A DWI Charge Has Far-Reaching Consequences

According to research by LendingTree, Greensboro, North Carolina, may have the highest percentage of drunk drivers nationwide.

In addition to active prison time, license suspension, higher vehicle insurance premiums, and a criminal record, a conviction of drunk driving charges can have significant repercussions. Our criminal defense attorneys in Greensboro, NC, are aware of your situation. In our many years of experience, there is nothing we haven’t seen.

We are well-versed in the applicable law, your alternatives, and the most effective strategies for building a defense that will help you achieve the best possible outcomes throughout the legal process.

Implied Consent

Following a DWI arrest, the police will typically ask the driver to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test. Drivers who illegitimately reject the test might have their licenses revoked for a year in North Carolina under the state’s “implied consent” legislation. After completing a portion of the revocation period without driving, the motorist can be granted restricted driving rights, depending on the situation. Contact our law firm to discuss your options if this happens to you.

Why You Might Be Pulled Over

A North Carolina police officer cannot stop you randomly. They need “reasonable suspicion” to satisfy the grounds for the initial stop. Officers look for indicators of intoxication or activities that may support a traffic stop. Initial warning indicators could include speeding, veering and weaving between lanes, or failing to give the proper signal. The policeman will be on the lookout for more indicators of intoxication as he approaches your car.

It is also pertinent to note that, in principle, a police officer may conduct a traffic stop against a driver for any traffic infraction, no matter how minor, even if the stop was undertaken because the officer had suspicions about the driver committing another non-traffic-related crime.
