Traffic Offenses

Wake County, North Carolina – Traffic Ticket Defense Attorney

A traffic ticket can ruin your day, jeopardize your driving privileges, and cause your auto insurance premiums to dramatically increase. Even a simple speeding ticket can quickly become expensive and inconvenient. My goal is to help you avoid harsh penalties, protect your driving record, and save you valuable time and money.

Navigating the busy, increasingly congested roadways in and around Wake County can sometimes be frustrating. If you’ve received a traffic ticket for speeding, reckless driving, running a red-light or stop sign, or any other moving violation, it’s worth discussing your options with an experienced traffic attorney.

DO NOT pay your ticket online. Most people do not realize that paying a ticket online is an admission of guilt. The consequences of paying a ticket include license points, insurance points, and a possible license suspension.

I am an experienced traffic ticket defense attorney. I have defended thousands of traffic cases in Wake County. I will advise you of your options by reviewing your driving record and the circumstances of your case. I can appear in court on your behalf without you ever having to attend court. My goal is to prevent insurance points and protect your driving privileges. In the long run, it often ends up making good financial sense to hire a knowledgeable attorney.

Common Minor Traffic Violations

  • Speeding
  • Speeding in a school or Work Zone
  • Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign or Red Light
  • Expired Tags/Registration
  • Failure to Reduce speed & Failure to Yield
  • Unsafe Movement
  • Improper Passing

More Serious Major Traffic Violations

  • Driving Without a License
  • Driving While License Revoked (suspended)
  • Driving While Impaired
  • Reckless or Aggressive Driving
  • Hit & Run
  • Passing a Stopped School Bus
  • Street Racing
  • Flee/Elude Arrest

If you are facing charges or an investigation related to a more serious traffic offense, it is in your best interest to retain legal counsel promptly. I can advise you of your options and how best to prepare and defend your case. Serious criminal traffic violations often result in increased license points and insurance points as well as a potential license suspension. Punishment can also include court costs, fine, and, depending on the type of offense, probation or jail time. There is no doubt, these charges can come with costly, long-term consequences.

I take the legal issues facing my clients very seriously and my goal is always to ensure you understand the options available to you, every step of the way.

I’ve found my clients appreciate my straightforward advice and clear explanations. The best thing you can do is contact me immediately following your traffic violation while the details are still fresh in your mind. My initial consultation is always free.

This lawyer actually answered his phone the first time I called. You didn’t read that wrong, the lawyer answered the phone, not assistant. Anyways he was very helpful and shared lots of information. Of course I hired him from my traffic ticket. I was prepared to pay hundreds but he got it dismissed so no court fees for me 🙂! Would definetly recommend and hire again but I hope I don’t need too!

I had a great experience working with Mr. Percy! My traffic citation was dismissed, and the entire process was incredibly easy and as stress-free as possible. Mr. Percy was always very polite, helpful, and responsive both over the phone and through email. The payment process was simple and convenient, and everything was clearly explained. I really appreciated how smoothly everything was handled and would definitely recommend this firm to anyone needing help with a traffic citation!

Seth represented me in the court due to my international travel, and he did an amazing job getting my citation dismissed. It was a wrong accusation, and Seth was able to defend me and get the justice I deserved. Thank you Seth ! I'm forever grateful to you.
