DWI

A Driving While Impaired is a serious misdemeanor offense in North Carolina. Not only do DWI charges have their own unique history of litigation and caselaw, but DWI charges are punished differently than any other misdemeanor. A conviction for DWI can carry punishment up to three years in prison and result in a revocation of your driving privileges. However, you may be eligible for a limited driving privilege even if you are convicted.

That is why it is important to have an attorney well versed in DWI law and sentencing. Attorney Conor Degnan has extensive experience litigating DWI cases and will fiercely fight for your rights.
