Jefferson Parish Speeding Ticket Lawyer & Court Guide
Jefferson’s First Parish Court serves the East Bank from Metairie, while Second Parish Court serves the West Bank and Grand Isle. Municipal courts, including those addressed in the Kenner, Gretna and Westwego guides, require their own checks. The parish also contains the 24th Judicial District. Those separate court names matter more than a general New Orleans-area label.
Court and location at a glance
- Parish seat: Gretna.
- District-court reference: 24th Judicial District Court.
- Use the court on the citation: a city, mayor’s, parish or district court may have different procedures. The nearest city and the issuing agency alone do not always identify the correct court.
What matters for a ticket in Jefferson Parish
The Parish Courts explain that eligible online traffic payment in place of appearing records a guilty plea to the listed offenses. Review an amendment option before taking that step when possible. Jefferson and Orleans are separate parishes with different courts; an Orleans citation should not be treated as a Jefferson case.

Have the citation reviewed before choosing a resolution
Send a clear ticket photo and every later notice. Tell us the required date, license state, whether you hold a CDL, and whether you have already paid or appeared. We identify the court and charge, assess an appropriate non-moving amendment or other supported resolution, and explain our work and fee before representation is confirmed. Contacting us alone does not extend a deadline.
Our speeding-ticket fee promise: If we accept your speeding-ticket case and obtain neither a non-moving amendment nor a dismissal, we refund your full attorney’s fee. Court fines and costs are separate. Read what our fee-refund promise covers.
