Consequences of a DWI in North Carolina

A DWI conviction could lead to a sentence of up to three years in jail. However, jail time is not the only penalty you face for this crime. You may also receive the following consequences:

  • Suspension or permanent loss of license
  • Fines ranging from $200 to $10,000
  • Increased insurance premiums
  • Community service
  • Requirement to install an ignition interlock device

A DWI conviction also stays on your record for seven years. As you likely already know, a criminal record can impact your ability to get a job, receive scholarships, and rent an apartment.
Defenses to a DWI Charge

While our legal team can’t guarantee a particular outcome for a case, we promise to do everything we can to fight for our clients’ best interests. Here are some of the defenses we might raise to protect you from a DWI conviction:

  • Lack of probable cause
  • Failure to recite Miranda warnings
  • Improper administration of sobriety test
  • Inaccurate test results

If the officer who arrested you made even one small mistake, the court may be forced to throw the whole case out. Our DWI lawyers will investigate your case to see if such a defense is possible.
