Traffic & Speeding Ticket Offenses
WHAT IS AT RISK?
Almost everyone can expect to receive at least one traffic ticket at some time in his or her life. You may not need an attorney to represent you in court, but legal advice may save you time, money and your driver's record.
In North Carolina, even a minor traffic ticket may result in an assessment of insurance points that will cause an increase in insurance premiums in a three year period. Speeding violations will cause the assessment of license points that can result in the suspension of you driver's license. So, before you mail in your ticket or go to court, you should always contact an attorney for counsel as to the law.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
For most traffic violations, we can negotiate a reduction in the charges again you, depending on the driving history, that will reduce or eliminate the insurance points, reduce or eliminate the license points and prevent the suspension of your license. In many cases, the results will never show up on your driving history, keeping your driving record clean.
At the Law Office of Kevin M. Kennedy, we offer a free consultation about your ticket and discuss your options for the best possible outcome. If you retain our law office to represent your case in court, you generally will not have to be present in court to resolve the case. The attorney will appear for you, discuss your case with the district attorney, appear before the judge, pay the court costs and fine, and dispose of your case completely without you going to court.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Our fees are always reasonable and competitive. The law office usually charges a flat rate fee for representation that includes: attorney fee, court costs, and fines. The exact cost for your case will depend upon the seriousness of the charges, the aticipated fine, and the facts and circumstances surrounding the case.
