A Strong Defense is Necessary When Facing Drug Charges

The most important thing you can do when facing drug charges is to hire an experienced drug crimes defense attorney. Attorney worked as an assistant public defender prior to opening our law office. He has literally handled thousands of client matters and brought hundreds of cases to verdict. Our lawyers know exactly what to prepare for your defense and what holes to look for in the prosecution’s case.

Whether you are a college student who was charged with possession of marijuana while on your college campus, or are an individual facing felony drug trafficking charges, we can help you. We will investigate all aspects of the police stop and search to see if the police performed an illegal search and seizure. When possible, we will seek to have the evidence thrown out due to improper police procedures or actions. If that is not possible, we will seek to minimize the charges or remove the charges from your record.

Keeping Your Record Clean Through First Offender Programs

A conviction for any drug crime can have serious consequences. This is even more true for college students, as a conviction for having even a small amount of drugs in your possession can keep you from getting financial aid in the future.

If this is your first offense, our lawyers will work with you and the courts to see if you are eligible for a first-offender program. If you are eligible, and if you complete the program as required, your record would remain clean.

DUI/DWI Defense Lawyer

When you are charged with DUI or DWI in North Carolina, you enter a largely inflexible system designed to punish numerous drunk driving violators and deter them and others from committing further violations. Financial costs can be high, time spent in hearings and court can be lengthy, and jail time (up to two years) and the long-term loss of driving privileges can result.

Do not enter this system alone. Stakes are high but, with professional legal representation, so are the chances for leniency and for reduction of your sentence. At the firm, we are experienced in handling drunk driving defense. Attorney has helped thousands of people accused of drunk driving and other traffic violations.

We can meet with you to explain procedures and options, then begin the investigation of your case. We will talk to police officers to determine whether they made a Breathalyzer error or other procedural error at the time of your alleged violation. If we cannot have your charges dismissed, we will fight to have your charges reduced and for leniency in sentencing.

In North Carolina, a DWI charge leads to an initial 30-day revocation of your driver’s license. The risk of prolonged jail time and license suspension rises with further violations and factors such as the presence of children in the car and driving with a revoked driver’s license.

We can assist you in arranging an alcohol assessment and taking other steps between your violation and your court date to increase your chances of getting your license back. Drug or alcohol treatment and other steps can also lead to leniency, including suspended sentences and the granting of limited driving privileges that allow you drive to work, bring your children to day care, and accomplish household errands.

Providing Strong Underage Drinking Defense

We have represented college students from these schools and many others, providing the aggressive underage drinking defense required in cases involving:

Open containers
DWI/DUI
Driving after consuming under the age of 21
Urinating in public
Alcohol possession, including possessing malted beverages in public

Our lawyers are familiar with all potential penalties you may be facing, including criminal consequences such as license revocations, fines and a criminal record, as well as university or college sanctions such as suspension from school or being kicked out of school activities or sports programs.

We will aggressively defend you in court and in your university suspension hearing. We will seek to have your criminal charges dismissed. If that is not possible, we will pursue alternative sentencing options like first offender’s programs or community service. When possible, we will also look to have the offense expunged completely from your record.
