Why Hire a DWI Attorney

Why Hire a DWI Attorney

You might think that DWI cases are always straightforward: police see a driver swerving or failing to maintain his or her speed, that driver is pulled over, a Breathalyzer shows that the driver is intoxicated, and the driver is charged with a DWI and must then face the penalties.

Although some DWI cases do proceed this way, there are nuances to North Carolina’s DWI law that can result in a driver charged with DWI having the charges reduces or in some cases even dismissed. This is why you need to work with an experienced Elizabeth City DWI defense attorney if you are facing a DWI charge in Eastern North Carolina. There could have been a misstep on the part of the arresting police officer or another reason why the charge is not valid. An experienced dwi defense attorney can review the evidence and advocate on your behalf in court.

Drunk Driving and the Super Bowl

January 27, 2015 | by Danny Glover

As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, dedicated football fans across the nation have already begun planning their game-day parties and celebrations. If you are thinking of going to a friend’s house, a local sports bar, or some other destination to watch the game, we recommend planning ahead, especially if you expect to consume alcohol.

Plan ahead. It’s just not worth taking the chance – Danny Glover

Super Bowl parties can get very exciting. It is not uncommon to get so enthralled in the game and social experience that you lose track of time and the number of drinks you have consumed. One drink turns into two, then three, then suddenly you are unable to remember how much you had to drink and when.
