The hours after an arrest in Erwin set the terms for the magistrate's release conditions, the 96-hour first appearance, and whatever gets attached to your record in the meantime. If you or a family member was arrested near Erwin, Dunn, or anywhere in Harnett County, contact William J. Vasquez's office before that first appearance at the Harnett County Courthouse. Criminal defense does not qualify for contingency-fee arrangements under North Carolina's ethics rules, so ask directly about consultation availability and fee structure for your specific charge.
