Areas of Practice

Driving While Impaired (DWI)

In North Carolina, driving while impaired, commonly known as DWI is a serious offense.  A few of the potential consequences include driver’s license suspension, fines and court costs, jail time, drastically increased insurance rates and mandatory completion of an alcohol and drug safety course (ADETS).  If you have been charged with DWI in Wake County, it is extremely important that you hire legal counsel familiar with the local criminal justice system and related time-sensitive deadlines.  When you work with me, expect clear and open communication, careful explanation of your options and sound advice – helping you make smart decisions every step of the way.

Criminal Offenses: Misdemeanors + Felonies

Being charged with a crime can turn your whole world upside down and it can also be a very scary and confusing experience.  Even minor charges can lead to major consequences affecting your future, your job, and your family’s financial security. I approach criminal defense with one goal in mind: provide client-centered, truthful legal guidance always and a tenacious defense when needed.

Traffic Offenses

A traffic ticket can ruin your day, jeopardize your driving privileges, and cause your auto insurance premiums to dramatically increase.  Even a simple speeding ticket can quickly become expensive and inconvenient. My goal is to help you avoid harsh penalties, protect your driving record, and save you valuable time and money.
