Traffic Tickets

• Driving with a suspended or revoked license
• Hit-and-run
• License reinstatement violations
• Failure to appear in court and warrants
• Failure to obey traffic signs
• Lane violations
• Failure to yield
• Illegal U-turns and one-way/wrong-way violations
• Commercial driver’s license (CDL) violations
• Construction zone violations
• School zone violations
• Distracted driving (e.g., texting while driving)

Traffic violations are a serious matter in Missouri, and can result in significant fines, increased car insurance rates, and even jail time and a permanent criminal record in certain cases.

If you are charged with a moving violation, you will accumulate points on your driving record. When you accumulate too many points, your driver’s license may be suspended or revoked.

A skilled traffic attorney can help you have your traffic ticket amended from a point-incurring moving violation to a non-moving violation, which will not add points to your record or threaten your driving privilege.

Many traffic cases can be resolved through plea bargaining and negotiation. However, in some cases, going to trial may be the best option. A traffic attorney will thoroughly investigate your case and build a strong defense for you.

Here are some specific steps you can take if you are charged with a traffic violation in Missouri:

1. Hire an experienced traffic attorney. A traffic attorney can help you understand the charges against you, develop a defense strategy, and represent you in court.
2. Gather evidence. If possible, collect any evidence that may support your defense, such as eyewitness statements, photographs, or dashcam footage.
3. Attend your court date. It is important to appear in court on the date of your hearing, even if you have already hired an attorney.
4. Be honest with your attorney. Tell your attorney everything about the traffic violation, even if it is not in your favor. Your attorney will need all of the information available to build a strong defense.

If you are convicted of a traffic violation, you may be able to reduce the impact on your driving record and insurance rates by completing a defensive driving course.

By following these steps, you can increase your chances of a favorable outcome in your traffic violation case.
