What to do if I have a court date on the 23rd for DUI?
I cannot delay the procedings any longer and have been unable to retain an attorney. Are there any other options that I am unaware of to continue this case?

Try this Web site for help finding a DUI lawyer in North Carolina: http://www.dmv.org/nc-north-carolina/dui-attorneys.php. There is no reason that you should be having trouble retaining an attorney unless it is because you are not willing to pay for one. If this is the case, you can try to cut a deal with the prosecutor yourself. Offer to plead guilty to a lesser offense. If this is your first DUI arrest, the prosecutor will probably agree.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
