Protect Your License and Insurance Rate
For each subsequent DUI/DWI and traffic violation conviction you receive, the penalties increase. You face a possible fine, jail time, probation, and the loss of your license. With recent changes in North Carolina drunk driving laws, it is even more important to contact a lawyer at Baucom, Claytor, Benton, Morgan & Wood for an initial consultation.
DUI/DWI Defense
We defend against first, second, or multiple drunk driving and traffic charges. Our firm, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, focuses on keeping your driving record clear of any conviction.
Besides the fine and jail sentence, a DUI/DWI conviction will increase your insurance rate and may affect your employment. Under North Carolina's habitual offenders law, the state may charge you with a felony if you caused an accident or have multiple convictions on your record.
The defense against a DUI/DWI is complicated and requires the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney. At our firm, our attorneys stay current on the best practices to defend a DUI/DWI charge, including:
- Consulting a DUI and a drug recognition expert
- Filing pre-trial motions, including motion to suppress evidence
- Requesting and attending the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) hearing
- Seeking limited driving privileges
Traffic Violation Defense
Protect your driving privileges and insurance rates by speaking to one of our traffic ticket attorneys. In North Carolina, you must deal with a DMV point system and a point system affecting your insurance rate. Many traffic offenses can result in an insurance point or points that can result in a three-year rate increase on your insurance policy. We can assist you in ensuring that you receive no insurance points or minimize the insurance points you receive as a result of a traffic violation. Thus, we can help you save money on insurance rate increases.
