An Experienced Wake County DWI Defense Lawyer On Your Side

Being arrested and then charged with DUI/DWI is an overwhelming experience for most people. There’s the traffic stop, the field sobriety tests and the arrest, all of which take place in public. Then, you are handcuffed and taken to the police station for further BAC tests and additional questioning by the police. You will be searched and fingerprinted, and mug shots will be taken. You may be charged with DWI and put in a holding cell until you can post bail or until you have to appear at a hearing.

It is no surprise that this is a traumatic ordeal that leaves people confused and scared. In this emotional state, you may be tempted to plead guilty just to put an end to it all. That is not advisable, though. A guilty plea has the same consequences as a conviction. Typically, people are better off fighting the charges with the help of an experienced lawyer.

At Cotten Law Firm, PLLC, our Wake County DWI defense attorney is ready to assist you. Our clients receive timely legal counsel and guidance through this difficult time. We are here to help, not to judge. With over 3,000 five-star reviews on Google, attorney Jeremy Cotten is a trusted advocate you can rely on.

DWI Is A Serious Matter In Wake County

In 2020, Wake County had more DWI-related traffic accidents than any other county in the state. Not surprisingly, Wake County police arrest and charge many people with DWI every year, often during safe driving operations.

If you were charged with DWI in Wake County, you need an experienced attorney to defend you and protect your rights. Penalties for DWI are stiff, even for a first-time offense, and may include:

  • The loss of your driver’s license
  • Fines and fees
  • Jail time
  • Costly alcohol education classes
  • Possible installation of an ignition interlock device at your own expense
  • A criminal conviction on your record

In addition, if convicted, you may have to purchase special car insurance that is much more expensive than regular insurance.

With consequences that are this severe, you do not want to make the mistake of trying to talk your way out of a DWI conviction. It is better to speak with a DWI defense attorney and let them handle talking to the police, prosecutor and judge.

How We Protect Your Rights After A DWI

We will look into the case against you, examining the evidence and police procedure. If your constitutional rights were violated, we will seek to have the charges reduced or get the case dismissed when possible. Keep in mind that each case is different, and the outcome depends on your specific situation.

We can also help you with the administrative driver’s license suspension part of your case. We will represent you at the hearing to restore some or all of your driving privileges.
