One of the most common reasons that people confess to possession of drugs or guns after they are found in a search is because they figure they have already lost their case.

For many people, they assume the worst when charged with DWI. While there is not one answer that applies to every case, most of our clients are not facing jail time and many are able to continue to drive legally after we finish their case. Before you worry unnecessarily, talk to a lawyer about your facts.

Driving While Impaired cases cause stress and confusion for our clients, especially in the first few days. At the beginning of a case, our DWI lawyers address problems that come up when clients lose their driver’s license for 30 days. Our Greensboro DWI attorneys may need to file an appeal for an invalid revocation, ask the court for special permission for the client to drive or simply guide our client through the 30 days and help them get their license back at the end.

When a person is arrested in North Carolina, they are brought before a magistrate at the jail, who will set the conditions of pretrial release. The magistrate will then go over a set of factors to determine if the individual is a flight risk or a danger to the community.

MYTH: It’s best to refuse to blow into the breath-test machine/breathalyzer at the jail.

You might be thinking I’m being dramatic or just trying to make a point. After all, how can a simple speeding ticket be worse than being charged with possessing illegal drugs? Well, the truth is that if you get pulled over and given a Greensboro traffic ticket for speeding 26 miles per hour over the posted limit or driving faster than 89 miles per hour, you are facing more serious consequences and a more expensive case than someone charged with possessing a small amount of marijuana.
