St. Peters Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Missouri Reckless Driving Attorney
If left unresolved, traffic tickets can lead to significant legal complications, including the suspension of your driver’s license, fines, even jail time. Additionally, since insurance companies receive information regarding traffic violations and traffic tickets, your insurance premiums will increase and you may be required to purchase SR-22 insurance. Depending on the specifics of your case, however, it may be possible to reduce the charges or sentence against you. In cases involving serious traffic violations, you may not be aware of all of the ramifications of a guilty plea. There may be restrictions placed against your license or other requirements the arresting officer may not have fully explained. For these and other reasons, it’s important to talk to an attorney first before paying a ticket.

Traffic Violations
The Weber Law Firm, L.C., represents clients in regard to the following kinds of traffic violations:
- Driving while suspended
- Hit and run — leaving the scene of an accident
- Careless and imprudent driving
- Excessive speeding
- Running a stop sign or stop light

Driving While Suspended Violations
Driving with a suspended license is a Class A misdemeanor in Missouri. If you’re convicted of driving with a suspended license, you could lose your driving privileges for up to a year. Additionally, the penalties for a Class A misdemeanor include up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
Here, working with an experienced traffic violations attorney who understands how to position your case can mean the difference between losing your license and having it restricted.
Hit and Run — Leaving the Scene of an Accident
There are a number of issues that arise in hit and run cases: did you stop and decide the damage was insignificant before leaving? Were you even aware you struck another car or pedestrian? Or, were you even driving at the time the accident occurred? For these reasons, it’s important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible after being charged with leaving the scene of an accident. If you plead “guilty” to the charge, you will automatically lose your license for a year. Even if you did leave the scene of an accident, the court may be willing to reduce the charges or sentence against you, depending on the specifics of your case.
