Experienced North Carolina DWI/DUI Attorneys
A DWI/DUI arrest is not simply a magnified traffic ticket. It is a criminal matter as well as an administrative issue involving your driving privileges. In the short run, from an administrative standpoint, you may lose your driving privileges and owe large fines.
In the long run, from a criminal standpoint, a conviction for driving drunk will result in a criminal record that can limit options in your life. With a drunk-driving conviction on your record, you may have trouble finding a job, finding housing, traveling abroad or serving in the military. Some would-be adoptive parents have been painfully surprised to learn that a DWI/DUI conviction in their past could potentially even derail the adoption.
The Problem Won't Go Away by Itself
The magnitude of the negative consequences associated with a drunk-driving conviction make it is essential to have an experienced lawyer on your side. Start protecting your constitutional rights as soon as possible after your arrest for driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

When we investigate the circumstances behind a drunk-driving arrest, we often find flaws in the prosecutors' cases against our clients, such as:
- Lack of probable cause for the traffic stop: Law enforcement officers may not have had a valid reason to pull you over.
- Intoxilyzer questions: An Intoxilyzer (or Breathalyzer) may not have been properly tested, calibrated or maintained, casting doubt on its results.
In some circumstances, clients may refuse to take breath tests at traffic stops. If you refused a breath test, it may be necessary to take your case to court to maximize the chances for the best outcome. Our attorneys regularly handle drunk-driving cases in court and are never reluctant to take your case to trial.
