North Carolina Is One of The TOUGHEST STATES FOR DWI CHARGES

If you are stopped for suspicion of a DWI and have a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher, or refuse to submit to a breath test, the state will automatically suspend your driver’s license for 30 days as a civil revocation. This revocation can be challenged, but you must do so immediately. The attorneys at Plumides, Romano & Johnson, PC can help you with that.If you do not succeed in overturning the 30-day revocation, you can apply for a limited driving privilege on the 11th day of your suspension.

If you are convicted, your license will be revoked for at least 1 year.

A limited driving privilege will allow you to drive only during specific hours for purposes such as work. As a condition for license reinstatement, you must complete a drug and alcohol assessment and treatment required by the court.

If you had a civil or criminal suspension at the time of your arrest, it is even more important to have an experienced attorney because you will be facing increased sentencing penalties.
