We’ve got you covered! Did you know that there are more than 170 people serving a sentence of two or more years for DWI charges in North Caroline state jails? Some of these sentences are due to “Laura’s Law”.

Laura’s Law derived in 2010 from a mother whose daughter was killed in a drunk driving accident caused by a driver that had a history with multiple DWIs. Laura’s Law ultimately creates a mandatory prison sentence of 12 to 36 months for repeat DWI offenders. The mandatory sentence this law creates calls for criminal defense attorneys that know how to handle a client’s case who has multiple DWI charges.

For those charged with a misdemeanor DWI, the lowest level of punishment is Level 5, which mostly consists of unsupervised probation. The highest level of punishment for a misdemeanor DWI is Aggravated Level 1, which is the sentence given when three or more grossly aggravating factors apply. All Level 1 and Aggravated Level 1 sentences have a mandatory requirement that the defendant serve a time of imprisonment to get special probation.

 

Special probation refers to an alternative to the mandatory term of 12 to 36 months that must be served for an Aggravated Level 1 DWI offense. This sentence can be suspended if special probation is applied, which requires the defendant to serve a term of imprisonment of 120 days. While on this probation, the defendant must not consume alcohol for the entire duration of the 120 days.
