  • Anytime you are being investigated for a criminal offense, whether it is a DWI, assault, or drug charge, it is in your best interest to exercise your right to remain silent! Do not give the officer false information. Do not consent to a search of your person, vehicle, or home. Only tell the officer that you do not wish to make any statements without your lawyer present. Contact our office immediately to speak with our attorneys regarding your case! We're happy to have some of the best DWI lawyers in Salisbury, NC.
  • North Carolina has some of the strictest motor vehicle laws in the United States. For example, according to our team, you could be suspended in North Carolina for traveling over 55 mph! Generally, our attorneys should be able to prevent any license suspension by reviewing the facts of your case and negotiating with the District Attorney’s office to resolve your case successfully. However, there are times when traffic citations will suspend your license. In those situations, you may qualify for a limited driving privilege. Please schedule an appointment with one of our DWI and personal injury attorneys in Salisbury, NC to see how we can prevent you from losing your license or advise you about a limited driving privilege.
  • Sometimes officers will tell you that a citation can be paid. While this may be true, it could have a significant impact on your license and insurance points. You should schedule a time to speak with our DWI lawyers in Salisbury, NC, about the consequences of paying off a ticket and how our representation could benefit you.

    "I want to provide a review of my experience with Attorney Marlowe Rary. My son received a number of extremely serious traffic offenses. Prior to our court date, Mr. Rary advised us on what to expect in court and also provided recommendations of actions my son could take to place him in a better light before the Judge when his case was heard. On the court date, Mr. Rary met with us and explained all aspects of the charges and what to expect. When my son’s case was heard, it was obvious Mr. Rary had a good rapport with the District Attorney and the respect of the presiding Judge. He obtained an outstanding result for my son, and his legal fee was extremely reasonable. I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney to anyone with legal needs in the Rowan County area."
