Speeding and Traffic Offenses
Attorney Kristi Haddock handles speeding and traffic offenses in Wake, Chatham, Durham, Lee and Harnett Counties. If you were charged with a traffic ticket or speeding ticket, the most important thing to recognize is that your ticket MAY cause an increase of your insurance or even a license suspension. You should NEVER pay your ticket off online without consulting with an attorney. Often, having an attorney appear for you in court will end up saving you money in the long run as there are many reductions available to prevent insurance increase completely.
Did you know that even a minor traffic offense can cause your insurance to increase by 30%, and that some more serious traffic charges can cause up to a 80% increase for the next 3 years? Did you know that pleading to a speed of greater than 75mph in a speed zone less than 70mph will cause a license suspension? The rules that govern what can increase your insurance and what can cause a license suspension can be tricky. Let an experienced attorney guide you through the court process and discuss options with you like a Prayer for Judgment Continued or an Improper Equipment.

Expungement
Do you have a criminal record that is holding you back? Your charges may be eligible for expungement. Did you know that even after a case is dismissed or you are found Not Guilty, the charge still remains on your record? The only way to erase the charge from your record is through the expungement process.
In North Carolina, charges that have been dismissed are eligible for expungement immediately following the dismissal. Misdemeanor convictions are eligible after 5 years from the date of your conviction, sometimes quicker for certain offenses if you were under 22 years old or under 18 years old. Felony convictions are eligible 10 years from the date of your conviction, sometimes quicker for young offenders. Attorney Kristi Haddock handles the expungement of eligible offenses for her former clients at NO ADDITIONAL COST. This is a huge advantage for her clients, as many attorneys charge a separate fee for an expungement after the case is resolved.
