Frequently asked questions
Does Montana use red light cameras?
No — Montana law prohibits automated photo enforcement, so every signal ticket comes from an officer's observation, which an attorney can test and challenge in court.
Can a signal violation be reduced in Montana?
Frequently. Montana prosecutors regularly agree to amend signal and stop sign charges to non-moving violations, especially for drivers with clean records. An attorney in our network handles that negotiation for you.
Is a stop sign ticket the same as a red light ticket in Montana?
They're closely related right-of-way violations with similar fines and point values, and the defense playbook — negotiation toward a no-point amendment — is the same for both.
What does paying the ticket actually cost me?
Paying is a conviction: points on your MVD record and roughly three years of insurance surcharges. That total routinely exceeds the cost of having an attorney fight it.
