South Carolina Speeding Ticket Defense Attorney

I am attorney Ray Lord of the Lord Law Firm, LLC, and my Irmo law office has been helping people fight speeding tickets for years. I am a former police officer and prosecutor, and in those roles, I handled thousands of traffic ticket cases. I put that experience on both sides of the traffic law to work for you.

Knowledgeable, Cost-Effective and Successful

Because of my former work experience, I am familiar with the police and prosecutorial procedures and the kinds of mistakes that they commonly make when handling speeding tickets. I know how to negotiate and settle cases well before trial. However, if I see that you have a strong case to fight your speeding tickets and the prosecutor won't budge, I will fully and aggressively defend you in court.

Putting My Experience to Work for You

In South Carolina, you have a right to a jury trial for any offense, even to fight a speeding ticket. If everyone who got a speeding ticket chose to exercise this right, the system would be much more clogged than it already is. Prosecutors are aware of this, and that is why they are often willing to reduce the speeding charge to a lesser violation just to get the case through the system. This is true even if the person was going 15 or more miles an hour over the speed limit.

That's why, even if you believe you have been speeding and are tempted to pay the fine and plead guilty, you should still consider exercising your constitutional rights to a lawyer and fighting the charges.

Seek Dismissal or a Reduction of the Charges to a Non-Moving Violation

I frequently can get a charge either dismissed or changed to a non-moving violation, which involves a rewrite of a ticket. If I do not think that this is possible, I will tell you so in a free initial consultation. I believe in establishing an open line of communication with my clients as part of my commitment to them and returning their phone calls and e-mails promptly.
