Charlotte DWI Defense Attorney

Putting Skill And Experience In Your Corner After A DWI Arrest

North Carolina has some of the harshest penalties for driving while impaired (DWI). In recent years, DWI laws have grown stricter, and they will likely continue to move toward tighter restrictions. As public opinion campaigns increasingly incite strong stances against drinking while driving, prosecutors have also begun to take DWI cases more and more seriously.

A conviction for DWI can lead to a broad range of penalties. Depending on the level of offense — and any priors you may have — you could face jail time, hefty fines and the installation of an ignition interlock device. On top of the criminal penalties, your driving privileges may also be impacted by a DWI arrest. You could face suspension or revocation of your driver’s license.

With The Law Office of Kevin L. Barnett on your side, you will not only have defensive tools at the ready to save your driver’s license, we can also make sure you can move forward with your everyday life after a DWI offense. Backed by more than 34 years of experience and a proven track record of success, you can rest assured that your case is in good hands.

Why You Need An Attorney

In DWI cases, the state has an experienced team of professionals on its side, including prosecutors, law enforcement officers and investigators who will all work together to build a case against you.

From the moment you’re pulled over by police, they are gathering evidence against you. You need to act quickly to defend your rights, and you deserve a strong advocate who can make sure this happens.

How We Can Help

The Law Office of Kevin L. Barnett has been handling DWI cases in Mecklenburg County for decades, representing clients from all walks of life facing:

• Repeat DWI offenses: If you have a prior record, you could face more significant penalties. Professional legal help is critical for those charged with a second or subsequent DWI offense.
• Problematic field sobriety test results: We will examine all aspects of your case — including field sobriety tests — to determine whether they were legally justified and properly conducted.
• Inaccurate blood and breath test results: Our lawyer will analyze whether the blood or Breathalyzer results can be suppressed (deemed inadmissible) due to lack of sufficient legal grounds.
• Underage alcohol offenses: For those under 21, an underage DWI conviction or underage alcohol violation can derail your driving privileges and your future. We can help you navigate the process and mitigate the consequences.
