Probably easier to tell you what not to do. In Miami-Dade County when the officer asks you if you know why he pulled you over, do not say, “Because I was speeding”. If you do, you just confessed. Just say “no officer”. Do not argue. Do not make excuses. Do not beg. Just take the ticket and be respectful. Your job is to remain as anonymous as possible. If he does not remember you, we will have an easier time beating the traffic ticket for you.

But here’s the part they don’t tell you: Even a simple ticket can cost you big—in ways you might not expect. That “minor” infraction? It can lead to thousands of dollars in higher insurance premiums, and those price hikes can stick around for years—three or more after you pay the ticket. Plus, too many points on your license in Miami-Dade can get your driving privileges suspended, and let’s face it, losing your license in South Florida is nobody’s idea of fun. That’s why it pays to fight back, even if this is your first offense.

Traffic court isn’t just you, a folding chair, and a bored judge. You’ll likely be facing a Miami law enforcement officer who’s testified hundreds of times and knows the drill. Their job is to make sure those charges stick. Ours is to find every angle, every defense, and every technicality to help reduce your fine, protect your record, and keep your insurance rates from skyrocketing.
