We Are A Premier Drunk Driving Defense Resource In Guilford County
Whether you are an adult or still younger than 21, it is important to speak to an experienced criminal defense lawyer as quickly as possible after you are arrested on suspicion of DWI. I will thoroughly investigate the details of your arrest, including examining if:
- Police had reasonable suspicion for the stop
- There was probable cause for an arrest
- A breath or blood test was performed and whether the data is accurate
A recent change to North Carolina DWI law is a mandatory 30-day jail sentence if you have a passenger younger than 18 in your vehicle at the time of your arrest. Along with the potential for fines, license suspension, increasing insurance rates and mandatory ignition interlock usage, you cannot afford not to fight DWI charges as aggressively as possible.

What Happens To Me If I’m Pulled Over For A DUI?
If a police officer pulls you over under suspicion of drunk driving, you may be asked to perform several field sobriety tests. In North Carolina, if you are asked to submit to sobriety testing, you do have the right to refuse; however, refusal may not be your best option. Comply with the officer and ask for an attorney as soon as possible. DUI is a criminal charge that leads to arrest, and potentially incarceration and fines.
Can The State Take My Car?
In some cases, the state may confiscate your vehicle or suspend your license. This may be for temporary impoundment or for full surrender. If you are concerned about ways to protect your independence and mobility, ask our team about challenging state seizure laws.
Is There Any Way To Fight A Breathalyzer Test?
Yes. Breathalyzers are not infallible, they are machines and require regular maintenance. They can provide false results depending on several factors, including improper calibration. William G. Causey Jr. is familiar with the science behind Breathalyzer tests and can analyze your case for weaknesses.
