Many drivers don’t realize you can receive different speeding tickets, and the type of ticket you get will affect your fine and other penalties.
Some common types of traffic tickets include:
Speeding tickets can occur anywhere, from downtown Pointe à la Hache and busy highways to even parking lots. If you’re going over the posted speed limit, then you could be pulled over for speeding, resulting in a ticket. Around the holidays, there are usually more traffic tickets given because people are busy getting home.
Some roads and highways are busier than others in Pointe à la Hache, like Highway 39 and Highway 15.
There are three options for fighting a speeding ticket.
Many drivers opt to pay for their tickets. While this may be the easiest option, there are consequences to paying your speeding ticket—namely that you have to pay a hefty fine. The faster you are going, the more you have to pay.
Instead of paying the speeding ticket, you could go to traffic court and fight the law yourself. You may be able to reduce your charge, but at what cost? Going through this process alone means you must spend several hours in court and meeting with the prosecutor. Despite all the hours you spend fighting the ticket, you will likely have to pay a fine.
Finally, the best option would be to work with a traffic ticket attorney. When you work with a lawyer, they will handle your case, saving time and money. Let the Law Office of Heather C. Ford resolve your speeding ticket, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Here are a few legal issues our lawyers can help you navigate.
Your driving privileges could be revoked if you’ve received a speeding ticket. A traffic ticket lawyer can help you resolve your ticket so that you don’t have to pay a fine and deal with the other consequences of a speeding ticket.
Moving violations are infractions a driver commits while the vehicle is moving. This can include speeding, running a red light, or driving under the influence. A traffic attorney can help you get your ticket dismissed or the penalties reduced.
If your license has been suspended in New Orleans, you will face many harsh penalties, and your entire livelihood will be affected. A suspended license attorney can fight your charges in an attempt to get them dropped. If your charges get dropped, your license will no longer be suspended.
Traffic misdemeanors in Louisiana can include driving without a license, speeding, and running a red light. While misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, they still result in many penalties. A traffic attorney can help you fight these charges to reduce your consequences.
A DUI lawyer can help you avoid or reduce the charges against you. If you work with an attorney after getting charged with drunk driving, you can avoid jail time and get your license back sooner.
Having a criminal record can create lasting, adverse effects on your life. For example, you may have difficulty finding employment with a traffic violation on your driving record. A New Orleans expungement lawyer can help you determine if you are eligible for expungement. If you are, they will also help you with the expungement process so you can move on with your life.
Without your driver’s license, you can’t live your best life. Stuck at home with no way to get out, how will you find a way to work or pick up your kids from school? You feel confined in your house and rely on others to take you places.
You need your license back.
If your license is suspended, your best action is to contact a Pointe à la Hache suspended license attorney. An experienced lawyer will devise a strategy to get your license back so you can return to your normal life.

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.
You can certainly represent yourself in traffic court, but it’s not advisable. If you have a serious traffic infraction, are worried about the consequences, or are on the verge of losing your license, you can’t afford to throw caution to the wind in your case. An attorney understands traffic law and can help you create a strong defense strategy.
No. However, the more tickets you have, the more you risk having your license suspended. These tickets don’t begin to fall off your driving record for three to five years following the traffic stop, which means three to five years of higher insurance rates, negative impact on employment, and other consequences.
No. You are innocent until proven guilty, even in a speeding ticket case.
