Fight DWI Charges
If you have been arrested for a DWI, you could face harsh penalties, such as loss of your driver's license, stiff fines and jail time. For military members charged with a DWI, the consequences could be even more severe. However, you can fight DWI charges — and you don't have to do it alone.
Charlene Edwards Law Office has successfully represented hundreds of individuals and service members in North Carolina facing drunk driving charges. When you work with us, you will have an experienced and accessible legal team on your side.
Civilian and Military Lillington Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
When you work with our firm, we will review the facts surrounding your traffic stop and develop a strong case in your defense. We will present any mitigating factors such as a blood alcohol level lower than .09 at the time of the stop, voluntary driving school and other factors that may help you receive a reduced punishment.
In North Carolina, if you are arrested for a DWI, the officer will immediately suspend your driver's license for 30 days. Following a DWI conviction, you could face a suspended or revoked license for up to a year for a first offense and longer for second or subsequent offenses. Our Harnett County DWI attorneys can help you secure limited driving privileges that will allow you to drive to work.
The consequences of a DWI conviction can be especially damaging for military service members, who could face a demotion, suspension of military services or even a dishonorable discharge. These punishments are in addition to the civilian charges of fines, jail time and loss of driving privileges. Our firm represents service members who were arrested for a DWI off-base. We will attempt to reduce the charges against you and the penalties you may face.
If you have been convicted of a DWI, an expungement will clear the conviction from your criminal record. Our firm can assist you in seeking an expungement.
