Traffic Tickets
When you get a traffic ticket or are facing criminal charges for violations such as DWI, it is vital you enlist the help of a Raleigh traffic ticket lawyer.

A jail or prison sentence can also result from conviction for certain violations. With so much at stake, having a legal professional fighting by your side is the only wise choice. There are steps that can be taken with a traffic ticket lawyer with the aim of eliminating or reduces the negative consequences you may otherwise endure.

Driving With Expired Registration/Tags
In today’s troubled economy, driving with expired tags or registration is a common offense.
Instead of pleading guilty to your charge and paying a fine, you may have a better alternative. Instead of paying hours in court and facing increased insurance premiums, we may be able to lessen the negative impact of this common traffic violation.
Driving Without a License
It is illegal to drive without a valid driver’s license, whether you never had one or you had one which has expired or been suspended or revoked. Violating this law can result in a fine and, although it is rare, jail time. It can also affect your ability to obtain a license in the future.
Driving With a Revoked or Suspended License (DWLR)
If your license has been suspended or revoked and you are stopped by a police officer, you will face serious criminal charges. Our attorneys have twenty years of experience in successfully defending people charged with this serious crime. Many times, depending upon your case, we are able to negotiate these charges down to either much less serious matters or even a simple traffic infraction.
DWI & DUI Defense
DWI and DUI are incredibly serious charges which result in the immediate suspension of your license and can lead to a lengthy prison sentence, amongst other penalties. Our legal team will investigate every aspect of your case in order to build the most compelling defense and seek to save your driving privileges and your freedom.
Commercial Driver’s License Violations (including DWI)
When you get into legal trouble involving your commercial driver’s license, on top of the already significant penalties, your ability to earn a living is placed at risk. There are several ways in which you may be able to avoid these consequences and our legal team will diligently pursue the most successful outcome in your case.
Hit & Run
If you are involved in an accident in North Carolina, you are required to stop and exchange information with the other driver and to render assistance to any injured victims of the accident. Failing to do this can result in heavy penalties including imprisonment. Our firm can review your case and develop the most appropriate strategy for your defense.
No Operator’s License
Your North Carolina Operator’s License is the same as your driver’s license. There are many reasons why a driver can be charged with No Operators License (NOL). Common reasons for a NOL charge would include driving with an expired license, not having a valid NC driver’s license, and driving on a suspended license among others. Whatever led you to this situation, it’s important to fight to retain or restore your driving privileges.
DMV Hearings
If you are at risk of losing your license, we can represent you at a DMV hearing and fight to salvage your driving privileges. We can investigate all aspects of your case for factors which may invalidate the case against you and cause your license to be reinstated or retained.
Failure to Appear
Failure to appear in court as required in relation to a moving or traffic violation can compound the problems you are facing. There can be, however, certain defenses which may be used if this has occurred. Our legal team can review your case for mitigating or extenuating circumstances or any other factors which could help you avoid the potential penalties involved
