How Long Do I Have to Pay a Ticket in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, if you fail to pay your traffic ticket and/or fail to appear in court, you have twenty days to resolve this before a Failure to Appear (FTA) is entered against you. Once the FTA is entered, you will have to pay a $200 fee on top of court fees and the fine for your charge. After 20 days from the time you received your Failure to Appear, the court will notify the NC DMV. Your license will also be suspended too. In some cases, especially in misdemeanor traffic offenses, an Order for Arrest may be issued if you do not appear in court. This order will command all law enforcement agencies to arrest you upon contact.
How to Get a Ticket Reduced in North Carolina
To get a ticket reduced in North Carolina, you must go through a program called "iPlea” and it allows drivers who have received speeding tickets to go online to onlineservices.NCcourts.org and ask the District Attorney’s Office to reduce their fine. The District Attorney’s Office will consider the request as long as its 7 days before the driver’s court date.

Mr Avery and his team are great, I needed some help with a criminal matter and was looking around to find an attorney that would be absolutely truthful regarding my case and someone that wouldn’t just want to take my money. I’ve had bad experiences in the past, but Mr. Avery was on top of it and very insightful, he kept me informed on the process every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands and never had to stress. Thank you Trevor and the team!- Lily G.

Very upfront honest lawyer. Tough to find that integrity now a days in a attorney. He couldn't do everything and said so upfront gave a price and even offered a deposit of much less. Referred another attorney that could do everything. For that, I give five stars. Some might think it's much but time is money and appreciate yours and your honesty. (He doesn't get paid for consultation many charge for that) Thank you. Staff was super nice. She called me immediately when I left a email. He got back exactly when he said he would and discussed options.- Christina B.
