Here’s some advice from someone who’s been fighting Miami, Florida speeding tickets, traffic offenses other traffic citations and infractions for well over 25 years – and winning!
A traffic ticket defense attorney like Albert M. Quirantes at the Ticket Law Center, in Florida can appear for you at all stages, fight these tickets, get them off of your record, save you thousands of $$ on insurance rate increases and give you piece of mind — all VERY INEXPENSIVELY!
This service is often much cheaper than the ticket itself in many cases and will DEFINITELY save you many times the fee in the long run.

In Florida, a traffic ticket accusation must be proven in Court beyond a reasonable doubt. As important is the fact that all evidence gathered by the use of a mechanical or electronic speed measuring device is inadmissible — unless the officer first does something known as “laying a predicate”.
This means, if you exercise your right to go to Court or if you have a mandatory court appearance type speeding citation, you have a right to object to any speed measuring evidence and the officer must show you all of the documentation on the unit used to clock you – calibrations, certifications, log, tests for speed accuracy, etc.
Your lawyer can do all the heavy lifting for you, using the correct Florida Statutes, Rules Governing the Admissibility of Speed Measuring Devices under the Florida Administrative Code, Rules of Evidence, Rules of Traffic Court Procedure & Legal Precedents known as “Case Law”. You don’t have to lift a finger!
“I typically use 12 different “motions” or attacks on the admissibility of speed measuring evidence alone“ says Quirantes, adding, ” not counting other defenses, such as correct statute, proper service, proper invocation of jurisdiction, proper notice, and the list goes on…”.
The GOOD NEWS is that you don’t need to know all of this and you NEVER need to appear if you hire the right lawyer. A traffic defense lawyer is surprisingly inexpensive and in most cases you will pay much less than paying for the ticket!
Florida Speeding Tickets can run between $159 and $600 on the average and some are in excess of $1,000.00. (50 MPH over speed limit). Plus, you will probably get hammered on insurance rate increases ($1500 to $2000 over 3 years in many cases) for 3-5 years and have a record which lasts 10 years.
In “mandatory hearing” Speeding Ticket Cases (those over 30 mph over limit), some Judges are suspending driver’s licenses for arbitrary amounts of time, as is currently allowed by Florida law.
