Alcohol-Related Offenses in North Carolina
Our lawyers provide skilled representation and defense for a wide range of alcohol-related offenses, including:
- "Drinking Tickets"
- Public intoxication
- Disorderly Conduct
- Resisting Arrest
- Possession of an open container in a vehicle or public place
- Underage purchase of alcohol

If you pay off a drinking ticket, you have plead guilty to a misdemeanor and created a permanent criminal record that you will have to answer to for the rest of your life. In some cases, especially for charges of underage consumption, it may be possible to work out a deferred judgment that will help the accused get the charge dismissed, avoid a permanent record and become eligible for an expungement. By speaking with us as soon as possible about your charges, you can protect your future.
