People get behind the wheel after drinking for many reasons. In some cases, the driver didn't even realize he was impaired, or thought enough time had passed and he was safe to drive. Sometimes, a person just makes a bad choice. Regardless of what led to the arrest, facing driving while impaired (DWI) charges in North Carolina is a serious matter, even if it's your first run in with the law.
Simply being charged with DWI in North Carolina often results in your driver's license being revoked for a minimum of 30 days. However, we can typically get your driving privileges reinstated almost immediately. We do this by either, first, challenging this civil license revocation, or second, getting you a limited driving privilege.

After receiving an HOV lane violation, I contacted Browning & Long. I was able to speak with C. Todd Browning on my first call. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I felt like he was in complete control over the situation and I had full confidence he would have it taken care of for me. The legal assistant Jennifer also kept in great contact and was very friendly and responsive whenever I had a question or concern.
The firm was able to handle my situation and resolve it with no points going on my license. I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone needing help

I reached out to this firm when my son received a traffic ticket (impeding traffic) a few months ago. He was scheduled to appear in court back in November, but after Browning & Long took over the case, my mind was put at ease. The case was dismissed and he did not have to pay the fine. Thanks guys for a smooth process!

I called regarding a traffic ticket my son received. I worked with Attorney Browning who explained the process to me and what he needed me to do in clear and simple terms. I followed his instructions and In less than two days the ticket was dismissed. This is the lawyer to see if you have any type of driving related offenses.

Would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing to have a speeding ticket resolved. This was my first speeding violation so I was unsure who to use or how to proceed. They were able to ensure that I didn't get any points on my record or insurance. I was impressed with how responsive they were to my questions and how great of a job they did communicating with me throughout the entire process. Their staff was extremely helpful and kind! Would definitely use them again in a heartbeat!

This was my first traffic violation. I received a ton of letters from lawyers regarding my ticket and was definitely feeling overwhelmed with all the possible negative outcomes they were saying. I decided to go with Browning and Long after one phone call. They were very professional and polite and immediately had me at ease! Long story short they got my case dismissed long before my scheduled court date. I feel relieved and thankful. Will definitely recommend!!!

I had an excellent experience with Browning & Long. This is the second time my family has worked with them and the service has been amazing both times. They were always very quick to respond to my emails (within 48 hours) and provided thorough easy to follow directions. They are one of the most affordable options I have encountered as well. I highly recommend using them!

A five star experience in every way!
I was given a speeding ticket while away from
home, which I was upset with since I have a clean record and was not speeding (later, I found out the the town is notorious for this).
Shortly after, I received a pile of advertisements from law firms. I looked into them all and chose Browning and Long.
Every part of the experience was fantastic. Personal attention, clear instructions, and a great staff.
My case was scheduled during the pandemic, as well, so there was a lot of confusion and delays. But Todd was completely chill and took care of everything.

I highly recommend Browning & Long to anyone in need of their services! They were very passionate about helping me with my case and reassuring me at a time when I needed it the most! Mr. Long was very caring when I explained my personal situation and understood my needs! Everyone that I've dealt with at this firm has shown nothing but support and made sure that I was aware of the entire process and what options I had. They were able to resolve my case in a timely manner and delivered the best possible result!! Not to mention that they are super affordable and don't just treat you like another payment

Todd Browning did a great job of handling a pretty messy speeding ticket my husband got in NC. It could have resulted in fines around $300, plus potentially 12 points on his license, and a possible 3-month suspension of his license. Not to mention the increase of insurance! Todd was really great about communicating the process to us, letting us know what to expect, and the possible outcomes. We retained him immediately and happily paid his reasonable fee. Within only about an hour or so following the scheduled court hearing, Todd called me with the great news--one charge had been reduced so
