Durham, North Carolina, DWI Defense
The police lights flash in the rear view mirror, and from that moment on law enforcement are gathering every shred of evidence they can get to make an arrest and get a conviction. If you have been pulled over on a drunk driving arrest, you need to take quick and decisive action to protect yourself from the serious and lasting penalties.
A defense lawyer a lot more than just try to prove your innocence. The reality is that many people accused of a DWI have, in fact, done something wrong. At the Richardson Law Firm, PLLC in Durham we work to get charges reduced or dismissed and evaluate your case from every angle to find options that minimize the penalties of your arrest.
Our lawyer puts more than 15 years of proven criminal defense experience behind your case.
Tackling All Aspects of Your DWI Case
At our law firm, we evaluate all aspects with your case, from the legitimacy of the stop to the handling of sobriety test results. We ask important questions, such as:
- Did police have a valid reason for pulling you over?
- Did police perform a valid field sobriety test?
- Was there probably cause for an arrest?
- Were your civil rights protected?
- Was the Breathalyzer test conducted properly?
If police acted improperly during a DWI/DUI stop then we may be able to get charges significantly reduced or dropped entirely. Even in cases where police acted appropriately at every stage, we negotiate with prosecutors to get charges reduced or act in court to seek alternatives to conviction and a criminal record.
When you have been charged with a DWI, or any traffic violation, we work to help you protect your rights and your driver's license.
