Possible Outcomes
What’s possible depends on your ticket, your record and the county, but these are the results that come up most.
Improper Equipment
The speeding charge becomes a non-moving violation, which means no license or insurance points.
A Lower Speed
Your charge is reduced to a lower speed, which can mean fewer insurance points and sometimes fewer license points.
A PJC
A Prayer for Judgment Continued usually means no license or insurance points. I’ll tell you if it’s the right move for your ticket.
A Dismissal
When the facts are on your side, the charge can be dismissed altogether.
What Your Insurance Might Do
In North Carolina, insurance points usually raise your premium for three years, so keeping them off is often the goal. The chart has the numbers if you’d like to see them.
Fees, Up Front
You’ll know my flat fee before you decide anything.
Court costs are separate and go to the court. When your case is done, I’ll tell you what you owe.

I’ve practiced law in North Carolina since 2015, and traffic tickets have been my main focus since 2019. I’m based in Asheville. Whether this is your first ticket or not, my job is to keep it from costing you more than it has to.

Common Questions
Do I have to go to court?
For most tickets, no, because you can sign a waiver instead. A few charges do need you there in person, and if yours is one, I’ll tell you at the start.
Can I just pay it online?
You can, but paying counts as a guilty plea, and the points come with it. It’s worth a free look first. Before You Pay Your Ticket →
I live out of state. Do I have to come back?
Usually not. Most tickets can be handled while you’re at home. A conviction here will likely be reported to your home state, though, so it’s worth getting this one right. Out-of-State Drivers →
I missed my court date. What now?
Text me today. A missed court date can lead to a license suspension, but it can often still be fixed if you move quickly. Missed Your Court Date →
How fast will I hear back?
Usually within one business day. If your court date is in the next two days, text me now at (828) 571-0054.
