If you have been charged with your first DWI/DUI offense, there is some key information that you need to know.

DWI/DUI Legal Concerns

The first thing you need to know is that North Carolina takes drunk driving charges very seriously.

• A first DWI/DUI conviction is punishable by up to two years in prison and a $4,000 fine. 
• An aggravated felony DWI/DUI can result in an automatic military discharge, a lifetime ban on owning or using a firearm and a permanent driver’s license suspension. 

Since 9/11, individual states are sharing more and more database information and some have begun using face recognition software. If you are stationed at Fort Bragg, a North Carolina DWI/DUI conviction could easily follow you home on your criminal record, increasing your auto insurance premiums significantly and possibly complicating your military career.

Prompt legal action can make the difference between an acquittal and a conviction. Prompt legal action can help save an individual’s driving privileges. Gregory Byrd is an experienced DWI/DUI lawyer, based in Fayetteville, who takes pride in offering his clients prompt and experienced legal advice.
