Traffic ticket attorney explains
We are getting many e-mails from our clients with all kinds of questions about moving violations, traffic tickets or how to pay for traffic tickets in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In this article, you will find many answers.
Definition of a traffic ticket
A traffic ticket in Nevada is any citation that relates to a motor vehicle that is less than a Reckless Driving.
Two categories of traffic tickets in Nevada:
- Moving violations
- Non-moving violations
Moving violations
A moving violation traffic ticket is usually issued for failing to obey a law that has to do with operating the vehicle.
It may include:
- Speeding
- Failure to obey a traffic control device (aka, running a red light or stop sign)
- Failure to use due care
- Failure to yield to a pedestrian
- Failure to signal
Traffic tickets for moving violations can put demerit points on your license, result in raising your insurance payments and, in some cases, the license suspension.
Although every case is unique, a traffic ticket attorney usually can drop the demerit points so you can keep your license and keep your insurance low.
Non-moving violations
A traffic ticket for a non-moving violation is issued for failing to have the proper documents or maintenance of a vehicle.
Traffic tickets for non-moving violations include:
- No insurance
- Driving on a suspended driver’s license
- No registration
- Fix-it tickets (aka, broken headlamps, tail lights, bumpers)
Non-moving violations often carry very high fines. A good traffic ticket attorney can reduce or even dismiss these traffic tickets with proof that the reason for the citation has been fixed.
Even if you have not fixed the reason for getting the ticket, the traffic ticket attorney can get you extra time to fix it and, by doing that, will save you money.
How to pay the traffic ticket
Common ways for a person to pay a traffic ticket include:
- Over-the-phone
- In person, at the traffic ticket court counter
- And over the Internet
Before you pay your citation, it may be a good idea to contact a Las Vegas traffic ticket attorney. Often fines and demerit points can be reduced or even dismissed.

Speeding tickets & moving violations
A speeding ticket is considered a moving violation. All moving violations carry points against your license. These points not only increase your insurance premiums but can eventually suspend your license.
The traffic ticket attorney can negotiate a moving violation, like a speeding ticket, to a non-moving violation, like a parking ticket. Added fines may be required.
Once the moving violation is amended to a non-moving violation, the points attached to the original charge disappear.
If you are our former and current client, we will handle traffic tickets free of charge.
