Is Your Driver's License in Jeopardy?
Most people have the impulse to simply pay a traffic ticket. Other people choose to ignore it and not come to court. Neither of these is a safe approach. You should talk to an attorney before pleading guilty to any traffic offense, and you shouldn't let that citation sit too long before action.
The Baker Law Firm, P.A. in Concord, North Carolina, has handled traffic violations from speeding tickets to driving while license revoked charges. Criminal defense lawyers Laura Baker and Lucas T. Baker can often get tickets reduced or even fix previous violations that are preventing you from driving legally. Contact us about your traffic offense in Cabarrus, Rowan or Stanly counties.
Traffic Violations and Your License
The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles has a points system. When you accumulate 12 points through any combination of traffic offenses, your license can be suspended. Failing to appear in court on a speeding ticket, or not paying the fine for a previous ticket, can also lead to suspension or revocation.
Driving records are very confusing to the average citizen, and the DMV is not the most friendly agency. The Bakers can determine if you are already suspended or if your current traffic violation would put you over the top. She can then represent you in DMV hearings to try to get those tickets dismissed or reduced.
The Baker Law Firm handles all traffic offenses, including serious moving violations that can be punished by jail time:
- Drunk driving (DWI)
- Reckless driving or racing
- Hit and run
- Driving while license revoked or suspended (DWLR/DWLS)
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Stoplight and stop sign violations
If you are charged with driving after suspension or revocation, The Bakers can arrange a DMV hearing to reopen those old citations. By fixing the underlying problem, she can often get your license restored and then get the DWLR/DWLS reduced so it can't hurt you.
Don't try to handle this by yourself. Call our Concord law office at 866-943-7966 or contact us online to arrange a confidential consultation.
