Our Louisiana traffic ticket attorneys usually work to have speeding charges amended to non-moving violations. We seek to keep the ticket off your driving record and protect your insurance. You still pay the fine and any court costs, in addition to our legal fee. Send us the citation so we can review it before the deadline.
Let us handle your Louisiana traffic ticket. Send us your ticket for review. Our attorneys assess the charge, explain the available options, and handle the court work covered by your representation. We work to protect your driving record and save you time.
Amendment, dismissal and a driving course are different
| Possible resolution | What it means |
|---|---|
| Non-moving amendment | The charge is changed to an appropriate non-moving violation, subject to approval. The fine and court costs still have to be paid. This is the usual outcome we seek. |
| Dismissal | The charge is dismissed. This is uncommon in our practice and should not be promised from a minor ticket error or an assumed officer absence. |
| Approved course or program | A court-approved procedure may include eligibility, payment and completion conditions. Enrollment by itself does not resolve the ticket. |
Compare the fine, court costs and legal fee and ask how the final disposition affects your driving record. Keep following the court’s deadline while an amendment is being considered.
We investigate the charge and current status
Our review identifies the charged law, responsible court, deadlines, and any existing plea or judgment. We obtain the relevant case information rather than treating an old ticket or empty online search as proof of dismissal.
We seek an appropriate non-moving amendment
We review the charge, evidence, driving history, and court requirements, then negotiate with the prosecutor. The usual resolution we pursue changes the moving violation to an appropriate non-moving charge. We explain the proposed amendment and its effect on your driving record.
We identify any additional court requirements
A course or diversion program is relevant only when it is part of an available, approved resolution. Article 892.1 sets out specific course procedures. Our team explains any eligibility requirements and personal obligations that apply to your matter.
We explain what the court requires
When a course or program is part of the resolution, our team explains the approved conditions and deadlines and handles the legal work within representation. The client must still complete any required course or personal obligation. Enrollment alone does not extend a court date or dismiss the case.
With the non-moving amendment we ordinarily pursue, you still pay the fine and any court costs. Our legal fee is separate. If an approved program is involved, we also explain its cost and conditions.
We follow through on the court’s result
We review the final disposition and explain related reporting or licensing issues within the representation. The final charge and court record establish what happened; a payment receipt alone does not explain whether the original charge was amended.
A defense should rest on evidence
Dismissal is uncommon in our practice. If the evidence supports a legal defense, we assess it, but an officer’s absence or minor citation error does not guarantee that the case will end. Our advice focuses on the facts and the available resolution.
