Las Vegas Red Light Ticket Attorney
A red light or stop sign ticket in Clark County carries 4 demerit points — one of the highest point values for any standard moving violation in Nevada. That's a third of the way to a suspended license, and enough to trigger a significant insurance rate increase. Cap & Kudler fights these tickets across Clark County courts for a flat fee of $100–$200.
Why 4 Points Is a Big Deal
Nevada suspends your license at 12 points within 12 months. A single red light conviction puts you a third of the way there — before you've picked up any other tickets. Stack two red light tickets in the same year and you're at 8 points, four away from losing your license entirely.
| Violation | Points | Typical Fine |
|---|---|---|
| Red light / stop sign | 4 points | $294–$415 |
| Speeding (31+ mph over) | 4 points | $415 |
| Speeding (21–30 mph over) | 3 points | $305 |
| Speeding (11–20 mph over) | 2 points | $195 |
| Reckless driving | 8 points | Varies |
Courts may charge up to $100 in additional demerit reduction fees (since January 2023).
What Cap & Kudler Can Do for Your Red Light Ticket
Most clients want their ticket negotiated down to a non-moving violation — no points, no DMV report, no insurance impact. In cases where the facts support it, we contest the ticket outright.
Officer-Issued vs. Camera Tickets
The defense strategy depends on how the ticket was issued. Officer-issued red light tickets must meet specific evidentiary requirements — if they don't, the case can be dismissed. Camera-issued tickets involve separate procedural rules around notice and chain of custody. We handle both types across all Clark County courts.
How It Works
Share a copy of your ticket and the court deadline. That's usually all we need to get started.
We'll tell you what outcome is realistic — negotiation, dismissal, or contest — and what the process looks like for your specific court.
Filings, court appearances, prosecutor negotiations — we take care of it. You'll hear from us when there's an outcome.
Flat-Fee Pricing
No hourly rates. No surprise billing. Our fee is $100 or $200 depending on your case — often less than the court fine alone, and a fraction of what a 4-point conviction will cost you in higher insurance premiums over the next few years.
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Red light / stop sign ticket negotiation | $100 |
| Contested red light / stop sign defense | $200 |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many points does a red light ticket add in Nevada?
A red light or stop sign conviction adds 4 demerit points to your Nevada driving record. That's the same as driving 31+ mph over the speed limit — and one of the highest point values for a standard moving violation.
Can I fight a red light ticket even if I went through it?
Yes. The citation and the officer must meet specific legal requirements regardless of what happened at the intersection. If those requirements aren't satisfied, the case can be challenged — and dismissed.
What does a red light ticket cost in Clark County?
A 4-point conviction typically carries a fine of $294–$415, plus courts may charge up to $100 in demerit reduction fees. Add the likely insurance rate increase on top of that, and the total cost of just paying the ticket is often several times higher than our flat fee.
Do I have to go to court?
No. When you hire Cap & Kudler, we appear on your behalf. Most clients never set foot in a courtroom.
What's the difference between a red light camera ticket and an officer-issued ticket?
Camera-issued tickets and officer-issued tickets involve different procedural requirements and defenses. We handle both — contact us with your citation and we'll explain what applies to your specific case.
How long does it take to resolve?
It depends on the court and whether your case is negotiated or contested. Negotiated resolutions can move faster; contested cases in Las Vegas Justice Court are typically resolved within about five months.
