Why You Shouldn't Pay Your Ticket Online

Most people who get a ticket think that if they just pay it then they do not have to worry about it anymore. However, if you pay a ticket online you are admitting you were guilty of the allegations in the ticket. If the allegations against you are serious enough, you could end up with a suspended drivers license or serious moving violations on your record that will affect your insurance rates. 

What many police officers and court staff fail to explain is that a guilty plea to a ticket gets reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles and to your insurance company. So simply paying the ticket means that you never get a chance to argue about the ticket or to seek a resolution that does not affect your license or your insurance. Hiring an attorney to help you with a ticket will almost always end with a better situation than a guilty plea as charged. My firm has been handling tickets in the Greater New Orleans area since 2009. We have great relationships with all the prosecutors and the courts. We can help keep your license from being suspended or your insurance rates being increased because of tickets. Don’t just pay the ticket, call us today and let us help you fight that ticket!
