Greensboro Traffic Ticket Attorney

Every day, numerous traffic tickets and other citations are issued throughout Greensboro and Guilford County. Many individuals dismiss these tickets as minor annoyances in their day without realizing the full impact too many tickets may have on their driving records. At the Law Office of David E. Sherrill, our firm provides experienced representation to clients who have received tickets for traffic violations in North Carolina. Whether you were just passing through town or are a resident, you should speak to a knowledgeable traffic ticket lawyer before paying the fine. Contact attorney David Sherrill today to learn more about your options.

Some of the types of tickets we handle include:

• Speeding
• Reckless driving
• Driving while license revoked (DWLR)
• No operator's license
• Expired registration
• No insurance

From passing a stopped school bus to speeding to driving without a license, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) assigns a certain number of points to each traffic ticket. Though the accumulation of points may seem insignificant, they can drastically affect your driving privileges. By accruing 12 or more points in a three-year time period, the DMV may suspend your license. In addition, points against your license also impact your insurance rates and may result in higher premiums for coverage.

As a North Carolina driver, you should be aware of the number of points associated with each type of traffic violation in the state. The links below lead to the type of traffic violations that are assigned the corresponding number of points:

• 5 Points
• 4 Points
• 3 Points
• 2 Points
• 1 Point
• 0 Points
