Lenoir Reckless Driving Defense Attorney
If you got a speeding ticket while driving in western North Carolina, you may think that you have no choice but to pay the fine and accept the consequences. This, however, could needlessly add points to your driving record, which could result in higher insurance premiums and even the loss of driving privileges. For further details see Five Things You Should Know Before Paying Your Ticket. You want an experienced lawyer to help you challenge a moving violation, someone who has successfully helped others in similar situations.
I am Chris Cordes, a traffic defense lawyer at the Law Offices of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC. I bring nearly 20 years of criminal and traffic law experience to people in and around Hickory, North Carolina, who have been ticketed for speeding. Before joining the firm, I spent nearly 14 years as a public defender. I have also been a prosecutor, so I understand how the state approaches these types of cases.
My Speeding Ticket Defense Practice
One major way to fight a speeding ticket in some prosecutorial districts in North Carolina is to try to get the ticket reduced from a moving to a non moving violation. Many prosecutors and judges will do this if the ticket falls within certain guidelines and an attorney appears on your behalf. The reduction of the charge to a non moving violation means you avoid points on your driving record, so there is no effect on your license or your insurance rates.
When you hire me to handle a traffic offense, I will take care of all legal matters, preparing and filing any necessary documents, and appearing on your behalf at all hearings or proceedings. I will carefully review the evidence to determine whether there was probable cause to pull you over. I will also question any witnesses and examine physical evidence, including the scene of the incident, if necessary to prove your innocence.
