Speeding Tickets in St. Charles Missouri - Starting at $35

The unfortunate reality is that not very many people contact an attorney when they receive a St Charles Missouri speeding ticket. Instead, most folks simply pay the fine listed on the back of the citation. But making this decision comes with a really big cost. Because paying the fine on your ticket is the same thing as pleading guilty to the charge of speeding. This may not sound like a big deal (because hey, you were in fact speeding!) But please read below about the sort of consequences you can expect.

A guilty plea (which happens when you pay the fine on your St Charles Missouri speeding ticket) will allow the state of Missouri to put a certain number of points on your permanent driving record. Once points become a part of your record, the car insurance company you use will jack up your rates through the roof. Why? Because from the insurance industry’s point of view, if you disobey the traffic laws, then you are a much bigger risk of getting into a car accident. And since the insurance company is insuring against that very possibility, they drastically increase your rates anytime you receive points. This increase can easily be 35% or more above your current premiums (which will blow up your household budget over the next several years).

But that’s not even the half of it. Because if you were to receive too many points over a short period of time (like within a year), then the state will suspend your driving privileges altogether. This type of suspension would end up lasting twelve months (during which time it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle). Just so you know, getting caught driving on a suspended license will mean getting hit with a misdemeanor charge (which comes with potential jail time and a large fine, along with a potential additional full year of suspension time). We handle Driving While Suspended / Revoked tickets, but it is far easier when we are dealing with just the speeding ticket!

So what can we offer instead? What makes our services more compelling than you simply pleading guilty? Our team will work closely with the local prosecutor to get the ticket reduced from a moving violation (like “Excessive Speeding”) down to a non-moving violation (such as “Illegal Parking”). The reason for this goal is simple: non-moving violations do not come with any points to your permanent driving record. And if there are no points, then there is nothing to worry about! But please do get in touch with us soon. Because if you wait too long, and miss a required court hearing, your ticket will go into warrant status (and then you’ll have the added stress of being arrested at any time). But we can begin to work on your case immediately. We look forward to hearing from you!!
