Knoxville DUI Lawyer

Speeding Ticket Lawyer

Robert Kurtz has handled hundreds of traffic citations in Municipal Court and General Sessions Court in Knoxville and the rest of Tennessee. Speeding, reckless driving, careless driving and other moving violations can affect your insurance and driving privileges.

Many drivers elect to pay their ticket rather than contest it in court. An experienced traffic citation attorney can handle the case for you, often saving you from having to go to court. Most drivers do not realize that a conviction for speeding or other moving violation will result in points on your license, possible suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, and higher insurance premiums.

If you can not afford a conviction for speeding or other moving violation, please contact Robert Kurtz.
