. Let the Law Office of Heather C. Ford be your one-stop solution. Need a free consultation for a traffic citation?
