Experienced Traffic Court Representation

Almost everyone, at some point has received a speeding ticket or traffic citation. Although often treated as minor offenses, if not resolved properly, a speeding ticket or traffic citation can result in serious and expensive consequences. Our attorneys routinely handle all types of traffic violations and are able to help you obtain a result that will minimize the potential of increased insurance costs or even the loss of your driving privileges.

What should I do if I received a traffic ticket?

First and foremost, DO NOT PAY THE TICKET! By paying the ticket online or at the courthouse on your scheduled court date, you are pleading guilty, and this admission of guilt will likely have a negative impact on your driving record and could cause your insurance premiums to dramatically increase. King & Rowe, PLLC, offers FREE CONSULTATIONS for all traffic citations and we will be happy to discuss your options and possible ramifications of your speeding ticket or other traffic violation. If you choose to represent yourself, you will likely be required to appear in court, on the stated court date, and either accept a plea or pay for the ticket that day. Alternatively, most minor traffic offenses can be handled by one of our attorneys without your ever having to appear in court.
