Traffic tickets are a nuisance and you may be tempted to simply pay the ticket and forget it. But traffic violations can have a lasting impact on your driving record and it pays to keep that record clean. Especially if you do a lot of driving in the Ozarks.
It may not seem like a big deal to pay a ticket, but keep in mind that it will remain on your driving record. If you choose to simply pay your traffic ticket, your are automatically pleading guilty.
This means your driving record will continue to show that you have previously pled guilty to a traffic offense. It will also lead to points on your driver’s license and may result in increased insurance rates. Fighting a traffic ticket, no matter the violation, allows you to resolve the issue without pleading guilty and, in many cases, without tainting your driving record.
Whether your traffic ticket was written by the Highway Patrol, Sheriff’s Department, or city police—we can handle them all.
