If you have received a Missouri traffic ticket, you may choose to fight your charges using a Missouri traffic lawyer. Fighting your traffic ticket can be beneficial to you, whether it is your first ticket or your fifth.
Fighting your traffic ticket can lead to reduced charges, usually involving your charges being reduced to a non-moving violation which reduces or eliminates points on your driver’s license which saves you from costly auto insurance increases, and keeps you from having your license suspended.
There are two ways traffic law firms in Missouri can fight your traffic ticket. These are:
- Traffic Ticket Amendments: This involves your traffic ticket lawyer negotiating a plea agreement with the prosecuting attorney to reduce your charges to non-moving violations to avoid points on your license. With this option you fine will usually be higher, but you do not receive points on your license which reduces the risk of license suspension and keeps your insurance costs from rising which can save you money in the long run. This process is also referred to as fixing your traffic ticket. In most cases you will not have to attend court, your traffic ticket lawyer will handle everything for you.
- Trial for Traffic Tickets: This option is more expensive as far as legal fees are concerned, but if you are not guilty of the charges you are facing or your rights were violated than this option may be for you. You should contact our attorneys at (314) 644-7102 to see if this option is good for you.
