Attorneys Serving St. Louis, Missouri and Illinois

Questions:

• Why do I need to pay an attorney?


• Why shouldn't I just pay the fine on the back of the ticket and mail it in to the Court?


• Won't that save me money?

When you pay the fine listed on the ticket and mail it in to the court, you may not have to actually go to court, but you are pleading guilty (admitting that you are guilty) to the offense charged on the ticket and that offense will appear on your criminal or driving record.

If you hire an accident attorney to handle your case, your attorney will negotiate to have the charges changed before you admit your guilt or are found guilty by the court. In most cases, simple charges can be kept off your record and more serious charges can be reduced to less serious ones.




By hiring an accident attorney to handle your ticket you are actually spending a little more money at first, but saving money and other difficulties in the long run. You may have to pay the attorney fee up front and pay a fine to the court, but by keeping the charges off of your record, you are saving money in reduced insurance premiums, lower fines for future tickets, and you are reducing the chance that your drivers license will be suspended or revoked.
