How much does a traffic ticket lawyer cost?
Traffic ticket lawyers usually charge a flat fee per ticket. With Tickets Gone, most tickets start at $52, and you see your exact price on screen before you sign anything.
What sets the price of a traffic ticket lawyer
- The violation. A basic speeding ticket is simpler than a school zone, construction zone or high-speed ticket.
- The court. Some municipal courts take more appearances or paperwork than others.
- Your license. Commercial driver (CDL) tickets have stricter rules and usually cost more to defend.
- Complications. A missed court date, a warrant or an accident adds work.

Is a lawyer worth it for a traffic ticket?
Paying a ticket is a conviction, and it goes on your Texas driving record where insurance companies can see it. A conviction can cost more over the next few years than the ticket itself. An attorney can look for a better result first, such as a dismissal, deferred disposition, a driving safety course or a reduced charge, depending on the ticket and the court. No outcome is promised, but you see the options before you decide.

Questions, answered
Is the fee the same as the fine?
No. The firm's fee pays for the attorney. Court fines and costs, if the court imposes any, are separate.
Why do some tickets cost more?
Some violations take more work or carry more risk, for example speeding 25 or more over the limit or a school zone ticket. The price on screen already reflects that.
Are there hidden fees?
No. You see the flat fee before you sign the agreement, and that is the fee.
What if my ticket can't be priced online?
CDL tickets, tickets from an accident and tickets with a warrant need an attorney to look first. The firm's team calls you with a price.
