Asheville speeding ticket lawyer
Asheville traffic attorney Margaret Teich
Have blue lights in the rear view gotten your heart racing lately? You could waste a whole day standing in line at the Buncombe County Courthouse just for the privilege of paying for your speeding ticket ...

... but our Valentine to you will give you the good kind of butterflies in your stomach! Go Local Week happily coincides with the week leading up to Valentine's Day. It's a way for Asheville residents and local businesses to connect and show some (platonic) love for each other. We want to celebrate by taking care of your Buncombe County traffic ticket for a flat fee of $200.

Do I need an attorney for a speeding ticket?

A lot of Asheville residents find it worth the expense to pay a lawyer to go to court for their traffic tickets. However, many people we speak to tell us that they've thought about handling their traffic tickets on their own. While it's possible, it's not always advised. This is particularly true if you'd had other speeding tickets within the past couple of years, if you're accused of driving at a speed 20 miles or more above the speed limit, or if your case is otherwise more complicated than typical.

Paying the fine on your traffic ticket usually means higher auto insurance premiums for 3 years.

Should I pay my speeding ticket or get an attorney?

At the bottom of North Carolina traffic tickets is an amount that you can pay to resolve the ticket and close the case. Easy, right?

By paying that ticket, you are pleading guilty to the offense you're charged with. That means you're accepting DMV points and higher auto insurance rates.

In the long run, it's much more expensive to pay the ticket than it is to hire an attorney to do the work for you. We will check your driving record and negotiate with the prosecutor on your behalf to make sure that your case is resolved in the way that impacts your driving record the least.

Will my speeding ticket affect my insurance?

We are often able to negotiate resolutions with the District Attorney that do not include DMV points. This means that we will likely be able to make sure that your insurance rates do not increase. And although it's not typical, we can sometimes get tickets dismissed entirely, meaning that you will not even be required to pay court costs.

Call our Asheville traffic ticket attorneys

Your Valentine's Day plans probably did not involve dealing with a traffic ticket; luckily they don't have to if you call us! Contact our Buncombe County traffic ticket attorney this week (February 11-15) for a free case evaluation and a sweet deal on speeding tickets and other traffic infractions. And make sure to show some love to our Asheville friends participating in Go Local Week!
