Speeding Ticket St. Gabriel, LA

George, my next-door neighbor, just received a speeding ticket while on his way to work and he is beside himself. George is a family man with a wife and seven children. He works as a janitor at a company that does not really pay a fair wage. George is a hard worker and he is dedicated to his family and therefore this speeding ticket may cost a lot more money than he can afford. Yesterday, he came to my home almost in tears and asked me what he should do?

After I consoled him, I told them that the best advice that I could give would be for him to retain the services of a qualified traffic attorney who understands the ins and outs of how to deal with speeding tickets. Most average people do not have a clue about their rights when it comes to driving in California. A traffic lawyer, on the other hand, knows exactly what a person’s rights are when it comes to the legalities of traffic law.

A reputable lawyer will be able to fight for George’s rights and he will know exactly how to argue the case. This alone will be comforting to know that someone is in your corner to help you either dismiss the speeding ticket altogether or to reduce the fine and consequences. Without a qualified lawyer in your corner, it is almost impossible to win a case in court regarding a speeding ticket.

George, however, was concerned that the lawyer’s fees would be too expensive. After all, most people imagine paying a small fortune when they hear the word ‘lawyer’. George wondered if it would be better to simply pay the fine and move on. The truth of the matter is that a lawyer can charge exorbitant fees for certain types of legal cases but when it comes to a traffic lawyer, their rates are typically very reasonable.

Besides, to challenge a traffic ticket requires very little time in comparison to something more serious like handling a murder case. Some traffic lawyers are even able to deal with dozens of traffic and speeding ticket cases in a single day. For this reason, they keep their rates at a reasonable price. If you count the cost of increased car insurance rates, hefty fines, and negative marks on your driving record, it is easy to understand that hiring an experienced attorney is well worth it.
