Is it worth hiring a traffic attorney for a speeding ticket?

Hiring a traffic attorney may improve your chances of reducing the penalties associated with a traffic violation, depending on the circumstances of your case. An experienced attorney can explain your legal options, represent you when appropriate, and work toward protecting your driving record, license, and insurance rates.

Will getting this traffic ticket impact my auto insurance rates?

One of the primary financial concerns our clients face is the long-term impact a traffic violation has on their auto insurance premiums. In North Carolina, a single conviction for speeding or reckless driving can cause your insurance rates to spike significantly for three full years. Depending on the circumstances, legal representation may help reduce the impact a traffic conviction has on your insurance rates. Goddard & Peterson PLLC works to pursue the best possible outcome for your case and help protect your driving record whenever possible.

What can my traffic violation or speeding ticket be reduced to?

When you contact Goddard & Peterson PLLC, your citation will be reviewed to determine the best possible outcome based on the facts of your case. Depending on your driving history and the county where you received your ticket, it may be possible to seek a reduction to a lesser offense or explore options such as a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC), when appropriate. Every case is different, and an experienced attorney can explain the options available to help protect your driving record.

Will I Have To Go To Court For My Traffic Ticket?

Depending on the type of traffic violation and the court handling your case, you may not need to appear in court. In many situations, we can appear on your behalf, saving you time and minimizing disruption to your schedule. We’ll explain what to expect based on your specific case.

Testimonials

“This firm made everything simple and easy for me. They’re reasonable and friendly. Highly recommend!”

Lauren B.

“My daughter is in Raleigh, NC attending school and received a ticket which resulted in another ticket from her past that she failed to pay. This Law Firm was referred to her by a friend who is from Raleigh and with her being away from home I had my reservations. There was no need to worry on my end, Andrew Peterson handled all issues perfectly and kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. They were all dismissed and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!”

Michelle Marrs

“Andrew Peterson and staff were very amazing. They helped me get a pretty serious speeding charge reduced to an improper equipment charge. This helped me avoid any points on insurance/license. Andrew and staff were always very polite and informative, always kept us up to date and never got aggravated with our 1,000 questions. 😅 …”
