About
You are charged with DWI and are probably concerned about the potential consequences.At our first meeting, which costs you nothing, we'll go over what happened in detail. I'll explain what will happen if you are found guilty, the worst case scenario. This should ease your mind. A lot of your concerns come from not knowing what can and will happen. After we meet there won't be any potential punishment or consequences that you don't know about and that we've not prepared for.If you'll give me a couple of minutes, I'd like to tell you how I approach a DWI case. Simply put, I begin every case convinced that the state can't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. It's unfortunate that most lawyers begin their analysis with the premise that you are guilty. Not surprisingly, most of their clients plead guilty or are found guilty. Of course, some cases can't be won, and in some there will be a substantial penalty for pleading not guilty. We’ll consider that, and make an informed decision as to how to proceed with that in mind. If you do plead guilty, the District Attorney will usually dismiss all of the other related charges. This can be a great deal in cases where the related charges are serious or can lead to substantial penalties or a criminal record.“But Marcus, won't the judge punish me more harshly if we plead not guilty but are found guilty?" Generally if I'm your attorney the judge will not punish you more harshly after a trial, but I'll make sure that's the case before we plan our strategy. We’ll be ready for anything. You see, I look at a trial as a chance to win, but to win I need the judge to be paying attention. So we'll have some fun in court. Tell a joke; laugh at ourselves…because part of my job is to make sure we are the good guys. Your trial can't be a boring halfway attempt to get a break. I never try a case on the theory that a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while. I stipulate to what we must admit and only argue my good issues so we don't waste time. By knowing our plan, I am able to be more efficient and effective. The judges and district a attorneys know that I don't waste time--theirs, yours, or mine. Thus everyone must be alert because things happen fast. I am always well prepared; I have the cases, the manuals, and experts when necessary, whatever I need to support our position.In addition, you and I will discuss the rules for testifying and for being in the courthouse: how to behave, how to dress, and what will work in your case. You will know the sort of questions that you will be asked and how to convince everyone in the court room you are telling the truth. Of course, you will be telling the truth, but it’s important that you know how to present yourself so you will be believed. We'll practice your testimony, practice your body language, and go over all of the details of your courtroom presentation. You see, chance favors the prepared mind. We'll be all prepared at every step, so that we miss no opportunity. I prepare very carefully for court and so will you."Ok Marcus, that sounds great, but what will happen to me if this goes badly and I'm convicted?" To answer that I'll need to go over your specific case. Then I'll be able to tell you exactly the range of punishments you will be exposed to, and the likely outcomes. You can look at my website for further information if you would like before we meet. You can find it at www.marcusehill.com.Finally, let me tell you that I win DWI’s. I carefully prepare every part of your case to give you the best chance of a great outcome. Believe it or not, in the United States you are still innocent until proven guilty, and I focus on fighting for you and getting verdicts of not guilty. If this describes the lawyer you have been looking for, then call me right away to set up your free consultation. Whatever you decide, you’ll learn many things in our meeting that will help you plan your next step. We will work through this problem so that it will not mess up your presentor future.

I cannot speak highly enough of the results that Marcus Hill is able to obtain on behalf of his clients. He has helped me with 3 tickets within Durham County and has never failed to impress with the results he obtains. If you are looking for a lawyer in Durham - go immediately to Mr. Hill. Thank you.
Marcus Hill helped me through 3 traffic situations that could have easily made my life incredibly stressful. However, he worked wonders on my case and won an outcome for me that I had never dreamed possible! He is hands-down the sharpest attorney out there--he knows the law like he wrote it himself! There's no one else I would trust with my case, and I felt like I could breathe knowing he was handling my situation. I absolutely, and with no hesitation, recommend Marcus Hill!
I received a traffic ticket in Wilmington, NC and reached out to Marcus to ask for a referral to an attorney in New Hanover County. He told me he was networked with an attorney in that area and could handle the case for me. He interviewed me on the phone to gather details then his team provided me with documents to sign and then I just waited. I received a letter letting me know the case was complete and I had received a small fine with no points. I was thrilled with the outcome. I'd highly, highly recommend Marcus.
Marcus is an excellent attorney and he was able to get my DWI case dismissed. He and his staff were very responsive to calls and very clear with any guidance/explanations I needed throughout the process. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area.
Communication was great whether done by email or phone. He explains the process in depth and so you can understand it. When he says he will do whatever he can to help, he truly means that. His knowledge for dwi's is bar none. You're making a mistake if you don't hire this attorney!
I’m so thankful to have had Marcus defending me during a difficult time in my life. He was always just an email or phone call away to answer any questions I had. He is the definition of an excellent lawyer. He applied all of his knowledge and experience in his fight for my case, and did so elegantly. And his way of interacting with me never failed to boost my confidence. Being a good person makes him one of the best.
Marcus helped me get a case dismissed and was very intelligent and professional. I highly recommend him, and I would definitely hire him as an attorney again. Thank you Marcus!
Marcus Hill and his staff are skilled and professional. My case could have gone so much differently, but thanks to Marcus the results were optimal. I’m extremely grateful to have made it through a traumatic season of my life with his help.
I contacted Marcus consulted with him and hired him. He was very professional with a great sense of humor at a tough time in my life. During the process he was there anytime I needed to talk with him. Marcus is the man for the job. He gave me alot of Hope and it turned out exactly as he said. Thanks alot. Awesome!!!!!
I was facing some serious charges stemming from a DUI in which I was involved in a minor accident. Unfortunately, it wasn't my first, so I needed solid representation. Marcus (he doesn't like to be called Mr. Hill...lol) came through in every possible way. I was facing possible jail time and he helped me avoid that so that I could maintain my employment and work my way through this. Follow his suggestions and advice and I assure you that you'll get the best possible outcome from your case. He could see that I was visibly upset and concerned about the potential consequences that I was facing, and he made it a point to reassure me that things would be alright, and he was correct. After my case, he made sure to let me know that he was available should I need anything else, and not just as a hired attorney. He was genuine and sincere, while being honest and forthright in our every interaction. Hopefully it won't be necessary, but I would absolutely obtain his services again and would recommend him highly. Thank you Marcus!!
