Misdemeanor Criminal Defense

At Weaver, Bennett & Bland, P.A., our criminal defense lawyers defend the interests of those charged with traffic violations, drunk driving/DWI, drug possession, misdemeanor assault, and other misdemeanor criminal offenses. You may have been wrongly accused, may face charges unsupported by evidence, or may have simply exercised poor judgment that led to your arrest. If you ask us to represent you, our attorneys will see that your Constitutional right to due process is upheld.

If you have been charged with, or are under investigation for any offense, even possession of drug paraphernalia or marijuana, communicating threats, or driving while impaired—issues that may seem easier to simply accept, it is important that you consult with a criminal defense lawyer at the first opportunity. The future consequences of your situation may have a significant impact on your life, ranging from an extended loss of driving privileges to a permanent criminal record. Only after speaking to an attorney familiar with the area courts and criminal law will you have the information you need to make well-informed decisions in the days and weeks ahead.

If you were arrested for DUI/DWI or reckless driving, our lawyers will examine the arresting officer's statements and the evidence against you. Our attorneys may recommend you accept a plea bargain with an alternative sentencing option such as deferred prosecution, or that you go to trial. We assure you that as your counsel, we will provide practical advice and aggressive advocacy.

If you would like to speak with one of our criminal defense lawyers, please call 704-844-1400 or e-mail our Matthews office to make arrangements for a consultation. Our attorneys practice mainly in traffic and municipal courts in Mecklenburg County, Union County, and Cabarrus County, but we also handle matters for clients in other areas of Southern and Western North Carolina.
