Meet Attorney Ryan Sulte – Tampa Traffic Defense Lawyer
Attorney Ryan Sulte is a Tampa native and founder of the Sulte Law Firm. A double graduate of the University of Florida and member of The Florida Bar since 2001, Ryan has spent more than 20 years defending criminal and traffic cases throughout the Tampa Bay area.
Over the course of his career, Ryan has handled more than 10,000 traffic and criminal matters—from routine speeding tickets to complex license-suspension cases and serious DUI charges.
What sets Ryan apart:
- Decades of focused traffic and criminal defense experience
- Deep familiarity with Hillsborough County judges, prosecutors, and court procedures
- Straightforward, no-nonsense advice—no scare tactics, no false promises
- Personalized attention—every client is treated as a person, not a case number
Why You Shouldn’t Just Pay Your Florida Traffic Ticket
Paying a ticket may seem like the fastest way to move on, but it’s often the most expensive choice long term.
When you simply pay a Florida traffic citation:
- You’re admitting guilt to the offense.
- Points are added to your driving record.
- Your insurance company can raise your premiums.
- Enough points in a short period can lead to a license suspension.
In some cases, you may be told to attend traffic school to avoid points, but that still costs time and money. Traffic school doesn’t work in every situation either. Our goal at Sulte Law Firm is to explore every option to help you avoid points, traffic school, and unnecessary court appearances whenever possible.
How Sulte Law Firm Protects Your Driving Record
Every traffic ticket is unique. We look at the details of your case to identify legal and factual defenses that can lead to a dismissal, reduction of charges, or reduced penalties such as no points and no traffic school. Results depend on the facts, but common strategies include
- Challenging radar, laser, or pacing evidence
- Questioning the officer’s observations and procedures
- Investigating improper signage or unclear lane markings
- Negotiating with the prosecutor for a reduced charge
- Seeking outcomes that avoid points and insurance increases
In many cases, we can handle the entire process without you having to go to court. That means no time off work, no standing in lines, and no dealing with courtroom stress.
