DWI/DUI Representation
What is the difference between DWI and DUI?
NC refers to this offense as Driving While Impaired, or DWI. This can include more than just driving when intoxicated by alcohol, although alcohol is most common.
Anything that appreciably reduces your ability to drive, like prescription or recreational drugs, can be considered impairing substances.
Common usage, and other states, still sometimes refer to DUI, or Driving Under the Influence. But, in NC, DWI is the only actual charge.

What is a limited driving privilege?
Sometimes a high-speed speeding ticket or DWI can cause revocation or suspension of your driver's license.
Often people need to have a driver's license for essential areas in their life. NC law allows individuals under certain circumstances to be eligible for a limited driving privilege related to:
- Employment
- Maintenance of your household
- Education
- Court-ordered treatment or assessment
- Community service ordered as a condition of probation
- Emergency medical care
If you have lost your license, or are concerned about a suspension of your license, please call us!
Not everyone is eligible, but a limited driving privilege can help you maintain your life if your license has been suspended or revoked.

"I live in Kentucky and had the misfortune of being stopped within a "speed trap" resulting in traffic violation requiring me to attend a court session. I had contacted a lawyer who was to represent me but unfortunately became seriously ill. I received an official letter from the NC Court system found out I was in danger of losing my license and increased fines. I searched the Hendersonville, NC area and found an ad for the Pearson Law Firm. Mr. Pearson answered my frantic call and after explaining the situation agreed to represent me and did so the very next day after I sent in some information. He also successfully had the infraction reduced to a backseat seatbelt violation where I immediately paid the fine. Mr. Pearson was very accommodating and quickly turned the situation to a close. I would recommend the Pearson Law Firm to anyone who needs assistance in the Hendersonville, NC area." -- D. S.
