Every day the laws become tougher on drunk driving. If you are convicted of DWI the State of North Carolina will revoke your license for at least a year. You may be required to serve time in jail even with no prior record. Your insurance premiums will increase 400% for at least three years. You will be required to attend treatment and do community service.
If you have a previous DWI conviction within the past 7 years you will certainly have to do active prison time if convicted.
Many attorneys in North Carolina have never tried a DWI case and won’t take the time to explore defenses to the charge. Those attorneys choose simply to plead their clients guilty. Robert O’Hale has tried hundreds of DWI cases in his 28 year career. DWI charges can be challenged in court based on an illegal seizure, lack of probable cause for arrest, and improper procedures using the Intoxlyzer, and other technical aspects of the law. Before you plead guilty you should explore possible defenses to the charge. If convicted you may be eligible for a limited driving privilege that will allow you to drive in spite of the conviction. You need an experienced attorney in North Carolina to defend your DWI case. If you are charged with Driving While Impaired, call Robert O’Hale for a Free Consultation.
