Have you been charged with a drunk driving or other traffic offense?

Losing your license can have serious repercussions for your family, job, and personal life. North Carolina uses two point systems for monitoring driving privileges. One is enforced by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”). The other is enforced by the insurance industry. The North Carolina legislature enacted the Safe Driver Incentive Plan (“SDIP”) as the insurance industry’s point system. Frequency and severity of convictions are directly related to the likelihood of driving privileges being suspended or revoked under the DMV system. Frequency and severity of citations as well as convictions are directly related to insurance rates under the SDIP.

We represent clients in the courtroom and during Department of Motor Vehicle hearings to preserve or restore driving privileges and to manage insurance costs. We also handle disputes between insured individuals and their insurance companies before the North Carolina Department of Insurance. We will inform you of your legal rights and vigorously defend your rights throughout the legal proceedings. If you are afraid of losing your license or paying higher insurance premiums, you need an experienced attorney.
