Fight Your Louisiana Traffic Ticket & Protect Your License with Bloom Legal Network
Traffic tickets are one of the most common legal issues drivers face in Louisiana. Every day in Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Charles Parishes, drivers are stopped for speeding, running red lights, improper lane changes, or driving without proof of insurance.
For many people, a traffic ticket feels like a minor inconvenience. In reality, paying a ticket is a plea of guilty and can cost far more in the long run — not just in fines, but in thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums over several years.
Simply paying a ticket can lead to long-term damage to your driving record, higher insurance costs, and even license suspension. Protecting your license is essential to maintaining your independence, employment opportunities, and daily mobility.
At Bloom Legal Network, we make it easy to fight back. With more than 20 years of experience handling Louisiana traffic tickets, our attorneys know the process inside and out. In most cases, you do not have to appear in court — we handle the court appearance for you whenever possible.
How Serious Are Traffic Tickets in Southeast Louisiana?
Traffic enforcement is aggressive across Southeast Louisiana. Tens of thousands of tickets are issued every year in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes alone. Drivers in St. Charles Parish — including Hahnville, Destrehan, and surrounding communities — are frequently cited in areas known for strict enforcement and speed traps.
Common violations we defend include speeding, failure to yield, and improper lane changes.
While a single ticket may seem harmless, consequences add up quickly:
The Real Consequences of a Traffic Ticket
• Financial Impact: A single moving violation can raise insurance rates by hundreds of dollars per year for up to five years
• License Suspension Risk: Multiple moving violations within a short period can trigger a suspension
• Employment Issues: Many jobs require a clean driving record — especially delivery, rideshare, healthcare, and construction roles
Maintaining a clean driving record is critical. Having an experienced traffic ticket lawyer on your side can make the difference between a manageable outcome and long-term consequences.

FAQs – Louisiana Traffic Tickets
Will my insurance company definitely find out about my traffic ticket?
Yes, almost certainly. Once a traffic ticket conviction is finalized—meaning you paid the fine or were found guilty in court—the information is logged onto your official Louisiana driving record (maintained by the OMV). Insurance companies access these records (often through third-party services like LexisNexis) when you renew your policy or shop for new quotes. Fighting your ticket to achieve a dismissal or a non-moving violation is the most effective and only way to prevent it from reaching your insurer.
How long exactly will a traffic ticket affect my car insurance rates?
In Louisiana, most common moving violations typically remain visible on your driving record for three to five years from the conviction date. This means that a single mistake today can lead to thousands of dollars in increased premiums over the next 36 to 60 months. This is why immediate action and professional legal counsel are so critical.
What if I already paid my ticket? Can a lawyer still help me with my insurance?
Unfortunately, no. Paying a traffic ticket is a legally binding action that is considered an official plea of guilty. Once you have paid, the conviction is finalized and immediately reported to the OMV, making it virtually impossible to go back and retroactively fight the charge to save your insurance rates. If you have not yet paid, you still have a critical window of opportunity. Contact us immediately before your court or payment due date.
Does every type of ticket raise my insurance rates?
No. Your insurance rates are primarily affected by moving violations that demonstrate poor driving behavior (e.g., speeding, improper passing, running a stop sign). Non-moving violations, such as expired registration, illegal parking, or most equipment violations, are usually administrative in nature and typically do not cause an increase in your premium because they do not reflect a danger behind the wheel.
Do you handle traffic tickets outside of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish?
Yes, we do. While we are highly focused and have extensive experience in the courts of Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, we also regularly assist clients with tickets issued in other nearby jurisdictions across Southeast Louisiana, including St. Tammany Parish, St. Bernard Parish, and Plaquemines Parish.
