They may also preside in certain other cities and towns specifically authorized by the General Assembly. Unlike the superior court, the district court districts are not grouped into larger judicial divisions.

There are two sides to every story

There are two sides to every story, and this is especially true in assaults. If you are charged with assaulting someone, you should talk to an attorney before making any statements to police. Once we know the exact charges, the potential consequences, and the nature of the evidence, we can challenge the allegations or try to limit the penalties. http://www.cabarruscriminaldefenseattorney.com/Cabarrus-County-Assault-Charges-And-Crimes-of-Violence.asp

Talk to attorney

If this is your first theft offense

A DWI conviction can have high fines

Image
Even if a guilty plea is appropriate, there are approximately 30 different factors that the court will look at in a DWI or DUI case to determine the punishment for the offense. Such factors include, the level of alcohol involved, prior DUI / DWI convictions and whether you had a valid license at the time of arrest. Attorney Baker will look at all these factors, to determine where you stand. In addition, the familiarity she has with the law and the local justice system can make a real difference. A DWI conviction can have fines as high as $4,000. The amount of the fine is somewhat up to the presiding judge's discretion, however; by statute, there are limitations on how much you can be taxed. By understanding what your punishment would be if you simply pleaded guilty, our Cabarrus DWI office can usually negotiate a much more favorable sentence. http://www.cabarruscriminaldefenseattorney.com/Cabarrus-County-DUI-Attorneys.asp
