Traffic Violation Defense
in Ohio

Don't just pay the ticket. Paying is a guilty plea — it adds points to your license, raises your insurance, and can lead to suspension. We fight traffic charges so you don't have to pay the long-term price.

Points Add Up Fast

Ohio suspends your license at 12 points within 2 years. Even a few minor violations can push you over the edge.

Insurance Rates Spike

Moving violations can increase your premiums for 3–5 years. A single ticket can cost you hundreds annually.

We Often Get Results

Many traffic cases are reduced or dismissed entirely. The cost of an attorney is often less than the long-term cost of a conviction.

Our Approach

How We Fight Traffic Tickets

Many people assume traffic tickets aren't worth fighting. They're wrong. With an experienced attorney, a large percentage of traffic cases are reduced to non-moving violations or dismissed entirely — saving you points, insurance increases, and potential suspension.

We review the officer's report, the ticket itself, radar gun calibration records, and any camera footage. We look for procedural errors, equipment failures, and any circumstances that can work in your favor.

In many cases, we can appear on your behalf so you don't even have to take time off work to go to court.

Traffic Ticket FAQs

Is paying a traffic ticket a good idea?

No. Paying a ticket is an admission of guilt. It adds points to your license, can raise your insurance rates, and may contribute to a suspension. Always consult an attorney first.

Can traffic tickets be contested in Ohio?

Absolutely. Many tickets are contested successfully. We review the officer's notes, radar calibration records, and circumstances of the stop to build your defense.

How many points before my license is suspended in Ohio?

Ohio suspends licenses at 12 points within 2 years. Different violations carry different point values — we help you avoid accumulating them.

Does a traffic conviction affect my insurance?

Yes. Most moving violations trigger insurance premium increases. A dismissal or reduction keeps your record clean and your rates down.
