If a Shreveport traffic stop ends with a speeding citation, the next step is to have the charge and court date reviewed. Our Louisiana traffic-ticket team can explain how representation may help and whether an amendment to a non-moving violation is available.
Have a Louisiana speeding ticket? Send it to our team for review. We assess the charge and court requirements, explain the result we can seek and handle the legal work covered by your representation. You receive a clear fee and an explanation of any personal obligation that remains.
Non-moving amendment or dismissal—or your attorney’s fee back. If we accept your speeding-ticket case and obtain neither result, we refund your full attorney’s fee. Court fines and costs are separate. Read our fee-refund promise and what representation covers.
First steps for a Shreveport citation
- Read the court and response date on every page; do not select a court simply because the stop occurred near Shreveport.
- For a City Court matter, use its Criminal / Traffic Division for administrative questions about the date, record or fine.
- Send the full ticket, notices and any prior payment to our team. Mention a close or missed deadline first.
- Confirm whether the firm accepted the matter and whether you must attend; keep the original date unless a change is confirmed.
Shreveport City Court lists its Criminal / Traffic Division at 1244 Texas Avenue, (318) 673-5830. The same office handles court-date and fine inquiries and traffic records. It is an administrative contact, not a promise that a particular amendment is available. Sources checked October 15, 2026.
During the stop, focus on safety
Pull over safely when directed, keep your hands visible and explain where your documents are before reaching for them. Follow lawful directions and ask for clarification if you do not understand. If you have a medical emergency or need assistance, say so clearly and accurately.
Do not make up an explanation or turn a disagreement about speed into a roadside argument. Once safely stopped afterward, write down the facts you want your lawyer to know. Preserve existing video without editing the original.
Read the court information with our team
For matters assigned there, Shreveport City Court’s Criminal / Traffic Division maintains traffic records, handles court-date and fine inquiries, and reports traffic convictions to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles. That is why the eventual charge and disposition matter, not just the amount paid.
The court on your paperwork controls. Send the front and back of the citation and any additional notices. Tell us if you paid, appeared or arranged anything already; we need the current status rather than assuming the original ticket is still untouched.
What an amendment would mean
In eligible cases, our lawyers commonly pursue a non-moving amendment. Shreveport City Court’s Rule 26 addresses how the city prosecutor may amend a charge. It does not require approval of every request or make dismissal automatic.
A non-moving resolution aims to avoid a moving conviction on the driving record. The applicable fine and court costs generally remain payable, along with the separate legal fee. Insurance treatment depends on the final result and insurer; a specific outcome cannot be promised.
Give us the details that affect the review
- The alleged speed, location and every listed charge.
- The court or response date, including one already missed.
- Your license state and whether you hold a commercial license.
- Any relevant earlier tickets, payments or notices.
- Existing footage or a factual concern about the citation.
You do not need to photograph the roadway, question the officer or prepare a trial presentation yourself. We can identify what further information is useful and explain the approach proposed for the matter. Our Shreveport defense guide explains how counsel evaluates the existing evidence and local procedure.
Do not assume the inquiry changes your deadline
Our team will confirm whether we can accept the case and whether you must attend personally. Until you receive case-specific guidance, do not treat a website message as a postponement.
