higher insurance premiums for years to come.
You might think that there is no way to
defend against a school zone ticket, but our
Washington State speeding ticket attorneys
successfully defend hundreds of clients just
like you every year. Considering the costly
nature of the penalties you face, it makes
sense to utilize one of our Washington

In Washington State,
speed limits in
school zones are
always 20 MPH.
Recognized school
zones also include
roadway that extends
300 feet in any
direction from a
crosswalk. People
are commonly
ticketed for going
only 5 MPH over the
legal Washington
school zone legal
speed limit. A
Washington State
school zone lawyer
can help legally
challenge your
school zone ticket
so as to avoid the
expensive
repercussions.
How We Defend Against Washington School Zone
Speeding Tickets
First and foremost, our WA school zone
ticket attorneys will do everything possible
to have your Washington school zone ticket
dismissed. However, this is not always
possible. So the next step is fighting to
keep your school zone ticket off of your
driving record, and keep your insurance
rates low.
Building an aggressive defense against a
school zone ticket requires experience with
Washington traffic laws, and an
understanding of the technicalities involved
with every traffic stop. We commonly see
people defend themselves against WA school
zone tickets, and they are almost always
unsuccessful.
Accidently speeding in a
school zone does not constitute a defense,
as the law does not have an intent
requirement. Also, a Judge cannot reduce the
penalty for speeding in a school zone, so an
understanding of the law is vital toward
establishing a sound defense.
Our Washington school zone attorneys will
look at the details of your particular case.
We will dissect the procedural aspects of
your case to determine if any mistakes were
made when your ticket was written, and if it
was properly filed. Next, we will pay
special attention to the calibration of any
speed-measuring devices used to determine
your rate of speed at the time of the
incident.
When you hire one of our Washington State
school zone ticket lawyer, you are hiring an
experienced professional who will work as
your personal advocate.
We Handle the Details, So You Don’t Have To
If you have been cited with a Washington
school zone speeding infraction you should
call us today, as time is of the essence.
The law imposes deadlines that you must meet
if you are going to contest your ticket,
attempt to mitigate it, or even if you are
going to simply pay for the infraction.
Missing the deadline will cause the court to
automatically adjudicate that you are guilty
of the offense, and any fines could be sent
to a collection agency. Ultimately, failing
to respond to your Washington school zone
speeding ticket could result in a license
suspension.
Utilizing one of our Washington school zone
ticket lawyers will take this entire burden
off of you and put it squarely on us. We
will work to build an aggressive defense,
and in most cases there is nothing more you
need do at any time throughout the process.
We file the paperwork with the court. We do
the legwork. We will make sure your legal
rights are being protected.
Our Washington State school zone attorneys
are experienced and aggressive trial lawyers
who will fight on your behalf to get your
ticket dismissed.
