If you are not sure where the ticket was issued, I suspect if you contact motor vehicles in Texas they can tell you whre in Louisiaina the ticket was issued. If oyu hire a traffic... View More 
So I got a ticket rope for driving under suspended suspension but I've never done anything to get a suspension so how would it change from expired to expansion without seeing the charge or getting in any trouble

My question is this: How do I find out what my fines are. And I'm told it has to go before a judge. Help!! I've never been in this concerning situation.

My suggestion is that you contact a traffic ticket lawyer in the area the ticket wss issued to discuss your matter and the best way to proceed. Or you can represent yourself and contact the prosecutor's office or just show up for Court. In all likelihood, you are court-ordered because of the... View More

Yes, even if your speeding ticket was reduced to a fine, it will still go on your driving record in Louisiana. This is because all moving violations, regardless of the outcome, are recorded with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV).
The OMV maintains a driving record for all... View More

Errors on a traffic ticket don't automatically render it void, but they can sometimes be used to challenge the citation. If you decide to contest the ticket based on the inaccuracies, you will need to appear in court or potentially send a representative on your behalf. Before doing so, wait... View More

Yes, go to Court and inform the Court and prosecution you want to go to trial---that said the best advice I can give is that the accused consult with a lawyer prior to any court date as it will assist the accused in identifying options and priorities. Or even better than a consult with a lawyer is... View More

You should get a traffic ticket/criminal defense lawyer located in the parish where the ticket was issued. Your lawyer is in the best position to assist you----paying him now is less expensive that future increases in your monthly auto insurance premiums. Good luck.

What court is the ticket from? When is your court date set for? Is it in Louisiana? I handle tickets in courts all over Louisiana.
My daughter got in a wreck and said she doesn't remember seeing headlights coming. Because of this concrete sign. Everyone complains about it. She got a ticket but the sign is obstructing her view.

If you posted this because of a traffic ticket issued to your daughter, then you might want to take photos... View More

Yes, it is illegal, however my experience is many people do travel in heavy storms with their flashers/hazard lights operation because it is believed to be safer. I am not sure if that's true, but it is illegal.
