DWI
As drunk driving is one of the most commonly charged crimes in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina, this is a key part of our firm's criminal defense practice. DWI, or driving while intoxicated, is a criminal offense that involves a driver who operates a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. A driver may face these charges if his or her normal abilities are impaired by alcohol or drugs, or if a breath or blood test shows that he or she has a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. If convicted of DWI, a driver may lose his or her license and may face imprisonment, heavy fines, community service and other penalties. Fortunately, our lawyers are skilled in representing clients in the face of misdemeanor and felony DWI charges. We understand what evidence will play a key role in these cases and use our knowledge and resources to challenge the evidence from every possible angle as we seek a dismissal or acquittal.

The criminal justice system can be very complex and confusing, and defending against a serious criminal accusation requires real dedication to your case. Our passion is defending the accused and fighting for their freedom and future. The first and most important action to take is to contact our firm so that we can review the evidence and determine your best strategy for a defense. We move forward quickly to pursue every possible advantage.

You may have been pulled over for alleged drunk driving and were told that you failed a breath test or field sobriety tests such as the "one-leg stand". You may have recently been taken into custody for drug possession or may be facing formal questioning regarding a theft offense. Law enforcement may tell you that they have all the evidence they need for the prosecuting attorney to secure a conviction. The prosecuting attorney may offer you a plea bargain, and this may seem like your only option of avoiding maximum penalties. Though your options may seem limited or your case may seem helpless, it is important to remember that you have the right to legal counsel. A skilled criminal defense attorney may recognize opportunities in your case that you or a less experienced attorney may not see. You may be able to avoid a conviction through an acquittal at trial or may even be able to have your charges dropped entirely. Involve the skilled team at our Charlotte law firm and find out for yourself what can be done in the face of your criminal charges, whether these are for a misdemeanor or felony offense. We are prepared to fight for you and will be honest and straightforward in our assessment of the matter at hand.
