If you have received a traffic ticket in North Carolina, no matter what the charge it is a serious matter with long-term impact.  Hiring an attorney experienced with North Carolina traffic laws can be the difference between a fine and thousands of dollars over time in the form of increased automobile insurance costs.  Though some traffic violations are more serious than others, every traffic violation can have severe consequences, including heavy fines, substantial court costs, points against your license and your insurance rating, increased insurance premiums, and hours spent waiting in court.  More severe traffic violations, involving DWI/DUI or injury to persons or property, can subject you to more severe consequences, including felony charges, loss of your driving privileges, and loss of your freedom. While you may think the easiest thing to do is pay your ticket, it is an admission of guilt.  Talk to an attorney with the expertise to advise you of how simply paying your ticket may impact your continued ability to drive and pay for insurance.
