Traffic Violation Defense

If you have received a speeding ticket or have been charged with a traffic violation in Guilford County or the Greensboro-High Point metro area, you need a Guilford County attorney.

It is never in your best interest to “just pay a traffic ticket,” and plead guilty. Hiring an experience North Carolina traffic lawyer could save you a significant amount of money in the long run. Additionally, many times our lawyers can handle your traffic ticket without you having to go to court.

If you have received a speeding ticket or traffic citation, points may be added to your driving record. These points will eventually cause your insurance rates to increase and could eventually cause your driver’s license to be revoked. The question most drivers ask is how can a lawyer help me, why should I not just pay the ticket and move on. If you pay a ticket for a traffic violation, you are pleading guilty and accepting the maximum penalty against you, including driving and insurance points. Often our Greensboro traffic attorneys can often negotiate reduced fines, lesser charges, and lower penalties. Such results often save our clients from the significant increases in insurance rates that our clients would have experienced if our lawyers did not negotiate a reduction in charges.

For example, it may be possible to have certain speeding tickets dismissed or reduced to an improper equipment infraction that carries no points. Such an outcome will eliminate the points you would have received and keep your insurance rates down. For example, a guilty plea for speeding more than 10 mph over a 65 mph speed limit may result in a 80% increase in your insurance rates , causing a 500.00 yearly premium to increase to $900.00 for three years, for a total increase of $1,200.00. Further, if a driver had two guilty pleas within a three year period of speeding more than 10 mph in a 65 mph speed limit, it may result in a 195% increase in the driver’s insurance rates causing a $500.00 yearly premium to become $1,475.00 per year, for a total three year increase of nearly $3,000.00. Hiring an experience North Carolina traffic lawyer may be able to save you thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums.
