What We DoFor most people, traffic tickets are a minor annoyance that costs money and gets in the way. Some drivers just pay them just to get rid of them, because they believe it’s not worth the hassle to fight a ticket. That’s not always the best way to handle a traffic ticket, especially one for speeding or other charges.
Even a seemingly minor ticket like running a stop sign can add points to your license that could lead to higher insurance rates. Let those points add up, and you could find your license suspended. What will you do if you are suddenly unable to drive? What if you need your license to go to work every day, or if driving is part of your job?
Paying your ticket is like saying, “yes, I’m guilty.” You’re giving up your right to defense, risking an insurance rate hike and another point or two. If your license is suspended and you continue to drive anyway, you could actually receive jail time if you’re caught.
You don’t need to go to court alone and take risks with your future. There’s a better way to deal with traffic tickets in Raleigh, from a minor charge to something more serious like DWI.
Before you do anything with your ticket, contact a Raleigh traffic ticket attorney to learn how you can fight any traffic ticket, consider your options, and keep your driving record clear.

We can defend you against a variety of traffic violations including:
When you hire Dewey P. Brinkley, he will examine your driving record, including the history, as well as your ticket(s). He will discuss your case with you and look for any details that can aid your defense. After considering your situation, Mr. Brinkley will negotiate with the prosecutors to discuss a plea bargain. Depending on the case, he may be able to reduce your penalties, avoid revocation or suspension of your license, prevent the addition of points to your license as well and increase your insurance rates.
Unique to North Carolina, the Prayer for Judgment Continued, or PJC, is a disposition after a plea of guilty where the judge suspends entering a judgment in the case. In traffic cases, a “PJC” means that you’ll plead guilty, but any insurance or driver’s license points won’t accrue on your driving record for the underlying offense. Only one PJC can be granted per household every three years. A second PJC can be used within five years, but only for driver’s license points.
Judges will often require that the offender complete a defensive driving course or community service in order to earn a PJC. Online defensive driving courses are inexpensive and may take less than a day to complete. Discuss the possibility of a PJC with Mr. Brinkley, and the option for a defensive driving course.
