Traffic Ticket Lawyer New Orleans & Jefferson Parish
Fight Your Louisiana Traffic Ticket 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, hundreds of drivers are stopped for speeding, running a red light, driving without insurance, or other moving violations.
For many people, a ticket feels like a minor inconvenience. But the truth is, paying your ticket outright can cost you far more than the fine itself, including more money in the long run due to fines and increased insurance rates.
Simply paying a ticket can have potential consequences, such as long-term effects on your driving record and higher insurance costs. Protecting your driving privileges is essential to maintain your independence and mobility.
At Bloom Legal Network, we make it easy to fight back. With more than 20 years of experience, our attorneys know the courts, the prosecutors, and the process. In most cases, you don’t even have to appear in court — we do it for you.
How Common Are Traffic Tickets in Louisiana?
Getting a ticket isn’t rare. According to Louisiana traffic statistics, tens of thousands of tickets are issued every year in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes alone. Drivers in nearby St. Charles Parish — including Hahnville, Destrehan, and surrounding areas — also regularly face citations that carry the same long-term consequences if left unchallenged.
Speeding, failure to yield, and improper lane changes are among the most common traffic violations.
That means almost everyone who drives regularly in Louisiana will face a ticket at some point. And while one ticket may not seem serious, the consequences can add up quickly:
- A single speeding ticket can raise your insurance rates by hundreds of dollars per year.
- Three or more moving violations within 12 months can result in a suspended driver’s license.
- Employers who require a clean driving record may see a ticket as a liability.
The importance of maintaining a clean driving record and a valid driver’s license cannot be overstated, as it is essential for both personal mobility and professional opportunities. This is why having a trusted attorney by your side is so important.

Frequently Asked Questions About 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.
