A trial lawyer for DWI and criminal cases
Chris Purkey is a seasoned trial attorney who provides clear guidance and prepared advocacy in criminal, family, civil and estate matters. In DWI cases he focuses on the details that decide outcomes: the legal basis for the stop, how field sobriety tests were given and scored, whether the breath or blood test followed North Carolina’s procedures, and the separate DMV consequences that run alongside the criminal case.
From the Locust office, he regularly serves clients in Stanly, Cabarrus, Union, Rowan and Mecklenburg counties, including the Albemarle, Concord, Monroe and Charlotte courthouses, and works with Chris Adkins on cases from the Lake Norman office in Huntersville.
