North Carolina prosecutors are tough on DWI and DUI charges. Whether this is your first offense or you have multiple prior convictions, you want to take the charges seriously to protect your future. We will protect your rights in criminal court and do everything we can to protect your driver's license, working to get you a limited driving privilege when possible.
In any drunk driving case, there are multiple strategies to consider. We will look at the probable cause for the initial stop, the execution of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer tests to ensure they were conducted properly. Exploring all options for a strong defense, we will also consider opportunities to accept a plea. We will conduct a thorough evaluation of the evidence before we make a decision to either accept a plea or fight in court.
It is also important to consider that there are multiple levels for DWI charges. Level five is for first time offenders and unlikely to receive a jail sentence. Level one is the most severe charge. We will to do everything we can to reduce your charge to the lowest possible level. Sometimes that can be done by accepting help in a treatment program, including alcohol awareness programs or inpatient rehabilitation.
