A criminal charge might be the scariest thing you face in life. Whether you are accused of a DWI, assault, juvenile crime, sex offense, theft, or another crime in Wake County, a conviction or guilty plea could result in severe consequences. North Carolina assesses harsh penalties for misdemeanor and felony criminal offenses.
For instance, being found guilty of either could lead to incarceration and/or fines. Additionally, depending on the offense, sanctions may include driver's license suspension, victim restitution, and sex offender registration requirements. The conviction will also show up on your criminal record, which could make finding a job, getting a place to live, and readjusting to society difficult.

In Raleigh, a DWI or driving while intoxicated, occurs when someone operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) at or above the legal limit. This limit is.08 for the average driver and.04 for commercial drivers. Additionally, North Carolina has zero-tolerance law for drivers under 21 that states that a minor should not have any alcohol in their system while operating a vehicle.
One of the most inconvenient and even serious consequences of a DWI conviction is the loss of your driver's license. Under North Carolina law, you may even lose all or part of your driving privileges before your case goes to court. Having proper legal representation is essential in fighting to keep your license.
As a zero tolerance state, North Carolina takes a hard stance on underage drinking. If you are under the age of 21 and caught driving after consuming drugs or with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of.01 or higher, you will be charged with driving after consuming by a person under 21. Driving after consuming by a person under 21, a Class 2 misdemeanor, is punishable by up to 60 days in jail.

This was the best experience my husband and I had in dealing with Chris and this law firm. Very professional, pleasant and thorough. Chris did exactly what he said he would do in getting back with us the same day we contacted him. Gave my husband the upmost respect and was straight forward in his suggestion. in moving forward. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone for any legal issues.

When an ordinary family faces extraordinary circumstances, you need to feel that you are in good hands. Mr. Floyd’s support, patience and strength were evident throughout the 2 years that he had my case as he negotiated with the A.D.A. on my behalf. His true word was “We don’t go to court if we don’t have to, but I will defend you from my heart if we have to.” His style, approach and execution are second to none. Chris is by far the best man you will need to defend you in the State and federal court system, civil or criminal. He handled my case very efficiently and got the job done. I

Chris did a great job handling my Reckless Driving ticket. I was pulled over by several police officers that accused me of racing another vehicle and issued me a citation. I spoke to Chris over the phone who offered to reach out directly to the officer that issued the ticket. After several months of back and forth, the ticket was dismissed in court. Additionally, he is working on getting the citation expunged from my record!

Christopher Floyd is the best attorney you could ask for he will fight those tough cases he's all about getting cases dismissed not plea deals. He isnt going to be intimated by DAs or anyone because he puts in… the hardwork to fight for you and truly cares about his clients. I'd never use anyone else and I can tell you when someone asks me for a recommendation he's the only anme I'd feel comfortable giving out because I know without a doubt theyll be taken care of and more than likely will be happy woth the results!
