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

Three Open container tickets from Woodworth Louisiana went to collections and the collection agency is saying that I cannot make any payments less than a $100 they will only accept payments of a $100 or more is that legal can they do that
answered on Sep 12, 2024
Technically, they have been hired to the full amount you owe so they can refuse anything less than that. It isn't practical, but it's likely legal. I would send in the payment anyway. They will likely process it as that is cheaper than taking the time to mail it back to you. Good luck.
I was pulled over back in April for going 49 in a 35. On the ticket it even says I was pulled over for going that much over the speed limit but on my ticket it says that the STAT./ORD. is 11.131 A(1) for speeding and the internet says that's for going 31 mph or more over the limit. I was only... View More

I do not have the stat/ordinance in front of me to confirm what you are saying, however assuming you state the truth, then you contest the ticket on that basis, however, a trier of fact can still find you guilty of speeding , just not over 20 mph. I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in your... 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.
I paused and checked for oncoming traffic. And I thought I came to a complete stop, however I was issued a citation for not coming to a complete stop

Or even better than a consult with a lawyer is... View More
