FAQs

Q: Can I Have a Traffic Ticket Dismissed in North Carolina?

A: Yes, it is possible to have a traffic ticket dismissed in North Carolina. To do so, you will need to contest the ticket in traffic court and prove that it was unjustified. You may need to prove that the police officer who issued it did not have probable cause or that a mistake was made that led to the wrongful issuing of the ticket. It is also possible to have a traffic ticket dismissed if it was issued due to a fixable issue, such as lapsed insurance or expired vehicle registration.

Q: How Do I Fight a Traffic Ticket in Wilmington?

A: To fight a traffic ticket in Wilmington, you will need to formally contest the ticket and attend a hearing before a judge in traffic court. You may present evidence, witness testimony, and arguments to support your case if you believe the ticket was issued wrongfully, or you will need to show that the ticket was issued because of a fixable issue that you have since addressed and resolved.

Q: Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer to Fight a Traffic Ticket in North Carolina?

A: Technically, you do not need to hire a lawyer to fight a speeding ticket in North Carolina, and you have the right to represent yourself in a traffic court hearing; however, hiring an attorney to represent you can significantly improve your chances of success. A skilled attorney can quickly identify errors that occurred with the issuing of your ticket and explain the defenses available to you that you may have overlooked on your own.

Q: How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wilmington Traffic Ticket Lawyer?

A: Usually, the cost of hiring a Wilmington traffic ticket lawyer depends on how long your attorney must spend working on your case.
