Unintended Consequences
If you've been involved in a DUI or OVI accident, you need experienced legal help in your corner. Call us today for a consultation.
A lot of people think of DUI cases as cut and dry. But the truth is that police make mistakes and those mistakes can lead to a false charge of DUI. Since most states have some form of a zero tolerance DUI law, this means a false accusation can literally ruin someone’s life. A qualified Greensboro DUI lawyer understands that not all DUI or DWI charges are cut and dry. There are many circumstances that surround each case that are unique and need close attention.
Understanding The Laws
The laws are tough and they are constantly changing making it harder for you to understand your rights. If you are pulled over for a minor infraction and the officer decides to ask you to submit to a blood alcohol content test you may not realize you have the right to refuse.
Our Greensboro DUI lawyers can give you the answers you need and help you understand what your rights are and how to protect them. Everything is explained in easy to understand terms that you can relate to. We leave the legal terminology in the court room where it belongs.
DUI Charges
DUI charges can carry many penalties and some are very severe. If you are arrested for a DUI or DWI you are at risk for vehicle impoundment, loss of license, large fines and potential jail time. Our Greensboro DUI lawyers can assist with reducing or even eliminating your charges and will protect you from serving any jail time in most cases.
Without proper representation you are at the mercy of the courts and risk severe penalties that were otherwise unnecessary. Don’t ever walk into the court room alone. Have an experienced and qualified attorney on your side.

Huntington Beach is contemplating using Facebook to help combat drunk drivers. The department would post pictures of those arrested for DUI on their Facebook page.
A California beach town may turn to Facebook in an attempt to reduce drunk driving. City council members in Huntington Beach will consider a directive requiring police to post the mug shots of DUI repeat offenders on the department’s Facebook page.
“In my view, posting this information is a reasonable step to take to enhance the safety of Huntington Beach residents and visitors,” Devin Dwyer, the council member who submitted the idea, said in a memo distributed to city officials.
