What Do We Do? How Much Does it Cost?
When appearing before a clerk magistrate to appeal a civil motor
vehicle infraction (CMVI) such as a speeding ticket, our lawyers
have extensive experience in each District Court where the appeal
is heard. As a result, the best possible result often happens:
Not Responsible. See cases
results >>
We can also successfully appeal before a Judge if this is required.
The attorneys covering the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have
over 10 years experience in the individual District Court, and
many are former court or law enforcement officials prior to entering
law school. Attorney Nathan guides
each lawyer in this process. Attorney Nathan will also regularly
appear in Court throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
on behalf of motorists and he is respected by court officials
for his advocacy and his persuasive skills.
The fee for hiring a lawyer to represent you at the magistrate
hearing will easily exceed the cost of the ticket.
Fees start at a minimum of $950 (for
reinstatement of hearing rights), fees for basic speeding ticket
defense are $1500. Fees
for other traffic offenses, operating to endanger, driver's license
appeals, and related matters are dependent on the circumstances
and will be discussed with Attorney Nathan on a case by case
basis. We will meet existing on-line competitor's prices for criminal matters under certain conditions. Please ask for further details during consultation.
Why? Fighting a straight speeding ticket is not easy. It requires
experience and familiarity with the magistrate proceeding. A
lawyer may travel to the court and present your case using his
experience and training. This is not cheap. People wishing to
fight these cases see the cost of hiring a lawyer in relation
to the total situation. Three speeding fines in one year can
result in a suspension of your driver's license, this along with
high insurance costs and other considerations make fighting a
ticket worth it. A single speeding ticket may cost you nearly
$500-$1000 in insurance surcharges per year, a single ticket
may therefore cost you $3000 or more.
The main office for Speedingticketdefense is located two blocks
from the Registry of Motor Vehicles/Division of Insurance. Our
lawyers therefore have an easy and direct location near where
the hearings are scheduled for all drivers license matters. Affiliated
offices are also located throughout Massachusetts, serving nearly
every court.
