Miami speeding ticket- Attorney?
- Thread starter jrz
- Start date
Obviously not. :lol
It depends on the state. My infractions from Ohio and Indiana have showed up on my Michigan record. Infractions from other states haven't. You can probably check online to see if they have reciprocity.
I usually just google traffic lawyer in the area where ticket was given and start calling. I have got out of a bunch by doing this. It can cost anywhere between 150 and 400 bucks. Same thing here some states I have gotten tickets in show up in MN and some do not.
I found a good traffic attorney in N.Florida - Jacksonville area. Not sure if will help in Miami as 300 mi away. They got rid of my points for my so called speeding and illegally passing whilst in the 458. Can PM me for info if think it would help in S.Florida.
Thanks for all of the responces, It took awhile to remember, but I have a bussiness contact in N. Miami/Broward that might ocasionally deal with a few traffic violations or spirited driving infractions. Rumor is that for the right amount and plea, the ticket is not recorded.
If I recall - a good attorney can plead nolo contendere (or something like that) - in effect you don't plead guilty or innocent per se. You do pay court costs ( which typically are more than the ticket) plus attorney fees etc... but you don't get the points and thus no insurance change.
The ticket / points will not transfer to your state although most states have a sharing system which means your state will know about the ticket but not put points on your license ( a simple call to your dmv will confirm this and you should). That said, what will happen is it will show up on your insurance because they use a national database which is what could be costly.
You should hire a local atty to represent you and plead it down to a violation other than speeding. The 200 or 300 is worth it.
Take if from somebody who has an annual budget for these kinds of things because my right leg is a little heavy....

I got a ticket in Ohio driving home from the Virginia Rally - it showed up in Texas within a few days! I got a letter from DPS about how many points I'd racked up. I don't know if they have it in Florida, but in Texas you can do a defensive driving course on line that negates the ticket, plus gets you a discount on your insurnace - I think you're allowed one of these per year.
I still have my license :biggrin
so yes, they are quite good & not very expensive
How many mph over where you ? In FL Reckless driving is +30 so I always drive 20-25 over
Danger of +25 is that FL legislators or judges allow the Cops to "estimate" your speed which they always estimate to at least +31

82 in a 65 zone that just change from a 70 zone, rental car, just keeping up with traffic, etc.

I got a speeding ticket in Texas this year (11 mph over also in a rental car) and when I paid it they told me that since I was from out of state, for an extra $80 and assuming I didn't get another ticket within 90 days, they would not send notification to AZ. No class required. That was a bargain. An attorney will either get you out of it or tell you how to minimize the damage.
