LaPlace ticket collection and court records are separate
The St. John Sheriff’s directory lists Tickets, Bonds and Fines at (985) 359-8783 or (985) 359-8712, with the administrative office at 1801 West Airline Highway. The Clerk’s East Bank office is separately listed at 1811 West Airline Highway, (985) 652-8041. These neighboring addresses perform different functions; neither establishes the hearing location for every LaPlace-area ticket.
Do not treat the older fine table as a current quote
The Sheriff’s traffic-fines page still labels its table effective August 1, 2014. Confirm the balance for the actual citation instead of using an old figure to budget the case. A court fine, processing charge and attorney fee are separate items.
Confirm the hearing site on the current notice
The 40th Judicial District Court warns that court is not being held at the former Arcuri Center in LaPlace. Send your citation and every later setting notice so our review can address the correct location and deadline. A collection-office visit or payment search should not be treated as a court appearance.
Where do I start for a LaPlace ticket?
Use the court and issuing agency on the citation. St. John the Baptist Parish provides a traffic-payment route, but payment status and the final charge should be understood before using it.
Before using an online payment service
Match the court, citation number and person before paying. Ask what violation payment will resolve and whether an appearance or other condition remains. A missing online result does not extend the response date. If you already paid or entered a plea, include that information in the review.
What our traffic representation seeks
For an eligible ticket, our usual objective is an amendment to a non-moving violation to help protect your driving record and insurance. Dismissal is uncommon in our practice. The fine and court costs remain payable, and our legal fee is separate. The result requires approval and depends on the charge and driver.
Send the complete ticket for review
- Provide a readable photo of the entire citation and any later notice.
- Tell us about an accident, additional charge, prior payment or plea, or missed date.
- Mention a commercial or out-of-state license and any current restriction.
An inquiry does not extend a deadline or excuse an appearance. We serve drivers with LaPlace tickets from our Baton Rouge office. Meet our team.
