We Cover All Florida Counties

Legal representation for traffic tickets in Central Florida including Orange County (Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee), Osceola County (Kissimmee), Seminole County (Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Winter Springs), Brevard County (Titusville, Rockledge, Viera, Palm Bay, Melbourne), Lake County (Tavares), Polk County (Bartow, Winter Haven), and Volusia County.  We represent hundreds of drivers every year.  Keep your insurance rates low, keep points off your Florida drivers license, and avoid suspensions.  If you received the ticket in the above locations call us.

Don't just pay the ticket.  If you pay a the speeding ticket without electing traffic court you'll receive points.  Points accessed also could be used to suspend your driving privilege.

Additionally, the police may have written down the wrong fine amount.  If you just pay it you must pay the wrong amount.  Don't just pay your ticket.  Always contact an attorney before simply paying the ticket.

Orlando STOPS Red Light Camera tickets now show up on your driving record due to recent changes in the law.  However, they currently still do not carry points.  Expect that to change sometime in the future.

Protect Your Privilege to Drive. Ensure that the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DMV) does not get the opportunity to suspend your license by the accumulation of points or any other reason. Take advantage of the law - keep driving/stay employed.

Most drivers are uncertain of their rights in connection with receiving a traffic ticket, citation, or infraction and are unaware of the consequences of just paying the ticket. It is often the case that many drivers immediately pay traffic tickets, thereby receiving points on their drivers license that carry long-term consequences, including increased insurance rates, loss of commercial driving privileges (or livelihood) and suspension of driver's license. Simply paying the ticket may also place you in the precarious position of having your Florida drivers license suspended for 5 years as a habitual traffic offender.

Your Options/Driver Options (Please read)

  • OPTION #1: Simply Pay the Ticket (not the best option)
    Pay Ticket = Receive Points. If a driver receives a traffic ticket and chooses to accept responsibility and just pay the ticket the court will adjudicate the citation and the Department of Motor Vehicles and Highway Safety will assess points on the driver's record. Points accumulate over time. Too many points within a specific time frame may subject the driver's license to suspension or revocation and may cause your insurance carry to raise your automobile insurance rates.
  • OPTION #2: Driving School Option
    Driving School Option (does not require an attorney). This may be the best option for you and save you the cost of an attorney. A driver in Florida who successfully completes this option will have the adjudication withheld by the court and no points will be assessed on the driver's record. In addition, Safe Driver status is maintained, and your insurance rates cannot go up or be cancelled (unless you are at fault in a crash). You must make this election within 30 days of receiving your ticket. This election cannot be taken within 12 months of a previous driving school election and only 5 elections are allowed to be taken within a ten-year period. To elect this option you need to call the Clerk of Court in the county where you received your ticket or go online to the Clerk's website.  Then find a school go to our Traffic Ticket Schools page.
    If you possess a CDL drivers license OR were stopped for speeding and your speed exceeded 30 mph over the posted speed limit you will not be eligible to elect the school option. Go to Option 3 below.
  • OPTION #3: Hire a Florida Traffic Ticket Defense Attorney
         An attorney can appear for a driver at a hearing, challenge the law enforcement officer to prove the infraction beyond a reasonable doubt, and protect a driver's license by requesting that no points be assessed (adjudication withheld) by the court. In addition, an attorney may be able to get the court to allow you to take a driving school option when you are ineligible by statute either due to a recent driving school election or because the maximum school allowance has been surpassed. NOTE: This option is not a guarantee that no points will be assessed or that you will not be required to attend a driving school. A court can, after a hearing, require a driver to pay a fine up to $500 ($1,000 in some cases), attend a driving school, assess points, and suspend your license (or any combination thereof).
