In our clients' words:

Not being a NC native, I was unfamiliar with the local traffic laws. Mr. Hatley listened to my concerns and gave me excellent advice regarding concrete steps to improve the potential outcome of the case.

I would absolutely recommend Dan's services to a friend. He is effective, efficient, attentive, professional and friendly. And the price is very reasonable for his services.

Speeding Tickets and Traffic Violations

Traffic offenses are painful in terms of time and money, leading to increased insurance premiums and long lines at the courthouse. Surging state budget deficits have caused law enforcement officers to be even more heavy handed when it comes to minor violations, and serious offenses have now become even harder to deal with. You may consider simply paying your ticket to avoid the hassle of going to the courthouse. Do not pay any speeding or traffic ticket without first speaking to a lawyer. By paying your ticket you are admitting guilt and will face the maximum consequences. Why admit guilt when you can hire our office to handle this matter for as little as $100.00 per ticket?

Frequently Asked Questions about Traffic Tickets

Isn't it easier to mail in payment for my traffic ticket?

Absolutely not. By mailing in payment for your traffic ticket you are admitting guilt. In most instances this guilty plea cannot be reversed without considerable effort. Admitting guilt could lead to revocation of your driving priveleges and will most certainly result in an increase in your insurance premiums.

Can I save money by going to court by myself?

Usually not. Going to court to handle a ticket can be an uphill battle for the average person. In Orange County it isn't uncommon to spend several hours waiting in line just to get into the courthouse. Once inside you have to argue with a District Attorney whose job it is to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. This person is also prohibited from giving you advice as to how your conviction will impact your license or insurance. If you decide to fight your ticket, many times your hearing will be continued to a future date, meaning you must miss another day of work to finalize your case.

Mr. Hatley knows when to appear in court to put your case before the most favorable Judge and prosecutor. His knowledge will save you time and money in the long run.
