A moving violation from Mission, Kansas, or elsewhere in Johnson County can have a serious negative effect on your driver's license and auto insurance rates, even if you have a perfect driving record.  The Kansas Insurance Commissioner states that insurance companies in Kansas are required to give "good driver" discounts, which can be lost with even one moving violation on your record. 

Premium increases can last for years and be anywhere from 5% to double!  Drivers with multiple tickets on their record will often see the highest increases as insurance companies consider them higher risks than otehr drivers.  In nearly every case it is worth it to hire a Mission traffic lawyer to attempt to keep the ticket off of your record. 

If you or someone you know has been issued a speeding or traffic citation from a Mission Kansas police officer, my law firm can help minimize the negative effects.  My law firm's Mission traffic lawyer may be able to amend or "fix" the Mission speeding/traffic citation by negotiating with Mission municipal prosecutors to turn the ticket into a parking ticket or by securing a diversion, depending on the circumstances of the ticket.

Red light ticket amendment representation in Mission, Kansas:

Red light violations usually come in one of two types, either the traditional "running" of a red light, or when drivers "turn right on red" without coming to a complete stop.  These tickets can have a huge effect on auto insurance rates because vehicle collisions involving cars running red lights often lead to serious injuries or fatalities.

A good Mission traffic attorney can amend many red light tickets issue by Mission, Kansas police officers, even if you were involved in a traffic accident.  These amendments are usually to non-moving violations such as "illegal parking," which will not negatively affect your driving history or auto insurance rates.

Driving while suspended (DWS) lawyer in Mission Municipal Court:

Driving while suspended is a misdemeanor offense which can lead to jail time, serious fines, and longer driver's license suspensions.  The penalties increase with subsequent convicitons, so it is crucial to hire an attorney to handle every driving while suspended (DWS) case in Johnson County or elsewhere in Kansas. 

My firm's traffic attorney can help with Mission driving while suspended/revoked cases in a number of ways.  First, I may be able to secure a diversion, dismissal, or amendment to the suspended license charge.  I may also be able to help you avoid jail time by arranging a good plea agreement. 

My ability to help you depends on your driving record and the circumstances of each case, so you will need to contact me at info@missiontrafficlawyers.com as soon as possible.

Stop sign citation amendment lawyers in Mission, Kansas:

If you have been issued a stop sign violation in Mission, KS, my firm's traffic attorney may be able to negotiate with Mission prosecutors to keep the stop sign ticket off of your driving record.

My office's Mission traffic attorney will meet with the prosecutor and negotiate a resolution to a non-moving violation which won't add points to your license or cause your car insurance rates to go up.

Following too closely ticket amendments in Mission, Kansas:

Following too closely is often a judgment call by the Mission police officer issuing the ticket.  This charge seems especially unfair during high traffic times when the driver cannot leave a "safe" following distance because of the flow of traffic.

My firm's lawyer can amend Mission following too closely tickets to non-moving violations which will ensure that your driving record stays clean and your insurance rates do not go up because of the ticket.

Failure to yield violations in Mission Kansas:

Failure to yield tickets are often written as a result of traffic accidents, however Mission Police officers sometimes confuse these tickets with "failure to yield to an emergency vehicle," which is a completely different violation that is written when a person does not move over for a police officer, EMT, fire truck, or other vehicle with red and blue lights activated.

I can negotiate with Mission Municipal Prosecutors to amend either failure to yield or "failure to yield to an emergency vehicle" charge, however the emergency vehicle charge is more expensive than the normal failure to yield ticket.

Call us at (913)764-5010 to learn how we can help you and what the expected cost to amend your ticket will be.

Lane violation tickets in Mission, Kansas:

Lane violation ("illegal lane change")tickets in Mission can be due to a number of reasons.  These tickets may be issued because a driver weaves out of their lane, drives on a lane line (fog line or dotted line), or turns outside of the inside lane.

These tickets are moving violations, as such, my Mission traffic attorney recommends that you have these tickets amended so they do not appear on your driving record and do not cause your insurance rates to rise because of the traffic citation.

Turn violation tickets in Mission, Kansas:

Turn violations can be issued for either an improper turn, such as turning into an outside lane, or for failing to properly use a turn signal.  I can usually ensure that these do not end up as a moving violation, preventing points from being assessed to your license or auto insurance premium increases.

Traffic tickets issued as a result of auto accidents in Mission, Kansas:

If you were issued a traffic ticket due to an auto accident in Mission, Kansas, a traffic attorney may be able to help keep it off of your record.  Factors include the nature of the crash, whether anyone was killed or suffered personal injuries in the Mission automobile crash, and whether alcohol was involved.

The process for "fixing" Johnson County accident-related traffic tickets is complicated and varies greatly in each case, so call my law office at (913)764-5010 to speak to a traffic attorney about your Mission, Kansas auto accident. My office's Mission traffic lawyer has successfully amended dozens of Mission traffic tickets involving auto accidents, with or without injuries or hospitalization.
