North Carolina has some of the harshest penalties for driving while impaired (DWI). In recent years, DWI laws have grown stricter, and they will likely continue to move toward tighter restrictions. As public opinion campaigns increasingly incite strong stances against drinking while driving, prosecutors have also begun to take DWI cases more and more seriously.
Has your license been suspended or revoked because of a traffic violation or another criminal charge? If so, you may be wondering how you will get around or have concerns about possibly losing your job because of your inability to use your vehicle lawfully.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what to do next, don't hesitate to reach out to a skilled and experienced local attorney to guide you through the process of getting your license restored.At The Law Office of Kevin L. Barnett, our attorney has more than three decades of criminal law experience.
College is the time to make mistakes and learn from new experiences. However, underage drinking violations can turn a youthful error into a lifelong criminal record. If you have been charged with an underage drinking violation, don't put your future in jeopardy. Turn to an attorney who understands what's at stake and will work hard to get you the best possible outcome.
Conspiracy charges provide prosecutors with a great deal of latitude. In many cases, hearsay rules intended to protect the defendant from unsubstantiated claims do not apply at trial. As a result, statements made by co-conspirators can be entered in as evidence against the accused.

Even if a defendant did not participate in the actual crime itself, if found guilty of conspiracy, they could receive the same sentence as the person who carried out the crime.In certain cases, even if a crime was not committed, those accused of conspiracy can still be sentenced as if the crime had actually occurred.

He was able to give me a second opportunity in life honestly so my record wouldn’t be ruined ! Once again he is going to help me with a traffic ticket honestly I would recommend him to any of my friends if they ever had any traffic violation and court with law offenses. Thank you Kevin for your help !

I dealt with Tammy. She explained the process and delivered on her promises.
Got my (dubious) ticket - failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign (three way) in a subdivision - dismissed.
No fine, no court costs, no points, no record!
And the cost total was less than paying the ticket would have been!
Cannot recommend more highly.
Thanks, guys!

Top notch. professional and very responsive. Mr. Barnett and his staff worked with me to resolve/reduce my speeding violation. Definitely worth the reasonable cost rather than trying to navigate the traffic court by myself. Could not be more satisfied. 5 stars easily.

They are amazing. My charges were dropped all together and I had a minor speeding ticket compared to potentially losing my license. Tammy was very kind, helpful, and patient anytime I had called the office. If you ever need a traffic violation team, this is the one to go with, hands down. Thank you both again for everything!

I contacted Kevin L. Barnett in regards to my 17 year old son receiving a speeding ticket. Tammy returned by voice message promptly that same day. She was kind enough to inform me of the process and general costs for his citation. My son lives out of town, we were pleased to hear that Kevin would appear in court on his behalf. The fees were exactly what Tammy stated except for the court cost. Kevin was able to get them reduced. He and his staff made the experience as pleasurable as possible. I highly recommend there services.

Mr Barnett took care of my ticket like a Pro. I was caught going 15 over the limit, he had it reduced to improper equipment. I had got busted for expired registration and he had it thrown out. I’m a DOV driver so I definitely had to get that 15 over ticket off of me or I would of lost my job.... but Mr Barnett saved me. Trust me he is the best in the city no doubt about it.Tammy is also awesome she kept me updated through the whole process and is very easy to talk to.

From the initial call, Kevin L. Barnett was engaging and easy to talk to. We found common ground early, and I felt as if I were speaking with someone who knew that the human element is still important in business. What was also a plus for me was the fact that he spoke highly of Tammy, his Legal Assistant. After hearing my concerns and my recap of my citation, he was confident that his firm could help. And, they did. The outcome was in my favor, and my Legal Shield referral discount was also a plus. I would use this firm again, but hopefully I won't have to! Great job.

I have had prior infractions on my license and I have worked with other lawyers in the past, but Kevin Barnett is by far the most professional and prestigious lawyer you will find in the area. I am very appreciative of the low cost and the high value that came with receiving representation from Mr.Barnett. These words should also be said about his Legal Assistant Tammy, who made things very clear to me and never missed a beat when it came to representing me. If you are looking for a lawyer to represent you, look no further!

Kevin Barnett is fast, reliable, and has superb knowledge on criminal defense. Without Kevin's expertise, I dont think that I would have gotten off so easily, however again, he used his magic and got both of my cases got dismissed! It was a serious time for me as well because It was a vop with another case ongoing. I would of got into some serious trouble if it wasn't for him! I highly recommend Kevin as he is one of the best lawyers in the Charlotte area! Again, thank you.

I hired Mr. Barnett in August of 2013 to handle my speeding ticket. For those who are wondering, I was charged with going 60 in a 45. 0-60 mph from a standing stop in less than one-tenth of a mile...in my Ford Flex. Riiiight!

I spoke with several other attorney offices while looking for someone to handle my case. NONE of the other offices in Charlotte would even allow me to speak to the attorney who would be handling my case! Only paralegals who told me "there is no way your case will get dismissed, it will most likely be reduced to improper equipment." Then these gals went on to tell
