No matter the conditions of your arrest, we’ll work with you to put your interests at the front of our criminal defense strategies.

DWI cases are built around three crucial elements:
It is important to note that not all DWI cases are the same, as each includes a unique set of circumstances. Typically, it is through these circumstances that our attorneys can either find evidence of police or prosecutor mistakes or uncover certain details that makes you more sympathetic to the judge (such as driving behavior when the officer initially pulled you over).
Law enforcement must have a reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle before they turn on the lights and siren. Often, evidence of lawful driving can be used to bolster your case.
Many law enforcement officers are inexperienced or improperly trained on how to administer field sobriety tests. As your Raleigh DWI Lawyer, we are educated on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration guidelines, and understand how your performance on these tests can be used to your advantage.
Test results for impairment are the linchpin of any DWI prosecution. But our state also requires that officers inform those charged with certain rights, including the right to have a witness present during the test. Officers must also hold valid chemical analyst permits and breath instruments must be properly maintained. We understand the laws governing breath and blood tests, and will fight for your rights to suppress an unlawful breath or blood testing procedure.
In addition to representation in court, the Law Office of Dewey P. Brinkley can guide you through DMV hearings, the effects of a DWI allegation or conviction on your insurance, and driving privileges, such as a suspended or revoked license.
DWI comprises a broad field, ranging from police procedures in a DWI stop to issues regarding juveniles and underage drinking. Furthermore, at the District 10 Wake County Courthouse, located at 316 Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, you may have to appear for a variety of reasons, such as for Drug Treatment Court, your arraignment, and other reasons.
