Criminal Law: Raleigh & Wake County

We dedicate ourselves at Hardison & Associates to providing high quality legal services, and the team we have working in our Criminal Law Division is no exception. We strongly believe in the presumption of innocence, helping people so they don’t have to face the criminal justice system alone. The job of our Raleigh criminal lawyers is to provide experienced legal advice, so that we can best fight for your needs.

Many of us at some point in our lives receive a speeding ticket. We understand how the State of North Carolina requires the assignment of insurance points to certain motor vehicle offenses, such as a speeding ticket. It’s important to know what consequences a plea of guilty or responsible can have on the cost of your insurance. In addition to insurance points, there are also driver’s license points, which can trigger a license suspension or revocation. Our Criminal Law Division understands the nuances of the law and how to best help you.

Our experience includes managing and resolving Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges. It may well be the case that you have a defense that can prevail in court. After consultation we can determine whether this is a viable option. You should be aware of the severity of the charge and the consequences you may face, such as jail time, high fines, or community service hours. Remember, also, that a DWI charge can affect the status of your license. We have expertise regarding what these consequences are, and whether there may be helpful legal tools available, such as a Limited Driving Privilege.

Our Raleigh criminal defense lawyers can certainly help defend you on other charges. We have experience handling a wide number of misdemeanors that appear in District Court. These include assault charges, traffic violations (such as vehicle registration problems), certain drug cases, and injury to property cases, just to name a few.

What To Do Right After An Accident?

Having an accident can be a very stressful situation whether you are injured or not. However, there are a few things you can do right after an accident to make the ordeal a little less stressful. First, at the scene get as much information as you can about the other party. Get the driver’s name, address, phone number and license plate number. If there are any witnesses that saw the accident and come to check on you, get the witness’s name, address and phone number. Many times witnesses leave before the police arrive. However, if you have this information you can give it to the police officer and she/he can follow-up with the witness if there is a dispute as to what happened in the accident.
