DWI · Implied Consent · Wilmington

Professional Traffic Bail Bonds in Wilmington

North Carolina's implied consent law means a DWI arrest in Wilmington can trigger a civil license revocation at the magistrate's office before you ever see a judge — separate from, and faster than, the criminal case itself. We know the New Hanover County magistrate's routine well enough to have paperwork moving within the hour.

  • DWI / DUI, first-offense and repeat
  • Reckless driving on US-17 and I-40
  • Driving while license revoked (DWLR)
  • Beach-season hit and run cases
  • Habitual traffic offender bonds
