Frequently Asked Questions

A: In Nevada, if you accumulate 12 or more demerit points within a 12-month period, your driver's license will be suspended. Points stay on your record and can affect your insurance rates for years. This is why reducing a moving violation to a parking ticket (which carries no points) is so valuable.

A: If you simply pay your traffic ticket, you are pleading guilty to the violation. This means points will be added to your driving record, the violation will be reported to the DMV, and your insurance company will likely find out—potentially raising your premiums for 3-5 years. For many people, the long-term cost of increased insurance far exceeds the cost of hiring an attorney to fight the ticket.

A: Our fees depend on the specific violation and court involved. We offer a free consultation where we'll review your case and provide a clear quote before you commit to anything. In many cases, the cost of representation is less than the increased insurance premiums you'd pay over the next few years if you just paid the ticket.

A: Our goal is to reduce your moving violation to a parking ticket. A parking ticket means no points on your license, no report to the DMV, and no notification to your insurance company. You'll still pay a fine, but you avoid the long-term consequences of points on your record.

A: In most cases, no. We handle the court appearances on your behalf, so you don't have to take time off work or rearrange your schedule. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and let you know the outcome.

A: If you have an outstanding warrant from an unpaid or missed traffic ticket, we can help. We work to quash warrants and resolve the underlying ticket. It's important to address warrants promptly—if you're pulled over for any reason, you could be arrested on the spot.

A: Yes. We regularly represent out-of-state drivers who received traffic tickets in Clark County. You typically won't need to return to Nevada—we handle everything on your behalf and keep you updated on the progress and outcome of your case.

A: Ignoring a traffic ticket is a serious mistake. If you fail to respond or pay your citation, you risk additional fines, a bench warrant for your arrest, and suspension of your driver's license. The DMV will be notified, and you could be arrested at any time—including during a routine traffic stop. Always address your ticket promptly.

A: Red light camera tickets can be challenged, but the approach depends on the specific circumstances. During your free consultation, we'll review the details of your citation and explain your options. In some cases, there may be procedural or technical defenses available.

A: Demerit points remain on your Nevada driving record for 12 months from the date of the violation. However, the conviction itself stays on your record longer and can affect your insurance rates for 3-5 years or more, depending on your insurance company's policies.

A: Nevada recently changed how most traffic violations are classified. Most traffic tickets are now civil infractions rather than criminal misdemeanors. This means no criminal record for most violations. However, serious offenses like DUI, reckless driving, and hit-and-run remain criminal matters. We handle civil traffic infractions only—not criminal cases—but we can refer you to experienced criminal defense attorneys if needed.

A: Yes, in most cases. When you're convicted of a moving violation (by paying the ticket or being found guilty), points are added to your record and your insurance company is notified. This typically results in higher premiums for 3-5 years. The exact increase depends on your insurance company and driving history, but it can be substantial—often hundreds of dollars per year.
