Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

I was in a accident aug. 30th, 09.

I was the only one involved.

I was air flighted.

My alcohol level was .297, very high..

I completed a Intensive Care Treatment Program for Alcohol.

I was never charged or talked with anyone.

It is now 10 months later and I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the Iowa State Patrol stating they got the results from my urine specimen and they need to meet with me in person to complete the investigation and left a number for me to call.

What does this mean?

Is it normal to receive a letter in this way?

Should I get a lawyer before I call them?

How long do they have to charge me from the time of my accident?

This will be my 2nd OWI, my first was 5 years ago.

What am I looking at for charges and are there anyway that I can get them dropped?

I have 2 kids and need my license and to be home with them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks.

This is a question Todd Miler should answer. I know he's listed on this service. If not call him at his office or better yet hire him to assist you. He shares office space with me. Steve Lombardi
