Why does the pricing to fight traffic tickets vary?
The cost changes because no two traffic ticket cases are exactly the same. It depends on how serious the violation is, how many tickets you got, what county it happened in, whether there was an accident, how soon something needs to be done, and what the consequences might be.
For instance, smaller cases like a non-moving violation could start as low as $49 in Florida. But once you get into criminal traffic offenses or complicated situations with property damage or injury the legal costs can be significantly more. The best thing you can do to get a quick quote is use our calculator or text your ticket to 305305.
Does the type of traffic violation impact the cost to fight it?
Yes it definitely does. The kind of violation plays a big role in how much it will cost to defend. A speeding ticket for going five miles over is in a different universe compared to a DUI or reckless driving charge.
Generally in Florida, there are moving violations which include infractions like speeding, running a red light or improper turns.
Next, there’s non-moving violations which include things like a broken tail light, inproper registration or expired tags.
Finally, the most serious category is criminal violations which include DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, etc.
Simple infractions usually carry lower fees. When things like jail time risk, license suspension, big fines, and job threats add weight to a case, it raises the stakes. That naturally drives up the cost.
If I received multiple tickets at once will it cost me more to fight them?
Most likely yes. Getting multiple tickets in one stop makes everything more complicated. Every extra citation means more paperwork, more court strategy, and sometimes more hearings.
And depending on the combo of violations it can increase your points or even lead to license issues. We often need to spend more time figuring out how to fight everything at once while avoiding penalties stacking up.
Every charge takes time to defend and that means a higher total cost. That said, our firm always does our best to offer the best possible pricing in these situations.
Is urgency a factor in the pricing to fight a traffic ticket?
Yes urgency matters. If a court date is coming up fast or your license is on the line next week then we have to jump into action right away.
That means more pressure to get records quickly, talk to the court, prepare a defense, and possibly appear in court with less prep time. Naturally, we price those situations differently from cases with more breathing room.
So yes, the faster you need help the more it may cost because everything gets more intense when deadlines are tight.
Does it cost more to fight traffic tickets in certain counties?
Yes, where your ticket happened can sometimes impact the price.
Some areas are tougher on traffic cases. Some have more court dates or more steps in the process. And some require more travel-time, more waiting, more hassle.
That said, one of the advantages of using The Ticket Clinic over other firms is that we have lawyers and offices strategically located around the state of Florida. This enables us to give better pricing and coverage than other firms in rural areas and smaller traffic courts.
How do accidents with property damage or injuries factor into pricing?
Any case involving damage or injury is instantly more serious. It is no longer just about a traffic ticket. Now there might be police reports, insurance issues, possible lawsuit,s and even criminal charges on the table.
That means way more work on our end. We might need to collect evidence, interview witnesses, coordinate with insurance adjusters, and handle overlapping legal problems.
So yes, the fee goes up in those situations because the case turns into something bigger and riskier. It is not just fighting a citation anymore; it is protecting you from major financial and legal damage.
Do criminal traffic cases cost more to fight than normal moving violations?
Yes, by a wide margin. Criminal traffic cases come with a higher risk to your future and freedom. You might be facing jail time, permanent marks on your record, or huge fines.
These cases often require court appearances, cross-examination, evidence gathering, and a real defense strategy. You are not just paying to get out of a ticket; you are paying to avoid a criminal conviction.
Because of that, the cost is much higher than a simple moving violation. These cases take more time, more preparation, and more courtroom skill. We take them very seriously, and the pricing reflects that level of attention and risk.
