How Our Traffic Attorneys Help You Fight a Speeding Ticket in Missouri

Hiring our law firm means you are investing in a clean driving record. An experienced Missouri speeding ticket lawyer takes the stress off your shoulders and can achieve results you likely cannot on your own.

✔️ We Go to Court For You

Your time is valuable. In most cases, our traffic attorneys appear in court on your behalf, so you don’t have to miss work. We handle cases across the state, including in local courts like those in Webster Groves and the greater St. Louis County area. Learn more about our firm and our approach.

✔️ We Protect Your Driving Record

Our primary goal is to negotiate with the prosecutor to amend your speeding ticket to a non-moving violation with no points.

✔️ We Aim to Prevent Insurance Hikes

By preventing a conviction, we shield your record from your insurance provider, helping you avoid the costly premium increases that typically last for three years.

We Handle All Types of Missouri Speeding Violations

No matter the situation, our team has the experience to build the strongest possible defense for your case. We regularly handle:

  • Standard Speeding Tickets (6-19 mph over): This is a Class C Misdemeanor that results in 2 points on your record, according to the Missouri Department of Revenue.
  • High-Speed Violations (20-25 mph over): A more serious Class B Misdemeanor as defined by law (RSMo § 304.010), which carries 3 points.
  • “Careless & Imprudent Driving” (26+ mph over): Prosecutors often use this charge, defined in RSMo § 304.012, for high-speed violations. A conviction carries 4 points and puts your license at immediate risk. You can read more about it on our blog.

Real Results for Missouri Drivers

We are proud of the results we get for our clients. Here’s a look at how we’ve helped drivers protect their records and avoid serious penalties.

Case Study: High-Speed Ticket in St. Louis County

The Situation: A client was charged with a serious Class B Misdemeanor in St. Louis County for driving more than 25 mph over the speed limit. They were facing 3 points on their license, a significant fine, and a near-certain insurance premium increase.

Our Action: Our attorney took over the case completely, handling all communication with the court and the prosecutor. We negotiated on the client’s behalf, highlighting mitigating factors and the client’s otherwise clean driving history.

The Result: We successfully had the charge amended to a non-moving violation with no points.

  • Zero points were added to their license.
  • Their driving record remained clean.
  • Their insurance company was not notified.
  • The client did not have to appear in court.
