- Certain constitutional rights
- Fixed statutory rights
- Jail time
- License revocation
- Cost of car insurance
- Limited Driving Privileges
- Costly fines
- Reasonable suspicion to make a vehicle stop for DWI
- Probable cause to make a vehicle stop to investigate a crime
- Probable cause to arrest for DWI
At Hardison & Cochran, we stress the importance of knowing your rights. You need the advice of an experienced Driving While Impaired lawyer. Contact our Raleigh DWI attorneys today. Like all criminal charges, you have a right to plead not guilty and have a court place the facts to the law and determine whether you’re guilty or not guilty. Some circumstances even give rise to mandatory jail time for a DWI conviction. This is why consultation is so critical. Our Criminal Law Division can be reached at 1 800 738 0449 and you can speak to an attorney so that you can learn more about your options, or you may contact our Raleigh criminal law attorneys online. If after consultation a determination is made that a plea of guilty is in your best interest, having a lawyer guide you through the court process can be very helpful. You may be eligible for a Limited Driving Privilege, which gives you the right to drive for certain activities while your license is revoked.
A helpful resource for learning more about the law of impaired driving is the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) webpage. There is no substitute, however, for the advice of experienced legal counsel. If you are facing a DWI charge, you should hire an experienced Raleigh criminal lawyer. Our team has the experience and desire to help you through the process so that your rights and liberties are best protected.
