Traffic Violations

North Carolina Traffic Tickets and Violations Lawyers

While traffic tickets may seem more of a minor inconvenience than a criminal law matter, your insurance rates and your ability to drive legally can be adversely affected. At Thomas & Farris in Wilson, North Carolina, we take a proactive approach in handling cases involving traffic violations.

If you receive a ticket in North Carolina, you will likely receive our promotional letters regarding how we can help those who have been issued traffic tickets unfairly. Our attorneys encourage you to contact us if you have received our letter and are in need of our legal services.

The state of North Carolina has driver's license and insurance point systems. The driver's license system is a point system whereby the Department of Motor Vehicles determines the suspension of a driver's license based on the points you received for one or multiple violations. The Safe Driver Insurance plan is both a point and a classification system for drivers based on accidents and traffic violations.

The higher the points, the more your insurance premiums increase after a conviction of a traffic offense. A few miles an hour over a speed limit can mean the difference between a small hike in your rates or a significant increase, along with a large fine and a possible license suspension.

Consulting with an experienced traffic violations attorney at Thomas & Farris will enable you to know what to expect and if your case warrants representation. Just mailing the ticket in with the payment is an automatic admission of guilt. District attorneys will offer what they consider "deals," but a seasoned lawyer who has handled many traffic tickets for his or her clients can more effectively negotiate on your behalf.

We immediately appreciate the value of a driver's license and the convenience it affords you in your life. While you could certainly attempt to deal with a traffic violation by yourself, the consequences of proceeding in the wrong fashion could be substantially increased premiums and fines.
