Raleigh DWI Defense

How we build an effective DWI defense

Your Driving While Impaired (DWI) case requires the input of a qualified attorney immediately, in order to begin an effective DWI defense in Raleigh.  Established in 1968, DeMent Askew, LLP has extensive trial experience that inspires confidence in our abilities.

In most cases, the officer will bring you to the police station for a chemical breath test, if he or she believes that you are under the influence of alcohol during an accident or traffic stop.  If you refuse to take the test, the Division of Motor Vehicles automatically revokes your driving privileges for 30 days.  This is in addition to any penalties the court applies to your case upon conviction.

Wake County give you 90 days from your first court date to file a motion to suppress or dismiss Raleigh DWI charges.  In order to build a solid DWI defense in Raleigh, our attorneys investigate the following:

• The legality of the traffic stop
• The legality of the arrest
• Whether the police administered the field sobriety tests properly
• Whether the police followed the blood and urine test procedures
• Whether the blood and urine test results were accurate and reliable

DeMent Askew, LLP helps clients with the administrative and court penalties resulting from a DWI conviction.  The potential penalties are severe, and there are no plea bargains.  You may plead Guilty or Not Guilty.  These are the only options.
