What is an alcohol assessment?
An alcohol assessment is an hour-long evaluation provided by a private agency approved by the state of North Carolina. The DWI/DUI school will ask you questions about how much you drink, how frequently you drink,and other behavioral issues.
The agency will make a recommendation to you about further treatment, if any, you should undergo. In most cases, the agency will at least recommend a 20 hour class. In some cases, the agency will recommend a 40 hour class or even more treatment.
In order to restore your limited driving privileges during the thirty day initial suspension, you must provide an alcohol assessment to the court. You will also provide a DL123 form from your insurance agency.
Our office can provide instant DL123 forms. This form shows the court that you have liability insurance as required by the state.
The sooner you get your alcohol assessment, the sooner you can petition for limited driving privileges.
What is the cost of the alcohol assessment?
An alcohol assessment will cost $100. Cost for the recommended treatment varies by provider.

I would, and have, recommended Brown-Phillips Insurance to many of my friends and co-workers." by A.W (Durham, NC)
"I needed DUI Insurance fast and was very worried about how high my payments would be.
I called Brown-Phillips Insurance and got a new policy within 5 minutes and at almost the same price I was paying for my old policy without the DUI Insurance NC.
This really took a lot of pressure off of me.I would recommend Brown-Phillips Insurance to anyone who is looking for DWI Insurance fast." Mary P. (Greensboro,N.C.)
"I received a DWI conviction in July 2011 but, it just recently was going to increase my insurance rates. I am VERY aware that my insurance would increase BUT, I was not expecting a 600% per year increase!!
I found Brown-Phillips Insurance online and was quickly provided a rate that I can live with! Yes, my insurance did increase from my pre-DWI days, but Brown-Phillips Insurance provided me with great customer service and a yearly rate that did not make me want to scream anymore than I already have with the money this DWI has cost me!!!
