North Carolina Traffic Lawyers Fighting to Protect Your License
A traffic ticket in North Carolina may seem minor, but the consequences add up fast: points on your NC license, insurance rate increases for 3+ years, potential license suspension, and even jail time for serious violations. At Vasquez Law Firm, our NC State Bar licensed traffic attorneys fight traffic tickets throughout North Carolina, working to reduce or dismiss charges and protect your driving record.
We handle traffic violations in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, and all NC courts. From simple speeding tickets to serious reckless driving charges, we negotiate with prosecutors, challenge evidence, and fight to keep points off your license.
Don't Just Pay That NC Traffic Ticket!
Paying a traffic ticket = pleading guilty. This means:
- • Points added to your NC license (can't be removed for 3 years)
- • Insurance rates increase 20-40% for 3+ years (costs hundreds or thousands)
- • Risk of license suspension if you accumulate 12 points
- • Permanent driving record (visible to employers, especially CDL jobs)
- • Some violations can trigger criminal charges
A traffic lawyer often costs less than the long-term insurance increases.Contact us before you pay!
