Why Hire A Charlotte DWI DUI Lawyer

THE QUESTION

How soon do I need to get an attroney after being charged with a Charlotte DWI?

THE ANSWER

There are two main reasons that it is in your best interest to contact a DWI DUI attorney in Charlotte as soon as you can.  The first is evidentiary the second is a matter of expediency in securing your driving privilege as soon as possible.

Just as the police gathered evidence against you at the time that you were pulled over, an attorney who understands the system can gather evidence that has the potential to exonerate you at trial.  Often there is video taken by the arresting officer available that may help to establish your innocence or demonstrate a key technical flaw in the State’s case against you.  That video is sometimes only retained in police storage for a few days to a week.  In some cases a Court Order is required to prevent the destruction of this valuable evidence.

By delaying making an appointment with an attorney you risk potentially exculpatory evidence being destroyed in the course of business of the law enforcement agency that took the video.  By retaining one of our DWI DUI attorneys you can ensure that everything possible is being done to secure all of the evidence in your favor.

The second reason to call an attorney at your earliest opportunity is that most people who have had their license taken away the evening that they were cited with a Charlotte DWI DUI are eligible for a limited driving privilege within just ten days of the citation.  In order to secure the privilege there is a mandatory drug and alcohol assessment that must be completed in addition to paperwork that must be requested from your insurance company.

Completing the DWI DUI limited privilege also requires an appearance in front of a District Court Judge.  In order to complete all of the steps necessary within the ten days it is advisable that you begin the process by speaking with a DWI DUI attorney at Rosensteel Fleishman as soon as you can after receiving the citation.
