Repeat DWI/Habitual DWI
Repeat and habitual drunk driving cases are complex with ever-changing state laws and guidelines for law enforcement to follow during an investigation. As members of the community, the lawyers at Woody White Law Firm PLLC not only possess insight into the local court system, but they also stay current with the latest laws passed by the North Carolina state legislature.
Strong Defense For People Charged With Habitual Drunk Driving
Repeat DWI offenders see their penalties increase significantly after each arrest, specifically jail time, fines and multiyear license suspension. Habitual drunk driving, a felony tried in Superior Court, is charged after the fourth DWI conviction within 10 years. Sentences are more than life-changing and disruptive in their repercussions.
Penalties are mandatory and include:
- Minimum one year in prison
- Lifetime driver’s license revocation without the possibility of reinstatement
- Substance abuse treatment program
- Fines
- Vehicle forfeiture to the state
