Wilmington, NC Traffic Lawyer, Traffic Ticket Attorney

OK, so you received a traffic ticket. Now what do you do? Well, you're about to get a whole bunch of letters in the mail from attorneys who wish to represent you. And while it'll be entertaining to get these letters and see what they say, the purpose behind them believe it or not is really pretty sound. If you simply pay for the ticket, you may pay a lot more than you think. And of course, we're talking about Automobile Insurance Rates.

Simply paying a ticket may result in "points" being assessed for insurance purposes. This can mean big trouble when going to pay for auto insurance.

Moving violations can mean points on your insurance, and that translates to dollars out of your pocket. Consider the following percentage increases in your insurance with even just a few points:

Ins. Points % Surcharge
1 25%
2 45%
3 65%
4 90%
5 120%
6 150%
7 180%
8 220%
9 260%
10 300%
11 350%
12 400%

Before paying that ticket, at least consider talking with an attorney. Feel free to give us a call; we're happy to discuss even the most minor traffic citation.
