Manteo & Columbia, North Carolina Traffic Ticket Defense
Many people do not realize the severity of the consequences and penalties of a traffic violation and will try to handle their case without an attorney. We do not recommend this. It is important to understand your rights and the multitude of possible penalties and consequences stemming from “simple” speeding tickets. Without the help of a skilled attorney, you may find yourself at greater risk of losing your driving privileges, higher insurance premiums, high court fines, or even jail time. At Wheless & Wheless, PLLC, we have significant experienced representing Manteo and Columbia, North Carolina locals and visitors facing traffic ticket offenses.
We wage an aggressive defense in traffic offense cases to minimize penalties or negative effects you my experience. To protect your rights, driving privilege and to minimize the overall effect to you, please contact us for an immediate consultation or case evaluation.
If you have been cited for a traffic violation, you may wonder if you have to return to North Carolina to resolve the ticket, how the ticket will affect your insurance rates, and how it will affect driver’s license points in North Carolina or your home state. We assist those facing traffic violations, such as:
- Speeding tickets
