Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Traffic Tickets
1. Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a traffic ticket?
Yes! A traffic ticket attorney can fight for reduced penalties, keep points off your license, and prevent costly insurance hikes. In many cases, we can resolve your case without you going to court.
2. How many points can I have before my license is suspended?
- South Carolina: 12 points = License suspension
- Georgia: 15 points in 24 months = License suspension
Certain violations carry more points, meaning just one or two tickets could put your license at risk.
3. Will a speeding ticket affect my insurance rates?
Yes. According to Forbes, a single speeding ticket can raise your insurance premiums by 20% or more. The impact increases with:
- Higher speeds
- Prior violations
- Age and driving experience
4. Can I fight a traffic ticket if I was caught on camera?
Yes! Red light cameras and speed cameras do not always provide accurate evidence, and an attorney can challenge:
- Camera calibration issues
- Unclear license plate identification
- Whether you were actually driving the vehicle
5. What happens if I ignore my traffic ticket?
Ignoring a traffic ticket can result in:
- License suspension
- Additional fines and penalties
- Arrest warrants for unpaid fines
If you’ve missed a deadline, contact our firm immediately to explore your options.
6. Can a traffic lawyer get my ticket dismissed?
Yes, in many cases. Common defenses include:

Even if dismissal isn’t possible, we can often reduce fines and points on your record.
