DWI Legal Representation:

North Carolina has strict laws and penalties for DWI.  If you have been arrested for DWI, you should contact Farrior & Associates immediately.  In 1983, North Carolina amended its Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws, stating that a person could be convicted in two ways.

The first is driving while subject to an impairing substance.

The second is violating the state’s Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) or Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) limit of .10.

If the prosecution tried to convict you of the driving while impaired charge, they were required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your physical and/or mental abilities were impaired to an appreciable extent by the use of drugs and/or alcohol while you were operating a motor vehicle. The North Carolina General Assembly changed the legal limit to .08, following a nationwide effort to lower the level necessary for a conviction of Driving Under the Influence/Driving While Impaired.

Farrior & Associates offers non-judgemental legal representation to all of our clients. Farrior & Associates, DWI defense attorneys can help alleviate the anxiety you’re feeling by answering your questions and we will inform you about the pending penalties you could face upon conviction. During this difficult time, It just makes you feel better to know that there is someone out there who is on your side.  We want to protect your rights.

Speeding Tickets Legal Representation:

Getting a traffic ticket in North Carolina can be a serious ordeal. Not only will it affect your driving record, but it can be very costly.  In addition to fines and court costs, insurance companies have their own points systems, separate from the DMV's. So your insurance rates could skyrocket for common violations like speeding.
