While traffic violations might seem like a minor thing, they are still technically a criminal charge and can have a serious negative impact on your life. If, for example, you collect too many points on your license, you can temporarily lose your driving privileges. Insurance companies can also increase your rates when your violations start to accumulate. More serious violations like drunk driving or manslaughter using a motor vehicle can result in jail time. It's important to take traffic violations seriously. As an experienced North Carolina traffic violations attorney, I can protect your rights and fight to protect you from the harshest consequences of a traffic charge.
Protecting Your License And Insurance Rates
I provide determined defense against a range of traffic violations to keep points off your license and you on the road, including:
- Speeding
- Running a stop sign or red light
- Failure to yield
- Reckless driving
- Driving with a suspended license
- Drag racing
- Failure to stop at a railroad crossing
Many people would rather simply pay the fine associated with a traffic ticket and be done with it. However, paying the ticket means you are pleading guilty to the charge. If you already have too many points on your license, you may not be able to afford pleading guilty to another charge without losing your ability to drive. If you are in that situation, you need a lawyer to protect your freedom and your ability to continue driving. I represent clients with traffic offenses in New Hanover, Carteret and Pender counties.

Don't let that one last ticket turn into an unwanted surprise of raised insurance rates or a suspended license. Call my Wilmington office at 910-782-2962 for a free initial consultation. You can also reach me online to get more information.
