Greensboro DUI Defense Lawyers

Allegations of drunk driving and criminal DUI/DWI charges have become serious business in the state of North Carolina. A conviction could result in serious penalties. Experience will definitely count in a successful defense of your rights. Our Law Firm of Schlosser & Pritchett DUI/DWI defense attorneys will work their hardest to give you that positive outcome.

Our background in these cases is extensive. We have worked closely with clients, many of them college students, in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, Burlington, Raleigh, High Point, and the counties of Guilford, Alamance, Randolph, and Rockingham. In each instance, we prepared the best possible strategies in their DUI/ DWI cases.

DUI Penalties

A drunk driving conviction can carry with it serious and long-lasting consequences: jail or prison time, a heavy fine, and suspension or revocation of a driver's license. A person who is facing a drunk driving charge should not hesitate to seek immediate legal counsel from an experienced drunk driving defense attorney, such as those who staff our successful criminal practice at the Law Firm of Schlosser & Pritchett.

The range of penalties for drunk driving has become extremely severe in recent years. First-time offenders face a potential jail sentence and fines, except in the event of a guilty plea. Repeat offenders are treated more harshly, receiving substantial fines and mandatory jail sentences that may not be suspended or waived by the court.

State administrative regulations often call for a convicted person's license to be suspended or revoked, in addition to any criminal penalty. Some defendants have attempted to argue that this administrative suspension is double jeopardy, prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. These arguments have never succeeded.

A drunk driving charge is a serious criminal charge. In our vehicle-dependent society, most of us rely on our mobility to accomplish all kinds of tasks, essential or menial. A person who is charged with drunk driving stands an excellent chance of losing this precious freedom, either temporarily or permanently. They also run the risk of suffering a fine or a jail sentence, plus the beginnings of a criminal record.

If you have been accused of a drunk driving offense, you cannot afford not to have effective counsel on your side. This is when experience truly counts.
