What I’ve Noticed at the Courthouse 
If you are facing a ticket in Charlotte and choose to represent yourself, you will have to go to the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. But be warned. The lines to get into the court house where most traffic tickets are resolved (Courtroom 1130) are becoming longer. Consequently, wait times and delay in getting cases resolved takes longer as well. The deputies and the Assistant District Attorneys do their best to keep things moving as quickly as possible, but there are just too many people, and the lines often get backed up. It’s your time, but standing in line costs you money also. If you are missing time from work, you are losing money. And if you try to take care of your traffic ticket on your day off, you are really losing valuable, irreplaceable time. You’ve got better things to do. This is our job. We do this everyday. You should let us take the burden away and go enjoy your day.
Here’s What You’re Facing
Whether your court time is in the morning or the afternoon, you can expect to fight the dreaded Charlotte traffic. There are several parking garages nearby, but parking spaces overall remain limited. You may have to go to several locations before you are able to find a good spot. Then, you have to walk to the courthouse in the rain or hot sun. Next, you can anticipate a long line which will stretch outside while everyone goes through security screening. You may have to take off your belt or shoes. Your purse will have to be scanned or searched. And then, you get to stand in more lines while waiting to get into the actual courtroom 1130.
You will be greeted by another deputy who will verify that you are in the correct courtroom and that your ticket is on the roster. You will be allowed into a large room with rows and rows of seating. You then wait for your case to be called by the docket. One of several Assistant District Attorneys will call the cases and are not in a position to deal with them out of order. You will have to wait until your case is reached no matter when you arrived. If you hire a traffic ticket lawyer, you can avoid all of these issues and go about your day. The cost of professional representation is very affordable and will become priceless if you are one of the ones stuck in line waiting and waiting. Give us a call today and let us take away this burden. We make it easy so you don’t have to deal with it.
