People who have been accused of DWI (often called “DUI”) are often worried about facing jail time. North Carolina law recognizes five levels of DWI. Each one of these carries different consequences. For example, for a level one DWI, a minimum sentence is 30 days. In many cases, Anglin Law Firm can keep a client out of jail even on a Level 1 or Level 2 offense where an active jail sentence is mandatory. Consequences may also include community service, fines, alcohol assessment and follow through with recommended treatment. The consequences you may face in your situation depend on many factors. Prosecutors and judges may consider prior DWIs. They may also consider your blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the incident. In North Carolina, BAC for driving while intoxicated is .08, and higher levels may affect your case negatively.

“Will I lose my driver’s license?” This is a common question for people arrested for DWI. While you may face a suspended license, Anglin Law Firm may be able to protect your interests by getting a temporary driving privilege allowing you to drive while your license is under a period of suspension.

If you are facing a DWI charge, it is important to understand the law and how it may apply to you. Anglin Law Firm welcomes the opportunity to assist you and help you understand the charges you are facing.  Please contact Anglin Law Firm at 919-803-1516 to schedule an appointment with us.
