Arrested For D.W.I.? It Is Not Going Away On Its Own.

It is imperative that you immediately hire our D.W.I. defense team. You only have Fifteen (15) days from the date of your arrest to request an ALR hearing, or your license will be suspended and you could then expose yourself to another arrest!

Driving While Intoxicated is a serious allegation in Texas. Citizens who are convicted of D.W.I. are severely punished. A citizen accused of a sexual offense or homicide can be placed on deferred adjudication, and after a period of time the case can be dismissed (much like a traffic ticket). In 1994, the Texas legislature statutorily prohibited deferred adjudication in D.W.I. cases. D.W.I. convictions force Defendants to pay the State of Texas a tremendous amount of money. Our D.W.I. defense team has helped many people in your situation avoid those consequences.

State of Texas vs. C.A.

Charges: Felony D.W.I. 3RD OR MORE IN COLLIN COUNTY

Client was under investigation for D.W.I. 3rd or more in Collin County, Texas and hired our firm right after his arrest. We quickly conducted our own investigation and provided it to the Collin County District Attorney’s office prior to the Grand Jury meeting. The case was refused, and all charges dropped.

Result: CASE DROPPED.

State of Texas vs. J.H.

Charge: D.W.I.

At trial, the jury watched the roadside video showing J.C. falling down getting out of the car at nearly 2 a.m. J.C. could not walk a straight line during the Walk and Turn test, could not stand on one leg without stumbling and was clearly having a difficult time stating exactly where he had been that night.

Result: JURY RETURNED A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.

State of Texas vs. C.W.

Charge: D.W.I.

At trial, the jury learned during the State’s case that C.W. had a blood alcohol concentration level well over the legal limit when he took the breath test. After cross-examination by our attorney of the State’s expert witness, they understood the difference between the time of driving and the time of the BAC specimen.

Result: JURY RETURNED A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.

A D.W.I. conviction can also have severe immigration/deportation consequences, restrictions on crossing state lines, disqualification from driving a commercial motor vehicle, and forfeiture of your vehicle.

The good news is that you have found the right defense team to protect you.
