Roberts Law Group, PLLC
RALEIGH, NC, August 22, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Raleigh criminal attorney Patrick Roberts, at the Roberts Law Group, defended against a Driving While Impaired (DWI) charge. The woman's DWI charge was dismissed in military court in Cumberland County.
Mr. Roberts' client, a woman who was active in the armed forces, was charged with DWI after driving on a North Carolina military base. Police suspected that she was under the influence of alcohol or some other impairing substance at the time she was pulled over. The impact of a DWI could have had serious consequences for her military career and other aspects of her personal life.
As a result of Mr. Roberts' strong criminal defense work, the DWI charge was dismissed. Instead of a DWI conviction, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor careless and reckless driving. The reduced criminal charge meant that the woman only had to pay a fine instead of receiving probation.
Mr. Roberts encouraged the Special United States Attorney prosecuting the case to consider the recent military trauma his client had experienced. He argued that her recent traumatic experiences caused her to violate the law, It was important that the military prosecutor understood that a DWI conviction was not appropriate under these special circumstances.
