If I plead guilty to the ticket, how much will I have to pay in fines?
The fines are set by the Judge. There are limitations to the fines but it will depend on a number of factors.
Depending on the rate of speed the ticket can result in a fine as low as $45.00 and go as high as several hundred dollars. Furthermore, repeat offenders can be facing even higher fines.
Do you recommend that I fight my traffic ticket?
It is our recommendation that every moving violation be contested with a not guilty plea.
