Speeding charges in Ohio
Speeding is charged when an officer alleges you drove faster than the posted or presumed limit, typically measured by radar, lidar, or pacing. It is the most common moving violation and the one most often reduced or dismissed with the right defense. In Ohio, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Ohio BMV suspension threshold of 12 points in 2 years, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Speeding ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Attorneys frequently challenge radar/lidar calibration logs, the officer's training and line of sight, pacing accuracy, and whether the posted limit was properly signed.
What's at stake in Ohio
A speeding conviction adds points in most states and is the leading cause of avoidable insurance surcharges. In Ohio, points accumulate toward suspension at 12 points in 2 years.
Prevent insurance increases
A speeding conviction can raise Ohio premiums by roughly 27% — often for three years. Fighting the ticket can prevent that.
Flat fee, no financial risk
You pay a one-time flat fee regardless of how much attorney time your case takes. If we can't match you, you pay nothing.
