North Carolina Traffic Violations Attorney
Why It’s Important To Have Legal Representation
Most people do not realize the impact a single speeding ticket can have. You are likely to receive a steep fine that will result in points being assessed against your license and your auto insurance will probably be increased. Other violations such as DWI, driving on a revoked driver’s license, or reckless or aggressive driving can even result in going to jail. Is it worth the risk?
Criminal Traffic Violations
Some serious traffic violations are classified as criminal. These types of violations cannot be resolved by simply paying a fine by mail. It is required that you appear in person before the court. Criminal Traffic charges may have serious outcomes and can affect your driver’s license, insurance rates, and can even cause problems with your employer.

North Carolina Misdemeanor Crimes Attorneys
Although misdemeanor crimes are serious, they are far less serious than felony criminal offenses. However, it’s still very important to hire an experienced criminal lawyer to handle your misdemeanor case. An experienced North Carolina Law firm like the King Law Firm will guide you through every step of the legal process and will increase your chances of obtaining a successful result in court.
Misdemeanors in North Carolina are separated into the following categories:
Class A1 misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of up to 150 days in jail and a discretionary fine. Types of crimes for a Class A1 Misdemeanor: assault with a deadly weapon, assault inflicting serious injury, assault on a female or a government employee, violation of a restraining order, and sexual battery.
Class 1 misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 120 days in jail and a discretionary fine.
Types of crimes for a Class 1 Misdemeanor: possession of drug paraphernalia, larceny, possession of stolen goods, damaging real or personal property, communicating threats, and prostitution.
Class 2 misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Class 3 misdemeanor the least serious type of misdemeanor, carries a maximum penalty of 20 days in jail and a $200 fine.
Types of crimes for a Class 3 Misdemeanor: simple possession of marijuana, concealing goods in a store, and city code violations.
If You Are Charged With A Misdemeanor Crime.
Your case will be heard by a district court judge. At that point, you may choose to negotiate with the district attorney for a lesser charge or you may decide to plead not guilty and request a trial. It may be possible to request to have your case dismissed depending on your past criminal history, or possibly serve community service or attend a substance abuse program that might result in the judge dismissing your case.
If you should decide to request a trial, the district attorney must prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Misdemeanor cases are heard before a district court judge. The judge will hear all of the evidence and will decide if the district attorney has proved that you are guilty of the crime. If the judge finds that you are not guilty you are free to go. If the judge finds that you are guilty of the crime, he will normally sentence you at that time. The sentence can range from a small fine to a prison sentence.
The King Law Firm has many years of experience helping those who have been charged with misdemeanor crimes. Our goal is to assure you receive fair treatment and, in many cases, we are able to have cases dismissed due to lack of or insufficient evidence.
