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.

The Opinions That Matter Most
Read What Our Clients Are Saying

I was facing 3 charges, granted the police officers completely overcharged and without merit, however, Trevor knew what to do in order to prepare a strong case to make sure that when he spoke with the DA this would be clearly displayed. If convicted of one of the charges I was accused of it would have put my employment in jeopardy. Needless to say, I was overjoyed and elated when I received his call that "ALL" charges had been dismissed! He charged me a reasonable fee and accepted a payment plan! I am extremely pleased with his service and would recommend him in a heartbeat!- Former Client

I hired Mr. Avery to represent me for my custody case. He was upfront with me about what to expect right from the beginning and he came through. He was easy to talk to, and I knew he was being honest with me about my case. I had to call him a couple of times after business hours because of my work schedule and he still made time to answer my questions. I have my kids thanks to Mr. Avery. I would recommend him to anyone.- Former Client
