Do I Really Need a Lawyer for a North Carolina Traffic Ticket?
No. You are not required to retain a lawyer to resolve a traffic ticket, but it is highly advisable to first consult with one.
In matters like these, you do have the right to defend yourself in court against any criminal charges without being represented by an attorney. However, consulting with an attorney before your case is resolved can often save you time, money, and your driver’s license. An experienced attorney has the expertise necessary to explain the consequences of the charges against you and to assess the best possible course of action. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation, contact us today.
What are the benefits of retaining a traffic violations lawyer?
There are many benefits of retaining an experienced Triangle Area traffic offense attorney, including the following top five reasons:
Reason #5: You may not have to go to court to resolve your case;
Reason #4: You may be able to keep your insurance rates down;
Reason #3: You will likely save money in the long run;
Reason #2: You may be able to keep your driving privileges or avoid jail time; and
Reason #1: You will be able to fully understand of the traffic charges against you, including the consequences of a guilty plea or a conviction, and be in a position to make an informed decision.
What if I just sign the traffic ticket and mail in my fine?
Mailing in your ticket with your fine is just pleading guilty to the offense as charged on the ticket and may result in insurance points and license points being assessed. Of course that decision is up to you, but you need to understand the consequences of your actions. Depending on the charges and your personal situation, you could discover your insurance rates just skyrocketed and/or you just lost your driving privileges.
That is why you should consult an experienced lawyer to discuss your traffic ticket and your ticket history.
