Flat-Fee Traffic Ticket Defense

Cheap Traffic Ticket Lawyer in Las Vegas — $100 Flat Fee

Cap & Kudler charges $100 to negotiate your Las Vegas traffic ticket. That's a flat attorney fee — no hourly billing, no retainer, no surprises. For most people, it's the least expensive way to resolve a citation in Clark County and walk away with no points on your record.

What the $100 Fee Covers

For $100, we appear before the court and negotiate your ticket. The goal in most cases is to reduce your moving violation to a parking infraction — a non-moving violation that carries no demerit points and is not reported to the DMV or your insurance company.

When a ticket is negotiated, the client pays the court fine and, depending on the court, may also be required to complete traffic school or pay a demerit reduction fee. Those are court costs paid directly to the court — they are separate from our attorney fee.

What the attorney fee buys is the outcome and the process. Handling a traffic case correctly requires knowing what each Clark County court requires, meeting deadlines, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. A mistake — a missed step, an incorrect filing, or a misunderstanding of what a particular court requires — can result in paying the fine and still having the points added to your record. That's the worst of both outcomes. We've handled hundreds of cases across Clark County courts and know exactly what each one requires.

You send us the citation. We handle the court. In most cases, you don't need to appear.

When You Need to Contest the Ticket: $200

Some cases are better off contested than negotiated — particularly radar-based speeding tickets in Las Vegas Justice Court, where the dismissal rate on properly contested cases is very high. The $200 flat fee covers the full process:

Initial filingWe paper the case and deposit the required bond with the court on your behalf.
Discovery on the State of NevadaWe formally request all evidence the prosecution intends to use, which is where many radar-based citations reveal weaknesses.
MotionsWe file the appropriate motions based on the specific facts of your case.
Client preparationWe walk you through exactly what to expect before your hearing.
Hearing appearanceWe appear before the traffic master at Las Vegas Justice Court and present your defense.

No hourly billing. No add-ons. One flat fee covers everything from filing through the hearing.

The Real Cost of Paying the Ticket Yourself

In Nevada, most traffic tickets are civil infractions — not criminal matters. Paying the fine means accepting liability for the infraction. Points are added to your driving record and, depending on the violation, the fine alone can be substantial. Courts may also charge up to $100 in additional demerit reduction fees on top of the base fine.

ViolationTypical FinePoints
1–10 mph over$1501 point
11–20 mph over$1952 points
21–30 mph over$3053 points
Red light / stop sign$294–$4154 points
31–40 mph over$294–$4154 points

At 12 points within 12 months, your license is suspended. And beyond the fine, an insurance rate increase from a moving violation typically lasts years. A $100 attorney fee paid now is almost always less expensive than the fine plus the insurance impact paid over time.

Can You Just Handle It Yourself?

You can appear in court yourself — that's your right. But a few things work against self-representation:

Traffic prosecutors handle these cases daily. Most people don't.
Radar speeding challenges require knowing the specific statutory prerequisites Nevada law requires officers to document. Without discovery, you won't know whether the gap exists.
Negotiated reductions are largely relationship-driven. An attorney who appears in the same courts regularly gets different results than someone appearing for the first time.
The risk with self-representation isn't just losing — it's making a procedural mistake that results in paying the fine and having the points added to your record anyway. That outcome is worse than simply paying the ticket in the first place.

For a $100 flat fee, the question isn't whether you can handle it yourself — it's whether it's worth the time, uncertainty, and risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is $100 really the full attorney fee?

Yes. $100 is our flat fee for negotiating your ticket — appearing before the court to reduce your moving violation to a non-moving violation. That fee is separate from any court fine or demerit reduction fee the court may require, which the client pays directly to the court.

Do I have to pay a court bond on top of the fee?

For contested cases, Nevada courts require a bond deposit (currently $150 at Las Vegas Justice Court). That is separate from our $200 fee and is held by the court — it is returned or applied depending on the outcome. We'll explain what applies to your specific case before you decide anything.

What information do you need from me?

Usually just a copy of your citation. If your case involves failure to have insurance, registration, or a driver's license, we'll need proof that those have been resolved.

How long does a contested case take?

Contested cases at Las Vegas Justice Court are typically assigned a hearing date about five months out. Negotiated cases resolve much faster — often within the court's normal processing timeline.

Do I have to go to court?

In most cases, no. We appear on your behalf. You generally don't need to take time off work or show up to court.

What if I have a warrant from a previous ticket?

Contact us. A warrant from a missed court date or unpaid fine is a separate issue but one we can help you address before it creates bigger problems.
