Will a ticket affect my insurance?

Traffic violations add points to your driver’s license. They are reported on your driving record and this can affect your insurance premiums. Younger drivers who pay a ticket may experience the worst increases in insurance rates. No matter your age, paying a ticket can result in a cost of hundreds or even thousands of dollars to you over the next few years. Call us today and we’ll work to resolve your traffic ticket and keep your insurance company from ever seeing it.

Will I receive points on my driver’s license?

Paying a ticket is equivalent to pleading guilty. This will result in points being added to your license. The number of points is different for each offense and a speeding ticket will result in 2-3 points, while a DWI will result in 8 points. Your license can be suspended for 30-90 days if you receive 8 or more points in 18 months. Accumulating 12 points in 12 months will result in having your license revoked for a year.

How can a lawyer help?

The legal system can be confusing and difficult to navigate so having a professional to guide you makes a big difference. When you hire one of our experienced traffic ticket attorneys, we will negotiate on your behalf for a favorable outcome. This means you will see a significant reduction in any penalties related to your violation. In many cases, we can have a charge amended to a lesser offense or work out other solutions that will keep your record clean.

Can you fix my warrant?

If you’ve missed court and have been issued a warrant, take immediate action. No one wants to go to jail over a traffic ticket. You can contact us and in most cases we can have your warrant recalled within 24 hours. You may need to make an appearance in court, but this will depend on the judge and every judge handles warrants differently. That’s why it’s important that you get help from an attorney with experience in the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued.

What if I have a commercial license?

If you rely on a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), even one traffic ticket can be disastrous. Commercial truck drivers are held to a higher standard and are not eligible for probation. Often, a traffic violation can disqualify you completely from commercial driving privileges. Furthermore, if you pay a ticket, you may face increased insurance rates, a suspended license, or termination of employment. If you have a CDL contact us before paying any ticket.

What cases do you handle?

Our team represents clients who have received traffic tickets for violations ranging from speeding and failure to yield to DWI’s, accidents, and CNI’s. We can help you with license suspensions, citations for driving with a suspended license, and more. Keep in mind that Missouri’s driving statutes change annually and many of them can be difficult to interpret. Contact us for help navigating the traffic ticket court systems in Southwest Missouri and keep your driving record intact.

Why should I fight my ticket?

You don’t have to have a reason to fight your ticket. It’s your right to make the prosecutor prove their charges, even if you feel ‘guilty’ of the offense. Most traffic tickets can be negotiated without resorting to a trial. Be sure to seek professional advice before pleading guilty.

What’s the process?

When you hire Missouri Ticket Solutions Solutions, we will take over immediately. Not only will we respond to the court assigned to your ticket, but we will handle all future correspondence with the court through our office. Next, we’ll reach out to the prosecuting attorney to start working on a solution. After we’ve reached a tentative agreement with the prosecutor, we will get in touch with you to discuss how to proceed. Resolving your ticket at this point is often as simple as signing a document and paying an invoice for court costs and fines.

This means you don’t have to worry about taking time off from work or juggling your busy schedule to make it to court. If you do need to show up for court, we will make sure you are prepared and accompanied by one of our attorneys. Contact us today or submit your ticket to get started.
