From Mistake To Second Chance: How Legal Defense Transforms Dwi & Traffic Cases

We’ve all made mistakes behind the wheel — a wrong turn, driving a bit too fast, or misjudging how much is “too much” to drink. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the law, those mistakes can carry lasting consequences. At Scott K. Dillin, Attorney at Law, our mission is simple: turn your one-time mistake into a second chance.

Whether you're facing a DWI charge or a traffic violation, we want you to know that your case is defensible, your rights matter, and your story isn't over.

Why You Should Never Face DWI or Traffic Charges Alone

Even minor traffic violations in North Carolina can lead to big problems down the road. And when it comes to Driving While Impaired (DWI), the stakes are even higher.

Our clients often come to us after trying to handle things themselves — paying a fine, missing a court date, or accepting a plea deal they didn’t fully understand. Our job as your Asheville DWI Lawyer and Traffic Ticket Attorney in Asheville is to prevent that kind of regret — and instead, build a strategy that protects your future.

The Long-Term Impact of a DWI or Traffic Violation

Most people assume that traffic tickets or DWIs are short-term problems. But here's the reality we see every day:

What a DWI Conviction Can Cost You:

  • License suspension or revocation

  • Up to $10,000 in fines, court costs, insurance hikes, and fees

  • Mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs

  • A criminal record

  • Damage to job prospects, especially for commercial drivers or licensed professionals

Traffic Tickets Are More Than Just Fines:

  • Driver’s license points that lead to suspension

  • Sharp increases in insurance premiums

  • Loss of employment if your job requires a clean driving record

  • Escalating consequences for future violations

These are not outcomes you should accept lightly. And you don’t have to.

What Makes Our Approach Different at Scott K. Dillin, Attorney at Law?

We’re not a large, impersonal law firm. We don’t hand off your case to a junior associate. When you call our office, you’re speaking to real people who care about your outcome and who understand how stressful facing legal trouble can be.

Too many drivers believe that once they’ve been ticketed or arrested, they’re out of options. But the law provides many ways to fight — and win.

For DWI Charges:

  • Challenging probable cause for the stop

  • Examining field sobriety test procedures

  • Investigating breathalyzer calibration and maintenance

  • Verifying chain of custody on blood test evidence

  • Arguing for reduction or dismissal based on rights violations

For Traffic Violations:

  • Requesting a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC)

  • Seeking charge reductions (e.g., speeding to improper equipment)

  • Challenging radar and pacing evidence

  • Representing out-of-state drivers without requiring them to return

As your Traffic Ticket Attorney in Asheville, I’ll explore every path toward minimizing or eliminating the impact of your citation.
