Why Traffic Tickets Matter

Traffic violations in North Carolina are not just about fines — they can affect your license status, insurance premiums, and driving privileges. A conviction is typically reported to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NC DMV) and can stay on your record for years. Accumulating too many points can lead to license suspension and higher insurance rates.

Some violations, like reckless driving, excessive speeding, and driving with a revoked license, may require mandatory court appearances and carry more severe penalties, including possible jail time.

How Andrew Sheffer Can Help

 

Personalized Defense Strategy

We take the time to review your citation, driving history, and case details to create a defense that fits your situation. Your attorney will:

• Explain potential outcomes and legal options

• Negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or penalties

• Represent you in court when necessary

• Seek alternatives to conviction when possible

 

Minimize License Points & Insurance Impact

One of our top priorities is to reduce or eliminate points that may otherwise be added to your license. Less severe charges or diversions can also help prevent costly insurance increases — a key benefit of having legal representation in traffic cases.

​

License Suspension & DMV Hearings

If your license has been suspended or is at risk, we can also assist with DMV hearings and license restoration, including pursuing limited driving privileges where available.
