Traffic Offenses

If you have received a traffic citation or been arrested for a DWI, you should consult with an attorney prior to paying the citation or going to Court. Most people are unaware of the serious consequences of even a simple speeding conviction in North Carolina. Your automobile insurance may increase substantially for the next three years. Speeding over 55 mph and more than 15 miles per hour over the speed limit will get your driver’s license suspended. Speeding in a work zone will cost you a $250 fine plus $100 court costs. Hiring an experienced attorney is well worth the expense which is usually just a small fraction of the potential insurance premium increase. If you have been arrested for a DWI or driving with a revoked license, an experienced attorney can explain your options and defenses to these charges. I charge no fee for an initial consultation in traffic cases.
