Legal Help When Needed
Receive a traffic ticket?
Did you get cited for a traffic offense?
You need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your options and the potential ramifications of trying to resolve the matter yourself. Many clients are surprised when they learn the hidden implications of paying a seemingly minor traffic ticket to avoid court (e.g., points on one’s driver’s license, license suspension, large fines, etc.). While there are times when a client can safely handle this situation without representation, at the very least, contacting an attorney for a free consultation before doing so is always the wisest approach.
If you are facing a traffic ticket charge in Kentucky, don’t wait to secure the legal help you need. Contact Josh McIntosh Law today to discuss your case. Reach out at (859) 217 4467 to schedule a consultation and begin building your defense.

for Your Rights

FINES AND COURT COSTS
One of the most immediate consequences of a traffic ticket in Kentucky is the cost. Traffic fines can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars depending on the offense. In addition to the fine, court costs may also be added to the ticket. Court costs can vary, but they typically range from $143 to $153 in Kentucky. These costs cover the expenses associated with processing and adjudicating the ticket.
Another consequence of a traffic ticket in Kentucky is the potential to accrue points on your driver’s license. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet assigns points to driver’s licenses for certain traffic violations. The number of points assigned varies depending on the offense. For example, running a red light will result in three points, while speeding 26 mph or more over the speed limit will result in six points. If you accumulate too many points within a certain time frame, your license may be suspended or revoked.
A traffic ticket can also lead to an increase in your car insurance rates. Insurance companies view drivers with traffic violations as higher risk, and they may increase your rates as a result. The amount of the increase will vary depending on the violation and your insurance company. In some cases, the increase can be significant and last for several years.
If you accrue too many points on your driver’s license or commit a serious traffic violation, your license may be suspended or revoked. The length of the suspension or revocation will depend on the offense. For example, operating on a suspended license carries a six month license suspension.
In some cases, a traffic violation can result in criminal charges. For example, if you are driving under the influence or if you cause an accident that results in injury or death, you may face criminal charges. These charges can result in fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.
As explored above, traffic tickets can be a nuisance for drivers, but they can also have significant consequences and a lasting impact on your life. That’s why it’s important to consider hiring an attorney to represent you in traffic court. In this blog post, we will explore why it’s important to hire an attorney for a traffic ticket.
LEGAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE
One of the most significant benefits of hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket is their legal knowledge and expertise. Traffic laws can be complex, and it can be difficult to navigate the court system on your own. An experienced attorney will have a deep understanding of traffic laws and regulations, as well as the legal procedures involved in fighting a traffic ticket. This knowledge and expertise can be invaluable in building a strong defense and securing the best possible outcome.
REDUCED PENALTIES
Another benefit of hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket is the potential for reduced penalties. Attorneys can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce fines or other penalties, such as points on your license or potential license suspension. They can also help you explore alternative options, such as traffic school, that may reduce or eliminate the consequences of the ticket.
PEACE OF MIND
Fighting a traffic ticket can be stressful and time-consuming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the legal system. By hiring an attorney, you can have peace of mind knowing that a legal professional is handling your case. They can handle all of the paperwork and communication with the court, allowing you to focus on your daily life. This can reduce stress and make the process much more manageable.
INCREASED CHANCE OF SUCCESS
Finally, hiring an attorney can increase your chances of success in fighting a traffic ticket. Attorneys have experience in building strong legal arguments and presenting evidence in court. They can also help you identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and exploit them to your advantage. With an attorney by your side, you are more likely to achieve a favorable outcome in your case.
In conclusion, hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket can have many benefits, including legal knowledge and expertise, reduced penalties, peace of mind, and an increased chance of success. If you are facing a traffic ticket, it’s important to consider hiring an experienced attorney to represent you. They can help you navigate the legal system and secure the best possible outcome for your case.
