I am Clarke Kent Wittstruck, an Asheville traffic attorney handling cases in Buncombe, Henderson and Madison counties. In the past 20+ 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 we can obtain for you. And if you read the information provided in my county links below 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 Henderson/Buncombe/Madison area. And, as you will see when you look over my traffic web page, we work very very hard to provide a lot of service for your dollar. I invite you to test this by clicking on the "calculate the cost of your ticket" link below. Or call us. 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. And at the end of your case what we want to hear is this: "They did a great job and I'd consider using them for other legal matters in the future." That's how you build a business: faster, cheaper, better.
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 below and then contact your insurance agent to see if a remedy benefits you.
Can You Make This Happen? No plea can be guaranteed. However, we know how to analyze your facts quickly and will not take your money unless we believe we can help you - from modifying your charge, to, if allowed, appearing in court on your behalf. In all cases we will tell you exactly what we can or cannot do before we except employment. And if later we realize we cannot help you we will refund your money.
Can I Hire You from this Website? Yes. First go to the link below for the county where you received your ticket and review your options. Then click "Calculate the Cost of Your Ticket" and provide the information requested. This will pull up your information from our database and give you an immediate estimate on the total cost of your ticket. You can provide your credit card information and make an offer to hire us (see The Bottom Line). We usually process your offer within the hour and email you a verification receipt and a summary sheet. Then you are finished; we take care of everything from that point. I say "estimate" of your total cost because I must build in a contingency for a problem in the operation of the database. But our estimates are, historically, very good. And, again, if there are problems we will immediately refund your money. We want satisfied customers.
