WE WILL FIGHT YOUR DWI ARREST

After an arrest, many clients express feelings of helplessness.  When you have no idea what you are up against, fear of the unknown is a normal reaction.  Rather than jumping to conclusions, all I can ask is that if you have been arrested for a DWI, come to my office and talk to me as soon as possible.  It will not cost you anything but your time.  There is more to the story than whether you had been drinking and driving (drinking and then driving is legal as long as you are not intoxicated).  The Government has the burden to prove that you were intoxicated at the time you were driving.  The Government also has to prove that they had a legal reason to pull you over.  The Government must prove that you failed the tests that they administered; however, first they must prove that the tests were administered according to the established guidelines.  Together, we will attack the validity of the traffic-stop, we will attack the validity of the road-side testing, we will attack the credibility of the road-side test results, we will attack the validity of the breath/blood test, and we will attack the credibility of the breath/blood test results. 

Take a minute to fully consider just a few of the possible consequences of a first time DWI arrest in the State of Texas: a permanent criminal record, license suspension, greatly increased insurance rates, immobilization of your vehicle unless the vehicle is equipped with an interlock device( this will prevent your vehicle from operating without you first providing a breath sample), loss of your CDL privileges, at least 24 hours of community service, victim impact panels, drug and alcohol classes and testing, jail, alcohol evaluations and counseling, and mandatory attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous. 

Many clients initially tell me that they want to get the case concluded as soon as possible so that they can get it behind them.  The truth is that unless you prevail at trial or unless we can get the case reduced to a different offense, unless you are pardoned (highly unlikely), a final DWI conviction will stay on your record forever!  I cannot guarantee that you will not be convicted of DWI after a trial.  I can guarantee you that you will be convicted of DWI if you simply plead guilty without a fight.  If you do not fight, the District Attorney has no incentive to offer you a better option.  If you do not fight, you have no chance to win.
