Core Violations We Defend (Your Legal Hub)
Our Kansas City traffic lawyers specialize in specific Missouri and Kansas statutes. Click a violation below to learn about the amendment process and how we protect your record.
Speeding Tickets
Whether you were caught in a local “speeding ticket KC” trap or cited for a high-speed highway violation, a single conviction can spike your insurance for years. Our attorneys specialize in amending speeding tickets to non-moving violations for a transparent $75 flat fee, keeping your record clean without a court appearance
No Insurance & Registration
Driving without proof of insurance in Missouri is a serious 4-point violation that often leads to an immediate license suspension. We help drivers navigate the “Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility” process by providing proper documentation to the court to protect your driving privileges.
Careless & Imprudent
A Careless and Imprudent driving charge is one of the most aggressive citations in Missouri, carrying heavy point penalties and potential criminal implications. Our legal team focuses on C&I defense, negotiating these high-point charges down to non-moving infractions to safeguard your license and your future.
Driving While Suspended
Facing a DWS or DWSR charge in Kansas City can result in jail time and a permanent criminal record if not handled correctly. We provide expert license reinstatement services and criminal defense to resolve the underlying issues and get you back on the road legally.
Traffic Warrants
If you missed a court date, an active bench warrant could lead to an arrest at any time. We specialize in “recalling” traffic warrants and resolving the original tickets simultaneously—often in a single legal step—to keep you out of custody and clear your name.
Missouri Point System
The Missouri Department of Revenue tracks every moving violation, and accumulating just 8 points in 18 months will trigger a mandatory license suspension. Before you pay your fine and “plead guilty,” check our 2025 point assessment table to see exactly how your ticket will affect your record.

Traffic Ticket Lawyer in Kansas City: Protect Your License and Your Future
Getting a ticket is a headache; keeping it on your record is a disaster.
Whether you were caught in a “speeding ticket KC” trap or cited for a more complex moving violation, you’re likely facing two major threats: rising insurance premiums and points on your Missouri driving record. Since 2016, our firm has stood as a shield for drivers across the metro.
We don’t just “handle” cases. We navigate the local court systems to ensure a simple mistake doesn’t turn into a permanent mark on your history.
Why Hire a Kansas City Traffic Lawyer Instead of Just Paying?
Many drivers think paying the fine is the “easy way out”. In reality, paying that fine is a legal admission of guilt. In Missouri, that admission triggers an automatic assessment of points.
When you work with a dedicated traffic lawyer in Kansas City, our primary goal is “The Amendment”. We negotiate with prosecutors to reduce your moving violation to a non-moving “littering” charge.
The Result: * No Points: Your driving record stays clean.
No Insurance Spikes: Your provider never sees a moving violation.
No Court: In most cases, we appear on your behalf so you don’t miss work.
Understanding the Missouri Point System
Don’t stay in the dark about your status. Your license is at risk of suspension if you accumulate 8 points in 18 months.
We encourage all our clients to review the Missouri Point System Guide to understand exactly what is at stake with your current ticket. If you are a CDL holder or under 21, the rules are even stricter—making professional legal representation a necessity, not an option.
Serving Local Courts Throughout the Metro
A “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work in traffic law. Each municipality—from Independence and Lee’s Summit to Blue Springs—has its own set of rules and prosecutors.
Our attorneys live and work in the Kansas City Metro. We know these courts, we know the people behind the bench, and we know how to get results.
Ready to Fix Your Ticket? The Process is Simple.
Submit Your Ticket: Use our secure form to tell us about your citation.
Get Your Quote: We provide a transparent flat fee (starting at $75 for basic tickets).
We Handle the Rest: We file the paperwork, negotiate the deal, and send you the final resolution.
