If you've recently been charged with a DWI, then you might feel as if life as you know it is over. Of course, you should take your DWI seriously. However, you can get through this tough time. Learn a few tips that can help you deal with your first DWI. 1. Hire an Attorney as Soon as Possible One thing that you should not hesitate to do is seek legal representation for your case. The sooner that you can hire an attorney who has experience in handing DWIs, the better. Your lawyer can sit down with you and discuss the details of your case, start working on a defense strategy, and give you advice to help you handle your case.

Tickets are a nuisance for most people, but when they appear out of nowhere for something you didn't do, they are beyond alarming. You can get a ticket, such as a parking or speeding ticket, through no fault of your own because of someone else's involvement. Trying to solve this problem can take a long time, but it is possible no matter the cause. You need good legal representation to help navigate the maze that a strange ticket can generate. Were You Ticketed for Something You Didn't Do? You can wind up with unknown tickets for a number of reasons. One possibility is that your friend or family member took your car, got a ticket, and didn't tell you about it. The next thing you know, you're getting reminders from the DMV and collection agencies about the unpaid ticket. Another possible reason is ID theft. If someone gets your driver's license number and forges a copy with his or her picture and then gets a ticket, guess whose record winds up with the ticket? And a third possible reason is a mistake. Sometimes these can be magnificently bad, as was the case with a Maryland woman who kept receiving tickets for license plates that didn't even exist. It turned out to be a combination of sloppy ticket writing and a computer glitch, but it did eventually get solved. Have You Started Getting Notices? If you're sure that you didn't get the ticket yourself and that you didn't forget, first ensure all of the information is correct. If you find that the license plate and car description don't match up, for example, you can contact the DMV and notify them of the error. That could get the ticket voided. If it turns out that ID theft is involved, North Carolina has a department for license theft , and the DMV can help you mark your record as compromised. You'll also need to call the police and file a report. If the information appears correct, try to think back to who might have had your car then, too. If it turns out the ticket date and time match a time when your sibling had the car, for example, talk to your sibling and try to get it resolved. Whatever the situation, do not delay. Your swift response makes your case look better, while ignoring the ticket makes it look like you're merely trying to avoid paying. Are You Facing Severe Consequences? If the situation has escalated to the point where you're being threatened with arrest or collections, you need a lawyer. You never want to try to handle warrants and faulty collections on your own; chances are you won't be as successful as a lawyer would be. While a police report, for example, often convinces agencies to halt action in less severe cases, it may not be enough in serious situations (e.g., multiple warrants) to clear your record by itself. Plus, the extent of the problem could be larger than you realize. If you can get a lawyer to work with you, you'll find it easier to stall collections and suspend warrants as you try to untangle what happened. Plus, if ID theft is involved, a lawyer can help you search out other possible violations and straighten those out. At the very least, the lawyer can point you in the right direction. The office of Carl L. Britt,Jr., Attorney at Law has lawyers who know traffic laws and know how easily ticket record-keeping can go astray. You would not be the first person to have to deal with a strange ticket. Don't ignore it — fight it, and get your clean record back.
