The volume of DWI/DUI charges in Statesville has increased drastically in recent years due in large part to increased efforts to train law enforcement officers to identify and investigate impaired drivers. Arrests for DWI / DUI in Iredell County (including the City of Statesville) have totaled over 950 in 2011, over 850 in 2012, and nearly 700 in 2013. The number of DWI / DUI arrests in Statesville for 2014 are expected to exceed 2013 totals.

“I have dealt with other lawyers in the past and found that the majority of them are very polite at first but after you contract them they become very hard to get a hold of and in some instances downright rude. James Minick, however, was very courteous throughout the entire process of my court case, and I was able to easily get a hold of him to discuss any of my questions or concerns regarding my case.” – Evan Baird – See More Testimonials
