Continue reading this guide to learn why you should stop paying your speeding tickets:

Hi, my name is Heather Ford, and I am a traffic attorney out of the New Orleans area, also known as the Traffic Ticket Lady. Before I get started, if you ever have any questions about tickets or suspended licenses, you can shoot me a text at (504) 535-LADY or at (504) 535-5239.

So, I just wanted to make a quick message encouraging you guys to stop paying speeding tickets. I know it seems like it’s not a big deal. It’s just a speeding ticket: who cares, right?

But it is the type of thing that can really make your insurance go up. It can also affect future employment, and by the time you realize that it is a problem, resolving your speeding ticket can be really hard to fix.

So again, I’m not saying that you need an attorney. Instead, go to court and talk to the prosecutor if you were driving like 15 to 16 miles over or less. You can probably handle a less severe ticket like that by yourself. However, if you ticket was for 20 and over, you might need an attorney to help you.

Regardless, there are consequences of simply paying your speeding ticket, so consider handling it yourself. If you have any questions shoot me a text at (504) 535-LADY. I’m happy to help!
