Limiting The Damage From Traffic Violation Convictions

Christopher A. Wellborn has represented people facing all major and minor traffic offenses, including:

  • Speeding tickets
  • Stop sign/stop light violations
  • Failure to stop for a blue light or siren
  • School zone speeding/passing a school bus
  • DUI/DWI/DUAC
  • Driving under a suspended license
  • Reckless driving or racing
  • Hit-and-run
  • Fleeing police
  • Reckless homicide (vehicular manslaughter)

Under South Carolina’s points system, your license can be suspended for one too many traffic citations in a certain period. An accumulation of multiple speeding tickets and/or major offenses in a three period can brand you as a habitual offender, punishable by a five-year license revocation. Any drug conviction will also result in license suspension for at least six months.

Christopher A. Wellborn is an attorney who has 30 years of criminal law experience and knows the tendencies of area judges and prosecutors. He works to get violations such as reckless driving (six points) or speeding tickets (four points) reduced to charges that will result in the lowest points possible. If you cannot afford to take any points, he can go to trial to challenge the radar accuracy or other aspects of your traffic stop.
