Perry & Waters: Criminal Defense in Henderson & Northeastern North Carolina
Here, we understand the courts, the prosecutors, and the stakes. Whether you're facing DUI/DWI, traffic violations, probation or parole issues, or white‑collar accusations, we tailor our defense strategy to your case and your life.
What should I do first if I’ve been arrested for DUI in Vance or Granville County?
Remain silent, ask for a lawyer, document everything you remember, and contact an experienced attorney immediately. We can help preserve evidence and challenge procedural violations.
Can traffic violations affect my driver’s license even if I don’t go to jail?
Yes. Accumulated points, license suspensions, insurance rate increases—all are possible. A good attorney may be able to negotiate to avoid these penalties.
What happens if I violate probation or parole?
It depends—some violations are technical (missing a meeting, small infractions), others more serious. In many cases we can minimize the consequence, negotiate, or have hearings to contest violation claims.
What is the statute of limitations for white collar crimes in North Carolina?
It depends on the specific charge. Some financial crimes have longer periods—an attorney can clarify based on the statute involved in your case.
