Speeding Tickets

Don’t just pay that speeding ticket issued in Broward County, FL, without a fight. Paying the ticket is an admission and causes a “conviction” and points. Fax or email us a copy of your ticket and your contact information including an email address and our staff will send you all the information you need to retain us.

Our goal is to get your speeding ticket dismissed entirely. Even if we can’t get the ticket dismissed, we can ask the court to “withhold adjudication” so that you do not get any points.


Moving Violations

If you received a citation for any moving violation – don’t just pay the ticket. Paying the ticket means you are admitting guilt and will be “convicted” and assessed points. We represent clients with civil infractions for all types of moving violations including running a red light or stop sign, failure to maintain lane, following too closely, careless driving, aggressive careless driving, illegal turn, illegal u-turn, passing a school bus, or a move over violation. Let our traffic ticket attorney in Fort Lauderdale fight your ticket for you.


Non-Moving Violations
