The Law Offices of Darrell Smith are conveniently located at 102 S. Cherry in Olathe, right across the street from the Johnson County Courthouse and a few blocks from Olathe Municipal Court.
A speeding or traffic ticket in Kansas can negatively affect you in many ways. First, it may cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines and court costs. Second, a speeding or traffic ticket might also cause your insurance rates to go up which could mean thousands of dollars in additional premiums over a period of several years. You may also have to wait in court for hours waiting for your case to be called, costing you time and credibility at work. Finally, if you receive too many speeding tickets or other moving violations, your license could be suspended, causing you and your family a significant hardship. Darrell Smith offers a resolution to help alleviate these concerns.
The time to ensure that a moving violation stays off your record is before you pay the ticket. Once you pay the ticket in Kansas, it counts as conviction on your driving record. Since convictions for moving violations are reported to the state, your insurance company will have access to your record and so will your employer.
Hiring an experienced speeding and traffic attorney for your ticket will help insure that your rights are protected and your case is resolved in the best manner possible. Possible remedies for speeding or traffic tickets in Kansas include diversion or amendments to non-moving violations that usually keep the traffic ticket from affecting your insurance rates. This will likely save you considerable money in the long run.
For instance, Darrell Smith can often amend a speeding ticket in Olathe to illegal parking, which is a non-moving violation and will not affect your insurance rates. Violations such as no proof of insurance, driving while suspended or expired tags may be dismissed or offered a diversion after Darrell has a chance to speak to the prosecutor about your case.
