Lenoir Traffic Offenses Attorney
If you have been charged with a traffic violation, you don't have to simply accept the ticket and pay the fine. Moving violations can add points to your driving record, leading to increased insurance costs and even the possibility that your driving privileges could be suspended. You want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights, someone who understands the justice system and has helped others with problems like yours.
My name is Chris Cordes. I am a traffic defense attorney at the Law Offices of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC. I have focused my practice on criminal and traffic law for nearly two decades. Before joining the firm, I spent nearly 14 years as a public defender. I have also been a prosecutor. I understand how the government's attorneys prepare a case and can help you take the right steps to protect your constitutional rights.
My Traffic Violations Practice
I provide comprehensive counsel to people who have been charged with traffic violations in western North Carolina, preparing and filing all necessary documentation during the process and acting as your advocate in any hearings or proceedings. I handle a wide range of traffic citations, including:
- Speeding tickets
- DWI charges, from the DMV hearing to the criminal proceeding to determine guilt or innocence
- Failure to obey traffic signs or signals, including red lights and stop signs
- Reckless or careless driving charges
- Driving a vehicle with an expired registration or with a suspended or revoked driver's license
- State inspection violations
When you hire me to defend you on a traffic charge, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your arrest or citation, including whether police had probable cause to pull you over. I will carefully examine all physical evidence and interview any witnesses, so that I can identify and build potential defenses for you.
