What to Expect After a DWI Arrest

Following an arrest for driving while impaired, individuals can expect to go through several key steps in the legal process:

  • Initial Appearance: A judge informs you of the charges and may set conditions for release.
  • Administrative License Hearing: Your license may be suspended immediately unless you contest the suspension.
  • Pre-Trial Motions and Hearings: Legal strategies may begin here, including motions to suppress evidence or challenge the traffic stop.
  • Trial or Plea Bargain: Depending on the evidence, your attorney may recommend going to trial or negotiating a plea.

Having legal representation from a lawyer familiar with local courts in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and surrounding cities can make a significant difference.

They understand how area courts typically sentence first-time offenders versus repeat offenders. They also have working relationships with prosecutors and knowledge of diversion programs that may be available. In some cases, a lawyer may be able to negotiate reduced penalties or argue for alternative sentencing such as treatment or education programs.
