33. Preparing for a DWI Sentencing Hearing (3 of 3) - a podcast by James "Jake" Minick

We complete our three-part series on DWI sentencing in NC. In this episode Jake Minick talks about the importance of getting your client prepared for a potential sentence from a DWI conviction at the earliest possible opportunity, the consultation. The NC DWI Guy goes on to lay out some of the best practices for representing a client charged with a DWI during the sentencing hearing itself.  

 

Highlights:

• Discover why it is important to discuss in detail with any potential client the DWI sentence level and specific criminal consequences that he/she is facing during the initial consultation
• Uncover who your primary audience is during a sentencing hearing on a DWI conviction (Hint: it is not the judge)
• Learn the value of approaching a judge prior to a sentencing hearing to discuss the potential sentence and any other complicated matters that might come up during sentencing
• Hear the specific items that you need to address during your argument at a DWI sentencing hearing
