We understand that one mistake does not make you a criminal, and we will help you get through this difficult time.

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.

Traffic Violations

Even the smallest traffic violations can add up to serious consequences, due to North Carolina's point system. Severe violations will have immediate consequences. A speeding ticket for excessive speeds may result in the loss of your license. With all traffic violations, we will attempt to get your alleged offense reduced as much as possible:

  • Speeding Tickets
  • Reckless and Careless Driving
  • Driving on a Revoked License
  • Driving without Insurance
  • Driving without a License
  • Improper Tags

Our Statesville offices are located on major interstates, and as a result we represent many clients from across North Carolina and out of state. Handling the entire process for you, you may not have to appear in court to resolve your case.
