Honest Advice. Strategic Representation.

We're In Your Corner

I lost my license for 30 days following my charge, but I absolutely have to drive for work. What can I do?

North Carolina chemical analysts measure your breath alcohol concentration (BAC) with the Intoximeter EC/IR II machine. If it measures your BAC to be .08 or above, the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suspends your license for 30 days. While you can’t do any driving whatsoever for the first ten days of your 30 day suspension, we can get you a limited driving privilege good from the eleventh day to the 30th day. Bring us the following items, and we’ll take care of the rest:

  • A certified copy of your driving record
  • A DL-123 form from your insurance company
  • A Substance Abuse Assessment from a drug and alcohol counseling center
  • A signed letter from your employer on your employer’s letterhead stating the hours during which you need to drive if you need to drive outside the standard hours of 6:00am to 8:00pm Monday through Friday.

Choosing a lawyer can be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Whether you’re dealing with a criminal charge, a traffic offense, or a family law matter, the attorney you trust to handle your case can make a huge difference in your life and in your future.

Many of the people our law firm works with have never needed to hire an attorney before. They don’t know what to expect or what type of outcome to hope for.

What Our
Clients Are Saying

Thank you Kurtz and Blum! I had a citation that was super old, and had no idea what to do with. Some weren’t even willing to go the extra step to touch it. My attorney, Matthew Minikus, made the entire process incredibly easy to work with, even with me having moved to another state! Their office staff are wonderful and take those “I don’t know what this means!” Calls with EASE and grace. They are honest and timely with their responses and made communication a breeze through the entire process. I must also add- these are not “arm and a leg” attorneys. They didn’t over charge me (even though I felt that they had every right to for the work they did) – incredibly fair and reasonable. They’re TRULY in your corner.

Kayla Grady

Matt was professional and made me feel calm throughout my entire process. His paralegals, Melissa and Debbie in particular, kept me informed and maintained contact with me, easing my worries throughout.

They were very open and clear about what they could do for me, and they did it flawlessly. Hopefully, I’m never in need of a law firm again, but should the need arise, I will be reaching out to Kurtz and Blum! Thank you for all the hard work!

Brittany karns

Promote and professional, to say the least.

Namee Barakat

Very helpful and people-oriented. Walked me through everything and got my cases dismissed in 2 court dates. Thanks for all you guys did to help!

Krishawn Mcbryde

Great experience. I recommend Kurtz and Blum. Matthew Minikus knows his way around in court and got our case dismissed. Great job.

Tim Harris

Kurtz and Blum is an absolutely amazing, first-rate law firm. Their slogan is “we’re in your corner,” and it shows. My attorney was Colby Berry, and he was an amazing attorney. He had excellent communication, took time to explain everything to me, and made sure my issue was taken care of, going the extra mile. It was a complete success. I highly recommend Kurtz and Blum and Colby Berry for your legal needs. They are an exceptional law firm you can trust!

Garland Ragland

By far, it was the best experience after the worst experience of my life. They made the process easy and comfortable. I ended up with the best outcome possible. Hats off to the entire team!

Nikki Croteau

From the start, Kurtz and Blum went out of their way to provide an amazing experience. They took on my case with only two days’ notice. I was fortunate enough to work with Rudy Benitez. Mr. Benitez went above and beyond to make sure I had an outcome I’d be happy with. I was very impressed with how professional, straightforward, and just all-around great Mr. Benitez was! I couldn’t recommend him enough. I’m very thankful to have had the representation of Mr. Benitez!

Tristan Siggers

Very pleased with this experience. They took care of my traffic problem quickly and professionally with the result that I was hoping for. I would highly recommend Kurtz & Blum.
