Common Questions

Wisconsin Traffic Ticket Defense. FAQ

Do I need a lawyer for a Wisconsin traffic ticket?

Many Wisconsin traffic tickets carry demerit points, fines, court costs, and insurance risk. Hiring a traffic attorney often costs less than the long-term cost of a moving conviction, and in most civil cases the attorney can appear in court on your behalf so you do not miss work. WisDOT says most traffic convictions are eligible for removal from the driving record after 5 years.

What counties does Wisconsin Ticket Specialists defend?

We defend traffic and ordinance citations throughout Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties in southeastern Wisconsin. Every municipal court in those counties plus the Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth County Circuit Courts. We handle tickets issued by local police departments, the county sheriffs, and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

How much does a Wisconsin traffic ticket lawyer cost?

Our fees are flat and quoted upfront after a free case review. Most civil speeding and moving-violation cases resolve for a fee that is often less than the long-term insurance and driving-record cost of simply paying the ticket.

Do I have to appear in court for my Wisconsin ticket?

For most civil traffic cases in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties we appear in court on your behalf. You do not take time off work. Criminal traffic matters (reckless driving, OWI, operating after revocation) heard in County Circuit Court typically require your appearance, and we appear with you.
