In North Carolina, the law makes it a criminal offense to simply possess a fake ID — whether you have used it or not. White & Hearne, L.L.P. defends college students, high schools students and other clients who have been charged with:
- Illegal possession of someone else's ID
- Possession of a fake ID
- Using a fake ID to buy or consume alcohol
- Underage drinking
- Underage DWI/DUI
When so much is at stake, it is in your best interests to have experience and knowledge on your side.
If convicted for possession of a fake ID, you will face mandatory license suspension without the possibility of obtaining a restricted license (hardship license). In addition, there are far more severe collateral consequences to consider. Your entire future will be tainted by the fake ID conviction on your criminal record. You may face constant concern over your past when filling out job applications, college applications and beyond. We recognize the significance of your driving privileges to your livelihood and the importance of a clean record to your future.
Attorney Woody White is highly effective in negotiating favorable solutions with the prosecutor — frequently resulting in dismissed charges or a deferral where the charge stays off your record once you have completed probation.
While we can never promise a specific outcome in your fake ID or underage drinking case, we can promise that with attorney Woody White on your side, you will have a lawyer who is determined to do everything he can to protect your driving privileges and your criminal record.
