The St. Louis metropolitan area contains 77 municipalities, many of which have different speed limits on local streets and different standards for enforcing those limits. While getting a speeding ticket may seem more like a nuisance than a serious offense, the consequences can be significant.
At the Zolman Law Firm, our lawyers defend people who are charged with all kinds of traffic offenses, including speeding tickets. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and your options. We have offices in Mid County and South County in St. Louis. We are often able to help clients over the phone, without the need for an office visit. If you can fax or e-mail your documents to us, we can take it from there.
Effect on Your Driver's License and Insurance Rates
When you pay a speeding ticket, points will be assessed on your driver's license. If you accumulate more than 12 points in a year, your driver's license may be suspended. If your insurance company finds out about the ticket, your insurance rates can also go up substantially.
When you hire our attorneys to represent you, our goal will be to amend the charges to a less serious offense that would result in no points or fewer points on your driver's license. For example, we may be able to reduce a speeding ticket to a nonmoving violation such as illegal parking. You would still have to pay a fine, but you would not accumulate points on your license. Your insurance companies are less likely to find out about a nonmoving violation, and therefore your insurance rates may not go up.
In most cases, you would not have to miss work to show up in court. Our lawyers would appear on your behalf.
