Do I Need a Lawyer to Fight a Speeding Ticket?
There certainly are times when you really do need to hire a lawyer, but the majority of the time, for speeding ticket defense, what you really need is the skill and expertise of a traffic law expert – like The Pointman.
As a Court of Justice Agent with more than 37 years of traffic courtroom experience (see our credentials), The Pointman has defended everything from minor speeding tickets up to and including traffic charges issued after a fatal accident and our fees are much lower than what a speed ticket lawyer will charge you.
Criminal trial lawyers don’t study traffic law in school and really have no reason to know about the impact speeding tickets can have on your insurance rates… so your best speeding ticket lawyer isn’t a lawyer at all.
At The Pointman, fighting traffic tickets… including speeding tickets, is all we do and protecting your driving record so your insurance rates don’t skyrocket are what we’re all about. Since the cost of a lawyer to fight a speeding ticket is quite high, drivers often pay their tickets without considering other defense solutions.
That’s a shame because so often we are able to minimize what ends up on your driving record.
Is Speeding a Criminal Offense?... Ever?
A speeding ticket is NEVER a criminal offense. Even excessive speeding tickets (court appearance required with no fine listed) are not criminal and something we handle very effectively every day. Find out more about excessive speed definition and how we can help you with those tickets.
Is Speeding Dangerous Driving?
It can be, and it’s the ONLY time speeding can lead to a criminal code charge. In those cases we will refer you to a criminal trial lawyer. If someone is killed as a result of your speeding, you could be charged with Dangerous Driving and face jail time and a criminal record. That’s when you need help from a speeding lawyer.
