State v. N.C.

April, 2026
Charges: 4th Degree DWI - Misdemeanor

Creative careless driving outcome. This means the client receives a stay of adjudication to a DWI charge and pleads and is convicted of a careless driving charge at the same time. The end result is a conviction just to the careless driving, while the DWI charge is dismissed. This is a unique outcome and one that was needed for a client that does a lot of work in Canada. What makes this even more unique is that Mr. Gempeler obtained this, despite the client blowing a .15 and having no legal defenses to work with. To get a creative non-DWI outcome on a .15 is almost unheard of - yet, that's what we do at North Star Criminal Defense.
