Practice areas

Being charged with a crime in North Carolina can be a very stressful experience, especially if it involves the complex web of North Carolina's DWI laws. As the Managing Partner of Minick Law, P.C.'s Wilmington office, I strive to provide detailed and comprehensive legal representation to my clients with a focus in DWI offenses. I have also successfully completed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s course on DUI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, a 24 hour course taught to officers trained in DWI investigations.

If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime in New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, or Onslow counties, please don't hesitate to contact my office by phone or through our website for a free consultation on your case.

Educational Background

I am a graduate of the Charlotte School of Law who graduated in May 2015 with a Juris Doctor - Magna Cum Laude. During my time in law school, I was a member of the Presidential Honors Society, Order of the Crown Honor Society, and an Associate Editor of the Charlotte School of Law Property Law Journal.

Additionally, I graduated in May 2012 from Appalachian State University with a degree in Business Management with a Concentration in Entrepreneurship - Magna Cum Laude. While attending Appalachian State University, I maintained a 3.65 cumulative GPA and was a frequent member of the Chancellor's and Dean's List. I was actively engaged on campus as a member and executive board member of the Honorary Eagle Scout Fraternity Epsilon Tau Pi, a tutor with Outward Bound, and a member of Catholic Campus Ministries.

Personal Background

I currently live in Wilmington, NC, with my wife Margaret. I enjoy outdoor activities, watching basketball and football, and exploring the many local sights and businesses Wilmington has to offer.

Wonderful attorney
Working with Gint Krulikas on my DWI case in Wilmington, NC (New Hanover Country) was a pleasure. Gint was very responsive to inquiries about case status, and responsiveness is very important to me. Gint was totally upfront about best- and worst-case scenarios, and of course I was thrilled when I received the best-case scenario, especially considering my BAC result was high (above .2). I highly recommend Gint as an attorney. Responsiveness, honesty, and best-case result worked for me!

Worth Every Penny
Gint is such a kind and understanding lawyer. He actually listened to everything I had to say and reassured me that he would do his best. He was able to add my file on early and was able to get my ticket dismissed before my court date. He was always available to speak with me and didn't treat me like just another case. Just hire him. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent.
Gintaras represented me in traffic court and was able to get the best ruling possible. Minimal fees, and no impact to my insurance. Exactly what you hope for when you hire someone to represent you in court. Highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
After being charged with a DUI, I was beside myself on how to handle it. I knew I would have to seek legal help, which also was something I had no experience in. After hours of research on every attorney in the area, I started making phone calls for consultations. After several calls, I spoke to Gint and immediately felt like he had genuine interest in my case and his confidence put me at ease for the first time since I was charged. I didn’t bother calling another lawyer, I retained his services and couldn’t be more satisfied. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process stress free. He was very communicative, ensuring I was kept in the loop every step of the way, and prepared me all possible outcomes. As I expected, Gint delivered and was able to get my case dismissed! I would absolutely recommend Gint to anyone seeking a highly skilled, professional, legal expert. You will not be disappointed!

Best Attorney I have ever hired!
I have had to hire a few attorneys in the past ten years to help with my son who seems to attract trouble. Gint Krulikas is the best! First of all, Gint communicates with you the whole time. Phone calls and emails- he stays in touch and I can get ahold of him. He has a system a if you follow it- he will get your problem solved. Gint has a great reputation so when your dealing with people- they say Gint is the Best, it gives you confidence that your case is going to turn out ok.

Down to earth, reasonable prices.
I had some charges from a deferred prosecution 12 years ago which I thought were gone due to completing the program prescribed by the courts back then. I consulted a few attorneys about the issue. Gint was the only one who didn't make it into a big convoluted thing i.e. didn't shower me with legal mumbo jumbo and act like it would be like moving mountains to get done. He also charged more than 2x less than the other attorneys. I was kind of worried at first because it seemed too good to be true; but after he took my one-time payment, Gint was always easy to get hold of via phone to answer questions and keep me updated on the process. In terms of the expunction, everything was done correctly

Highly Recommend.
Gint was able to talk to the DA or assistant DA before my court date for possession and and possession of paraphernalia and gave me the opportunity to do community service and my charges have been expunged with no court date or anything.

Speeding Ticket
Gint was amazing regarding a speeding ticket. Though it was my first in 17 years, and wouldn't seem significant to some people, he took my concern seriously. He was professional, responsive, clear and efficient. HIGHLY recommend.

Awesome Attorney, very professional, very knowledgeable
Gint did an amazing job. He took a case on very short notice and got a great outcome. The case was dismissed. Because of Gint and Minick Law, my client is one step closer to getting his license reinstated. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing legal counsel.
