Criminal Defense Lawyer- Trick or Treat

When a person calls my Charlotte law office and tells me they have been arrested for a DWI, several questions are immediately asked- Did you take a breath or blood test at the Mecklenburg County Jail, did you take a breath test when the officer pulled you over, did you perform field sobriety tests or were you stopped at a police checkpoint? However, I have never had a client tell me that he was dressed up as a DWI when stopped by police.

According to this article, a 19 year old Lincoln, NC man was arrested and cited for DWI and open container over the Halloween weekend. He was also wearing a breathalyzer costume. I can honestly say that a criminal defense lawyer's job is never predictable.
