You should schedule a time to speak with our attorneys about the consequences of paying off a ticket and how our representation could benefit you.

North Carolina has some of the strictest motor vehicle laws in the United States. For example, you could be suspended in North Carolina for traveling over 55 MPH! Generally, our attorneys should be able to prevent any license suspension by reviewing the facts of your case and negotiating with the district attorney’s office to resolve your case successfully. However, there are times when traffic citations will suspend your license.  In those situations, you may qualify for a limited driving privilege. Please schedule an appointment with one of our attorneys to see how we can prevent you from losing your license or advise you about a limited driving privilege.
