Got a North Carolina Traffic Ticket and You’re from Georgia?

Help for Georgia Drivers

Resolve Your North Carolina Ticket Without Leaving Home

If you’re a Georgia resident who received a speeding or traffic ticket while driving through North Carolina, you don’t have to return for court. The Law Office of Algernon Williams helps out-of-state drivers handle North Carolina citations remotely—protecting your Georgia driver’s license, insurance rates, and peace of mind.



Our Charlotte-based firm regularly represents drivers cited on I-85, I-77, and Highway 74, helping them avoid unnecessary travel and costly convictions that can follow them home.

Understanding Your Situation

How a North Carolina Ticket Impacts Your Georgia License

North Carolina and Georgia both participate in the Driver License Compact, which means traffic convictions are shared between states. If you’re found guilty of speeding or another violation in North Carolina, it’s likely to appear on your Georgia driving record—adding points and raising insurance premiums.


Convictions for speeding 15 mph or more over the limit, reckless driving, or school-zone violations can even suspend your NC driving privileges, which Georgia will honor. Fighting or reducing the charge with a North Carolina attorney helps prevent that.

Common Issues Georgia Drivers Face

  • Speeding on I-85 or I-77 between Atlanta and Charlotte
  • Work-zone and school-zone violations
  • Driving more than 15 mph over the limit
  • CDL or commercial driver citations
  • Failing to appear or paying online without strategy

We handle it locally, so you don’t have to.

A Simple, Remote Process

Our process is fully digital and designed for convenience. Most clients never step foot in a North Carolina courthouse:

  1. Schedule a free consultation by phone or online.
  2. Send us your ticket and driving record.
  3. Sign a waiver allowing us to appear for you.
  4. We attend court and negotiate with the DA.
  5. You receive the outcome—often with reduced or no points.

Why It’s Worth It

Ignoring or paying your NC ticket can hurt your Georgia record for years. Hiring a local attorney often costs less than long-term insurance increases. We focus on outcomes that minimize total cost—not just fines.
