The short version
If you were arrested, charged with DWI, or got a ticket in High Point, your case is in the Guilford County court system. The right next step depends on which kind of case it is.
A criminal charge in High Point moves fast at the start. If someone is held in custody, a district court judge must see the case within 72 hours or at the next regular district court session, whichever comes first (G.S. 15A-601(c)). In domestic cases a judge must set release conditions, and if no judge acts within 48 hours of arrest the magistrate does (G.S. 15A-534.1(a)).
We can often get a domestic case in front of a District Court judge early and get the person released before the 48 hours are up.
We defend drug charges, assault and domestic violence, theft, felonies of every class, misdemeanors and probation violations. Read more on our High Point criminal defense page.
DWI Defense in High Point
A DWI charge carries two tracks at once: the criminal case in court, and the separate license revocation. What you do in the first days, including the substance abuse assessment, affects both.
Missed your court date? We can recall it, go to court for you and handle the case. A lawyer can put the case back on the calendar before day 20. See how to recall an order for arrest.

We can’t thank Jason Aycoth and Samantha Hepler enough for the help with our daughter’s case.
From our first call with Jason Aycoth, they were professional, honest, and clear about what to expect.
They answered our questions promptly, explained every step in plain language, and were well prepared at every stage.
It was a stressful time for our family, and both Jason Aycoth and Samantha Hepler were calm, compassionate, and reassuring throughout.
We’re grateful the case was dismissed and highly recommend Garrett, Walker, Aycoth & Olson Law Firm to anyone who needs help.
Morgan Faries was professional, helpful, and supportive throughout my case. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable during a difficult time. I truly appreciate all her help and highly recommend Morgan Faries.
Five stars isn't enough. Patrick Bidwell is exceptional! He answered every question and concerns I had, and Patrick had told me he was going to try and get me out of court quickly and not even 15 minutes later, the case was dismissed and I was out. I truly enjoyed having him represent me and working with him. I can't recommend Attorney Patrick Bidwell enough!
I can't recommend Stephanie Goldsbourgh highly enough. From the very beginning, she treated me with respect, honesty, and professionalism during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I was facing very serious criminal charges, and the uncertainty was overwhelming. Stephanie never made promises she couldn't keep, but she always kept me informed, answered my questions with patience, and helped me understand every step of the legal process.
What stood out most was her calm, focused approach. While I was dealing with the emotional weight of my case, she remained grounded in the facts and worked diligently on my behalf. I always felt like she genuinely cared about my future and never treated me like just another client.
Thanks to her hard work and dedication, my case was ultimately dismissed. I will always be grateful for the guidance, professionalism, and integrity she showed throughout the entire process.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, honest, compassionate, and committed to her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie. Thank you for everything you did for me.
Morgan A. Faries is everything you could ask for in an attorney. From day one, she made us feel like we weren’t just another case. She genuinely cared about what our family was going through and always took the time to listen, understand our situation, and answer every question we had.
Morgan is incredibly intelligent, knowledgeable, and knows exactly what she’s doing. At the same time, she’s compassionate, approachable, and easy to talk to. During one of the most stressful times for our family, she made us feel supported every step of the way. We always felt like she had our back and wasn’t afraid to fight for us.
She kept us informed throughout the entire process, explained everything clearly, and made sure we knew what to expect. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to Morgan’s hard work and dedication, we achieved the best possible outcome for our family, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for us.
Thank you, Morgan, for standing by our side when we needed it most. You truly made a difference in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Morgan A. Faries to anyone looking for an attorney who will genuinely care, listen, and fight tirelessly on your behalf.
We have used Garrett, Walker, Aycoth & Olson twice for 2 different civil litigation cases. The attorney who represented my sister-in-law, Ryan Denver, handled both cases with professionalism and respect. We were constantly updated in the process. Mr. Denver was very compassionate and caring as he negotiated a very acceptable settlement and even secured a dismissal in one of the cases. I would recommend this lawfirm without hesitation.
Morgan Faries is absolutely an amazing woman, and lawyer. The respect, and the time to actually listen and hear you is astonishing. She made me feel so comfortable, and heard every word of mine even though I naturally have a very soft voice. That doesn't happen very often. The silent confidence she had was admirable. She took into account what was best for me and did everything she could to have the case ruled in my favor, even if it was agreeing to a settlement that still had the avenue I needed. This avoided the mental load that was definitely going to come of the trial. She actually cared about the person I was and the situation I was going through. Her only interest was hearing me, and actually understanding. Morgan Faries is extremely intelligent especially how she holds herself. I am very grateful I had her by my side to work through the legal system. I could not have done this without her. I do not write reviews often but this law firm and attorney Morgan Faries deserves an honest review of my experience and it was everything I had hoped when I secured them for help. Thank you again, Morgan Faries and Garrett, Walker, Aycoth and Olsen, Attorneys at Law.
If you find yourself in need of an attorney I would highly recommend Hilary Hux! She and her entire team (Casey Robinson, Kristen Reese) were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were always very attentive to my needs and always responded to any question or concern I had in a timely manner. The sincerity they displayed while handling my divorce case made a difficult time in my life more bearable knowing I had them on my side. Simply put they are a genuine group of people that do the absolute best job they can for their clients and words can't express how thankful I am to have had the experience to work with them.
Jason Aycoth and his team were so diligent in assisting my family with our legal issues. Communication was never lacking and they were always readily available to assist my family no matter what the need was. Not only was he very professional every time we spoke, he was also friendly and personable. I will be recommending Jason Aycoth to anyone I know is in need of legal services.
Martha Massie is a fantastic lawyer. Her knowledge of the law, her thoroughness and attention to detail are superior. Most importantly, she cares about her clients which can clearly be seen by her hard work. I highly recommend Martha!
Chad Garrett is one amazing lawyer. He is very professional, charismatic, and gets things done no matter what. He has helped me time after time and is always in a pleasant disposition. So thankful to have met him and to have him on my side. Thank you Mr. Garrett.
Casey Robinson worked with my wife and I making a name change for our grandson. Her knowledge and ability made the task easy to complete. We would recommend her services and call on her again if needed.
I had a situation that needed to be resolved expeditiously. I call Jason Aycoth. He resolved the issue quickly. He treated me with the utmost care and respect. Everyone I spoke to in his office was courteous. I have attempted to get this matter resolved through other attorneys in the area. None came close to the experience I had with Jason and his team. I highly recommend you taking the time to hire Jason Aycoth. Jason my family and I are grateful for you! We send you the highest regards.
I was involved in an altercation that would forever change my life. I was referred to Jason Aycoth for help. Help wasn't all I received. Jason discussed my case with the DA. Together after reviewing my case, they took my personal record and military record into consideration. Next, a miracle was presented. Jason and the DA gave me a path to resolving my case and a path to clear my record. I've never had to use an attorney in this capacity but, rest assured, Jason Aycoth and his team earned a 5 star rating from me. I fully endorse and recommend him to any potential clients.
Excellent staff! Very knowledgeable in family and personal injury. Would highly recommend to anyone!
