Get Help Fighting Your Speeding Ticket
A speeding ticket may seem minor, but it can have serious consequences, both for your finances and your driving privileges. Simply paying the ticket is equivalent to pleading guilty. By doing so, you lose your opportunity to challenge the ticket. That’s why it’s wise to first consult with an experienced traffic ticket lawyer.
At Thompson Law Office, we provide aggressive, experienced legal representation for clients facing speeding tickets and other traffic violations throughout Central Kentucky.

Based in Lexington, we also focus our practice in Fayette, Madison, Clark, Bourbon, Woodford, Scott, Jessamine, Garrard and Franklin counties.
Why You Shouldn’t Just Pay The Ticket
Paying a speeding ticket may seem like the easiest option, but it’s not always the smartest. In Kentucky, you are admitting guilt by paying the fine. This can result in:
- Points on your driving record
- Increased insurance premiums
- Risk of license suspension
- A permanent mark on your driving history
If you’ve received a speeding ticket or been cited for a traffic violation, it’s worth speaking with a speeding ticket lawyer before taking action. Our attorneys can evaluate your case, identify potential defenses, negotiate on your behalf for a better outcome, and help you avoid or reduce the penalties.
How We Can Help
We assist with all speeding-related citations, including:
Speeding Tickets And Related Traffic Violations
Kentucky classifies speeding offenses based on how far over the limit a driver was traveling. Minor infractions may result in fines and points on your license, while speeding more than 26 mph over the limit can trigger a mandatory court appearance and possible license suspension.
Speeding is generally considered a noncriminal offense. However, serious criminal charges like reckless driving, drag racing or DUI/DWI can also be tied to excessive speed. Convictions for these offenses can result in steeper fines, potential jail time or probation, a suspended license and a criminal record. Our lawyers know how to fight these allegations, negotiate with prosecutors, pursue a trial if necessary, and work toward dismissal or reduction of charges whenever possible.
Commercial Driver Violations
If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), a traffic ticket can threaten your livelihood. Our traffic ticket lawyers understand the stakes and fight to protect your driving privileges and career.
