Wake County Traffic Attorneys
Traffic laws are a complicated body of legislation that can dole out harsh punishments – including jail time – if defendants are not properly represented and are ultimately convicted of the charges against them.
In 2008 alone, over 1.3 million North Carolina residents were stopped for violating traffic laws. While nearly 340,000 of these individual got off with a warning, nearly 1 million were issued citations and/or arrested after being pulled over for allegedly violating traffic laws.
At The Law Offices of Brad Sahl, P.C., our professional Raleigh traffic attorneys specialize in providing aggressive, unrelenting representation to individuals charged with violating traffic laws. Our goal is to get the charges reduced (or dismissed, if applicable) so our clients can move on with their lives.
Types of Traffic Charges
Our esteemed traffic lawyers have extensive experience representing those charged with:
- driving with a suspended or revoked license
- DUI or DWI
- hit and run
- insurance, registration and/or inspection violations
- reckless driving and other moving violations
- seat belt and child restraint violations
- speeding violations
- vehicular manslaughter
Sentences for Traffic Charges
Traffic violation sentences will vary from case to case, depending on whether:
- the charge was a misdemeanor or felony
- the accused has a criminal record (and prior convictions of traffic violations)
- anyone was injured during the event
- other illegal activities allegedly transpired during the violation of traffic laws (i.e. drug possession, etc.)
In most cases, traffic violation sentences will include some combination of:
- points added to your driving record
- a suspension or revocation of your driver's license
- fines (including restitution fees paid to the court)
- driver's education classes
- jail time
- probation
Unfortunately, sentences for traffic violations can also have further repercussions, namely in the fact that, if the violation is noted on the driver's record, his insurance premiums may increase significantly (or the driver may be dropped from his insurance carrier altogether).
