Can I Handle a Speeding Ticket Without a Lawyer? 
Here is the truth. For a first time, simple speeding ticket, you do not require a lawyer. Having a trained, experienced Charlotte traffic attorney is a luxury, not a necessity. Fortunately, the attorney fee is relatively low making it possible for practically everyone to retain our services. It is really just a matter of how much time and effort you want to spend just to save money. It’s your money or your time. Why not let us take the hassle out of getting a ticket? You’ve got better things to do.
What Do You Get for Your Money?
In Charlotte / Mecklenburg County, it is estimated that over 1000+ traffic tickets are processed each day. Most people simply mail in a check or pay online. We do NOT recommend this approach as you are effectively pleading guilty to the charge and will be assessed points on your driving record. I am also concerned about online payments as mistakes can happen and then you find out later after the fact. I like people taking care of matters and making sure everything is done right. Plus, if you get a total of twelve (12) points or more during any three (3) year period, your license will be suspended. And, your insurance rates can be affected and be significantly increased for any driving violation convictions.
Those who don’t pay online or hire an attorney have to fight Charlotte downtown traffic, find a parking garage, walk to the courthouse, go through security screening, and then stand in line while waiting for their case to be called. It is not unusual for the lines to wrap around the interior and sometimes extend outside. It is a long, difficult process. If you represent yourself, you should plan to be away from work, school, or home for several hours.
If you hire our firm, we will gather all necessary documents, including your driving record, and go to court on your behalf. We will go to a different area and meet with a prosecutor and see what we can to minimize or eliminate any points on your license. We will also pay any resulting fine and court costs. You will not have to deal with the lines, the parking, or the stress. We take care of everything for you and then report back on what we did. In most cases, we can ask for an “improper equipment” if you have a good driving record. This plea is not a moving violation and does not result in driving record points. This is an ideal solution for most of our clients who have not had a traffic ticket for many years or if this ticket is their first one.
