Garner DWI Lawyers
- Bridges, Sam:
It is important to remember that District Attorneys in North Carolina vigorously prosecute DWI defendants. Public opinion regarding the dangers of drunk driving has created intense political pressure on prosecutors and judges to seek convictions and raise their conviction rates. Fewer and fewer judges review the facts of each case with a great deal of scrutiny.
It is important to hire an attorney to analyze and prepare to defend you in the face of a zealous District Attorney. An attorney can often challenge the reasonableness of the traffic stop in a DWI case and exercise your right to a trial in those cases where the facts may point toward your innocence.
Even If you cannot avoid a conviction it is important to hire an attorney to guide you through the process of dealing with the many sentencing and compliance issues. For instance, an attorney can prepare a pretrial and post trial driving privilege if you are eligible, can discuss your options regarding sentencing, and can explain the need for and options for substance abuse assessments and substance abuse classes.
Finally, if you are facing a potential second or third DWI conviction, it is very important for you to discuss your sentencing options with an attorney because a second or third DWI conviction will land you in jail or prison. If you are facing a second or third DWI conviction it is most important for you to have a thorough discussion with an attorney or counselor or family members as to whether you need serious and intensive alcohol treatment.
- Calder McWilliam:
From challenging reasonable suspicion for the stop and the probable cause to arrest, to arguing Motions to Dismiss for other constitutional violations surrounding the denial of access to witnesses, and all the legal issues in between, hardly a D.W.I. exists that does not present some triable issue.
- Jonathan Breeden:
Perhaps your DWI or DUI citation came as a result of a breathalyzer test.... Or your arresting officer may have used alcosensors when you were arrested for drunk driving.
Whatever test was administered and whether or not this was your first North Carolina DUI offense, you deserve a fair process through the justice system. You need a competent DWI / DUI attorney to guide you through the process of defending your legal rights.
