Prosecution Experience On Your Side
Attorney Patrick Roberts formerly served as an Assistant District Attorney in three North Carolina counties. This experience provides our firm with inside knowledge of how every DWI case is handled — both in court and in hearings before the Division of Motor Vehicles. We know what it takes to prepare a client for DMV hearings and strive to have their driving privileges restored as soon as North Carolina law allows. For example, those convicted of third DWI offense (two of the three convictions within the last five years) must wait five years before becoming eligible for driver's license restoration.

North Carolina v. J.O.
Charge:
DWI
Facing:
1 year in jail
Result:
Case Dismissed
Our client lost her trial in District Court and received a 45 day jail sentence. She hired Roberts Law Group to help her with her Superior Court efforts. We argued a motion to dismiss based on an unconstitutional driver's license checkpoint and prevailed. Any evidence that flowed from the stop of her vehicle was ordered suppressed by the Judge. Case dismissed. Our client blew .13 on the EC-IR II breath device.
North Carolina v. D.B.
Charge:
DWI
Facing:
6 months in jail
Result:
Not Guilty
Our client pulled up to a Driver's License Checkpoint after leaving a local bar. He was initially very nervous and couldn't get through the alphabet despite being given four opportunities. He did not perform satisfactorily on further field sobriety testing according to the officer and was arrested. Despite blowing .08 on the EC-IR II, we successfully argued that there was reasonable doubt as to our client's appreciable impairment and we asked the judge to render a not guilty verdict. The judge agreed.
North Carolina v. J.L.
Charge:
DWI
Facing:
6 months in jail
Result:
Dismissed
Our client was stopped by officers after police officers allegedly saw her driving in a suspicious manner on a dead end road. After pulling our client over, officers detected a strong odor of alcohol. The State alleged that our client blew a .12 on the breath device. After a pre-trial hearing, the judge granted our motion to dismiss for lack of reasonable suspicion to stop her vehicle.
North Carolina v. J.Y.
Charge:
DWI, Reckless Driving
Facing:
6 months in jail
Result:
Dismissed
Our client was arrested after he allegedly caused a motor vehicle accident while under the influence of alcohol. The State alleged that he made incriminating statements to the investigating officers and that his breath alcohol concentration (BAC) was .17. We filed motions to suppress his statements to the officers and to dismiss the case for lack of probable cause to arrest. At a pre-trial hearing, the judge dismissed both charges.
