Johnson County, Kansas Traffic Law Center | Traffic & Speeding Ticket Amendment Lawyers-Attorneys-Law Firm | Amendments, Diversions, Legal Representation

Our law office's traffic attorneys recommend that drivers attempt to "amend" or "fix" all Olathe, KS red light tickets due to the serious and lasting impact these tickets can have on auto insurance rates and driving records.

Any traffic ticket in Olathe, Kansas can cause your insurance rates to go up, but red light violations often lead to the highest insurance premium increases.  The reasoning behind these large rate increases is that Olathe intersection traffic accidents and other "right-angle" crashes in Johnson County, KS often lead to serious and debilitating personal injuries or deaths for the occupants of both vehicles, which increases an insurer's risk.  Insurers compensate for the added risk by increasing rates. 

Our law firm's traffic attorneys can represent you in Olathe, Kansas Municipal Court and negotiate with Olathe Municipal prosecutors to make sure that the ticket is not recorded on your driving record and does not cause your insurance rates to rise. These solutions include amendments to non-moving violations which do not count as "points" or negative marks on your driving record, diversions, or other advantageous resolutions.

Frequently asked questions about our Overland Park traffic attorney’s Overland Park, KS red light ticket representation:

Q.  Can your firm’s traffic lawyers keep an Overland Park red light (or other moving violation) off of my driving record?

A.  No attorney can guarantee results, but our Overland Park traffic lawyers have had a great deal of success negotiating with Overland Park Municipal Court prosecutors on red light violations/tickets to secure amendments of red light tickets to non-moving violations, usually "illegal parking."

An amendment to “illegal parking” is treated by your auto insurance carrier like an expired meter (albeit an expensive meter!) and will not be reported to your insurance company and will not appear on your driving record, regardless of the State you are licensed in.  If you are a Kansas resident, then the amended ticket won't count as a mark towards a driver's license suspension (three moving violations in a year will trigger a driver's license suspension.)  If you're a Missouri resident, then the red light amendment won't add any points to your driver's license.  

Q.  How do I hire one of your law office’s Overland Park, Kansas traffic lawyers to handle my Overland Park red light ticket?

Q.   How much will it cost to hire one of your law office’s attorneys to keep an Overland Park red light ticket off of my driving record?

A.  The cost to "fix" your ticket will vary based on the circumstances of the violation, your driving history, and other factors such as where the ticket was issued, the time the ticket was issued, and any conversations you may have had with the Overland Park police officer who wrote the ticket.  However, in Overland Park, the amended cost is usually a $250 fine.

Call our law firm at (913)764-5010 and one of our office’s traffic attorneys should be able to offer a quote for "fixing" the ticket over the phone which includes the court fines, costs, and our attorneys’ fee.  You may also send an email to: info@jocotraffic.com and someone will respond to your message.

Q.  I forgot about my ticket and missed my court date in Overland Park Municipal Court.  What happens now?

A.  If you missed your court date in Overland Park, then a warrant was almost certainly issued for your arrest.  The Court will also send notice of the missed court date to the Kansas Department of Revenue which will suspend your driver's license after 30 days have passed.

Active Overland Park traffic warrants can be served at any time, including while you are at work or home.  It is incredibly embarrassing to have a Johnson County Sheriff’s Officer show up at your work to arrest you for an unpaid Overland Park traffic ticket, so it is very important to take care of the problem immediately.
