DWI law is very complex now...you can't handle this case without a good attorney. I would ask around your area to find a good one and pay the man his price...this can follow you for quite some time; so you want to make certain you have an attorney who is competent in this field and is capable of protecting your rights and insuring you don't receive an unjust punishment...the good news is that the Court is bound by the statute as far as punishment is concerned, so your lawyer should be able to give you a pretty good estimate of the sentence you face if convicted...if you contact me, i can give you the name of an attorney in your area who will do a find job for you...someone who is a member of the nc advocates for justice...the nc trial lawyers group that works primarily in this field...
