Second DWI offense. NEED HELP PLEASE.
Anonymous7 views5 answers
This past October I had feel asleep at the wheel which caused me to blow through the busiest intersection in my town. When asleep I had pushed the gas harder causing me to speed up to 65mph. I awoke after a heard horns, then was t boned by another vehicle.This ended in a serious 6 car wreck. alcohol tests were not administered on site or at the hospital. After I got home I had started drinking then the officer questioned me. I was still in a state of shock at the time and he put that I plead guilty for a DWI. Altogether I am charged with DWI/revoked license, reckless driving, running a red light, and speeding( 65 in a 45). Also I am on supervised probation but this incident didn't occur during my probation. What all am I looking at here?
You are looking at potentially quite a bit of time in jail or even prison, depending upon the injuries to the other folks involved. I am not licensed in North Carolina, so I would defer to the answer of an experienced DUI attorney licensed in North Carolina. For the best answer, you will want to talk to a DUI attorney who practices and appears regularly in the courthouse at issue for your case. Good luck.

You need to contact an attorney immediately. The fact that there was a serious wreck and you have a prior DWI makes this a very serious situation. It sounds like you have some potential defenses to the charge, so contact an attorney to discuss your options.
In a word, a mess. You may have some defenses that might apply in your case, but you'll need an attorney who works with DWI cases regularly. The charges you've got could carry a lot of prison time. I don't know if anyone in the wreck was hurt, but if they were, you could potentially be facing years in prison. I recommend that you find a DWI lawyer who practices in the district where you are charged as soon as possible.
You are in a very serious situation! A second offense DWI, especially with additional aggravating and grossly aggravating factors, can require mandatory jail or prison time! Some possible such factors are DWLR, prior conviction, especially dangerous driving, and accident causing injury. Your story has some curious aspects to it, but overall the impression I get is that you need an attorney immediately. Please consult with a DWI attorney in your area today.
