Drug Crimes

At Beaver Courie, the criminal attorneys serving Fayetteville, Raeford and Pinehurst know how to fight for those charged with drug possession, drug manufacturing, drug trafficking, drug distribution, and more. In North Carolina, the penalties for a drug charge will often depend on the schedule type of the drug involved. Marijuana is a Schedule VI controlled substance. Drugs in Schedule V, IV, III, II, and I are increasingly more likely to be dangerous and addictive. The higher the schedule type, the higher the criminal penalties will be for associated charges. Our criminal defense team has successfully defended clients under a large range of circumstances involving drug offenses. Whether its marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth, or illegal prescription drugs, our lawyers have the know-how to investigate the evidence, explore all possible defenses, and find weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Sex Crimes

Sex offenses, such as rape, sexual battery, sexual exploitation, and indecent liberties are often considered among the most terrible crimes a person can commit. Prosecution of these crimes in Fayetteville, Raeford and Pinehurst can become a long, difficult process for the accused, and penalties for a conviction often include lifetime registration as a sex offender and prolonged prison sentences. With decades of experience defending sex charges, the Fayetteville criminal lawyers at Beaver Courie understand how to navigate these incredibly complicated situations. Through hard work, concentrated investigation and aggressive litigation, our attorneys have obtained exceptional results for clients in all types of sex offense cases, including the dismissal of more than 100 separate charges of child sex abuse in one of the highest-profile sex offense cases in North Carolina history.

Violent Crimes

Depending on the facts of a case, violent crime charges such as assault, assault with a deadly weapon, stalking, communicating threats, kidnapping, robbery, or homicide range from low-level misdemeanors all the way to the highest-level felonies. Whether arising from a workplace altercation, a bar fight, road rage, or a dispute at home, there is the potential for serious consequences and active jail time when dealing with a violent crime. Our Fayetteville criminal attorneys have established an expertise in handling all kinds of violent crime charges. We routinely employ aggressive defense strategies examining the charges based on the severity of any alleged injuries, the potential claims of self-defense, the intent of the accused, and more.

DWI / DUI

In North Carolina, being charged with driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs can have life altering consequences. People charged with a DWI / DUI are often convicted because their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was above the legal limit (0.08 or greater) while operating a motor vehicle. The legal limit is even less if you are a commercial driver (0.04 or greater). DWI/DUI charges can result in a license suspension that may affect your ability to get to work or school, and convictions can leave you with a criminal record that undermines your personal and professional opportunities. Our award-winning DWI attorneys are highly skilled at exploring all possible defenses in a case. For example, there may be ways to challenge the reason for the police stopping your vehicle, the tests police used to gauge impairment, and other procedural mistakes that may have occurred. The top priority for our team of Fayetteville DWI lawyers is exploring all possible ways to avoid conviction, but even when conviction is inevitable, we continue our efforts to minimize the penalties you may face so you can work your way back to normal.

Traffic Tickets

Traffic violations can create significant issues when they are not dealt with properly. If left unchecked, mismanaged, or handled without the help of an experienced traffic attorney, tickets can cause a hefty increase in insurance premiums as well as result in the revocation of your ability to drive. Our Fayetteville, Raeford and Pinehurst traffic attorneys understand the ins and outs of traffic law and are skilled in managing traffic tickets and driving records. In every case they will work in a manner geared towards keeping points off your license, your insurance premiums low, and your wheels on the road. In most cases, our traffic lawyers will go to court to negotiate on your behalf and eventually come to a resolution you are happy with without you ever having to step into court. If your license has been revoked or suspended, our attorneys can also assist you with cleaning up your driving record, managing driving while license revoked (DWLR) charges, and reinstating your license.

Domestic Violence

A person can be charged with domestic violence when they inflict physical injury upon someone with whom they have a personal relationship, such as a spouse, significant other, child, family member, or roommate. A person may also be charged for attempts to injure, for placing someone in fear of imminent serious injury, or for continually harassing someone to the point of inflicting emotional distress. Domestic violence convictions may have serious consequences including substantial jail time, but it may also have an impact on child custody, professional licensure, and citizenship. Domestic violence defendants may also be subjected to civil restraining orders that restrict their rights and create potential for additional criminal charges if violated. As a result, defendants often find their rights and freedoms at great risk while facing opposition from both the criminal and civil sides of the court system. The domestic violence attorneys at Beaver Courie are here to help.
