Speeding Ticket reduced, Failure to Appear Stricken

October 2017

Not something I would normally feel the urge to publicize, but there is a need for lawyers to handle traffic matters and I do that.  I did so yesterday for a woman who had missed her court date, incurring a $250 FTA fine in addition to the penalties of a 78 in a 55 speeding ticket.  She had filed her own motion asking to strike the failure to appear and for a new court date, but the motion was denied. I negotiated a "9 over" speeding violation, and successfully requested that the court  waive or strike the FTA. The result is a good one, because the original ticket would have resulted in a license revocation because it was more than 15 mph over the speed limit that was 55 or greater. 

So, I handle Wake County traffic matters, ranging from DWI, Driving While License Revoked, Reckless Driving, Speeding to Elude, to simple Speeding Tickets. Give me a call if you want to discuss your situation and whether I might be able to help you.
