Raleigh DUI/DWI Lawyer

The laws regarding Driving While Impaired (DWI) have become increasingly harsh over the last several years.

A charge of DWI now triggers an automatic revocation of that person’s driving privilege for at least 30 days without a trial. In many cases, an experienced attorney can help secure a limited driving privilege after 10 days of this period, if appropriate action is taken quickly.

If you need to contact an experienced DUI/DWI lawyer in Raleigh, NC or the surrounding areas, call the drunk driving attorneys at the Law Offices of Karl E. Knudsen at 919-828-5566. If you prefer, you may also email the firm.

If convicted of DWI, a person faces punishment that can include fines of up to $2,000; imprisonment for up to five years, forfeiture of the motor vehicle used, loss of drivers license, and insurance increases of up to 400%. Many DWI cases require mandatory jail sentences and even a first offender could be sentenced to jail.

If you receive a citation or are arrested, there may be steps that can be taken to reduce these adverse effects. An experienced attorney can advise you about possible defenses or measures to minimize the penalties in the event of a conviction and can sometimes eliminate the requirement that you personally appear in court.
