Practice Informed By The Perspective Of A Former Cop

Attorney Matthew J. Barton is a former police officer who knows the protocol required to make a valid DWI stop. Having been in the shoes of an arresting officer, he knows the concerns and priorities that police officers have when they make DWI arrests, and uses that firsthand knowledge to defend you against charges that may not fully hold up in court. He can also recognize when police officers overstep their authority. Having been radar-certified, as well as certified on alcohol breath test equipment, attorney Barton is well-versed in the errors that can creep in during a DWI arrest and skew results. Don’t assume that your fate is sealed if you are charged with a DWI. Call our office and get a professional opinion first.

Give Yourself A Chance After A DWI Charge

Dedicated Defense For An Insidious Charge

Driving while impaired (DWI) is a serious charge that can come with harsh consequences in North Carolina. Depending on the severity of the charge and the number of offenses, the penalties can include jail time, fines, license suspension, community service and required use of an ignition interlock device (IID). You could also lose your car or have your insurance premiums increase exponentially in the wake of a drunk driving charge. Furthermore, schools, potential employers and the military may also turn you away from valuable opportunities based on you having a DWI on your record.

Don’t Settle For Just Any Lawyer For Your DWI Defense

Building a solid DWI defense requires specific knowledge of the sentencing and procedural guidelines underlying this area of law. This is especially true given that these guidelines continually change, and can be complicated. For example, the way your case is treated could depend on many factors, including:

Your number of DWI offenses
Your blood alcohol content (BAC)
Whether you refused a blood or breath alcohol test

Attorney Matthew J. Barton is a former police officer who has experience on the enforcement side of DWI charges. He understands police procedure when making an arrest, including specific protocols for use of radar and breath alcohol tests. Attorney Barton also understands how errors in arrest protocol can affect your case, as can flawed execution of field tests protocol. Our firm also represents clients who have been charged with DWI stemming from use of prescription drugs.

Make An Informed Choice For A Knowledgeable Defense

Without an attorney who knows the details of these aspects of a DWI charge, you could end up facing penalties you don’t deserve. When you’ve got a lot to lose, you need a lawyer who knows the terrain.
