DWI / DUI Defense: Wake County, Durham, Chapel Hill
Unfortunately, too many attorneys treat DWI and traffic tickets as a type of high-volume, quick-revenue enterprise. At our office, we understand how much a DWI conviction can affect your life. We take DWI charges seriously and provide a vigorous defense on behalf of each client we serve. We take seriously your constitutional right to be "presumed innocent." In presenting your defense, we insist that the state and the court do so as well.
Like any responsible attorney, we cannot guarantee a particular result in any case. We will guarantee, however, that if the state wants to put a DWI conviction on your record, it will have to prove its case "beyond a reasonable doubt" to do so. We will not simply throw in the towel. We will not take the quickest and easiest plea.
Our office represents people throughout Wake County, Durham, and Chapel Hill. We handle all DWI related matters, including:
- First time DWI charges
- Repeat DWI offenses
- Sentencing mitigation
- Willful refusal DMV and trial hearings
- Plea agreements and trial
- Superior Court DWI appeals
What sets our firm apart from others is our experience in DWI and traffic charges. Attorney Timothy Vanderweert practices exclusively in traffic defense with an emphasis on DWI charges. If you have been arrested for DWI in Wake County, Durham, Chapel Hill, or anywhere throughout the Triangle region, our office is your first stop for experienced, quality legal representation.
If you have been charged with drunk driving, there ARE ways to raise a strong defense. When handling a DWI case, we are patient and persistent. We take time to speak with the arresting officer, gather all notes produced by the police and thoroughly learn all the facts of your case. After learning the facts, we often attend multiple hearings to insure that your case is heard by an impartial and fair judge. In some cases, simply taking our time and being patient can result in positive results. In other cases, we may be able to raise a defense based on the conduct of an investigating or arresting officer. In every instance, we do our best to develop and execute a winning defense on our client's behalf.
Our firm has had significant success in helping people protect their driver's licenses. We also have significant experience representing clients charged with repeat DWI offenses. If you are facing a second, third, or higher DWI charge, you may be facing stiff criminal penalties and up to two years of jail time. An experienced lawyer like Timothy Vanderweert may be able to help you avoid conviction or shave significant time off your sentence by providing an aggressive defense on your behalf.
