I am Clarke Kent Wittstruck, an Asheville attorney handling cases in Buncombe, Henderson, Madison and Haywood counties. In the past 25+ years I've probably handled more speeding cases in Buncombe County than any other attorney.
Why Hire Us? Convenience. Here's the truth: if you come to court to handle your traffic case the DA - in any county - is going to offer you the same deal I can obtain for you. And if you read the information provided in my county links above you will know what to do in court (each county has different remedies). So why hire an attorney? You only need an attorney in traffic court if doing so is cost effective and saves you time. We handle lots of traffic tickets for clients. But most folks hire us not because we work magic but because we can usually appear in court on their behalf and they can pay for everything with a credit card. So price is important. I believe we offer the lowest legal fee for traffic matters in the area. My office is fast, friendly and knowledgeable. We process these cases quickly and efficiently. We go to court, negotiate your ticket modification, pay your fine and court costs, forward your receipt and hope to impress you with our speed, price and modern processing.
How Does this Help You? Avoiding Insurance Increases or Loss of License. In North Carolina speeding convictions result in both DMV "driving points" and Safe Driver Incentive Plan "insurance points" and, depending on your speed, can cause you to lose your driving privileges and/or incur increased insurance premiums for 3 years. So modifying your speed or your charge will often save your ability to drive and avoid an increase in your insurance. If you reside out of state, review your options from the county links above and then contact your insurance agent to see if a remedy benefits you.
Can We Make This Happen? No plea can be guaranteed. However, we know how to analyze your facts quickly and we know what our local Judges and District Attorneys will allow. We will not take your money unless we believe we can help you - from modifying your charge, to, if permitted, appearing in court on your behalf. In all cases we will tell you exactly what we can or cannot do before we accept employment. And if later we realize we cannot help you we will refund your money.
Can I Hire You from this Website? Yes. In most cases you can get an estimate of the cost to have me handle your speeding ticket at our new traffic website. You can also contact my office directly and we would be happy to help you. It is helpful if you look over the information available on my traffic page for your county before you call.
