Traffic Offenses

Flashing blue lights in your rear-view mirror can be a big deal. Getting pulled over may turn out to be both traumatic and expensive, especially if the police officer issues you a traffic ticket for speeding or some other moving violation.

That’s true whether have a NCDMV issued driver’s license or are visiting from out-of-state or are licensed somewhere else and stationed at Fort Bragg. If you got a traffic ticket in Cumberland County NC, in Hoke County, or in Moore County, we’d like to help you!

People issued a driver’s license by NCDMV should be aware of “points” for getting a ticket. It’s also important to understand North Carolina (Department of Transportation / Division of Motor Vehicles or “DMV”) may report, in appropriate circumstances, certain traffic ticket convictions (and pleas) to your home state.

You shouldn’t ignore a traffic ticket, thinking, “I’ll never be back in Fayetteville, Raeford or Pinehurst or North Carolina for that matter.” Failing to Appear can make things worse.

Increased insurance premiums are something they hammer on during Drivers Ed. And of course, nothing speaks louder seeing your rates go through the roof after a traffic ticket.

Some tickets in North Carolina may affect your insurance, while other citations and “infractions” may have little to no effect.

Each case is different.

That’s why we think it makes sense to talk to a lawyer if you got a ticket in Fayetteville, Raeford or Pinehurst. That’s especially true if you’re dealing with DMV in Raeford NC relating to a license suspension or revocation for a FTA – Failure to Appear.
