D/FW Drunk Driving Defense (DWI)

Our office has successfully defended 91% of the DWI cases set for trial by either NOT GUILTY or DISMISSAL since November of 2002, click here to see our results.

If you are charged with DWI, you probably don't fully understand all the consequences that you are facing. Many people are stunned when they find out the types of punishments that they may face if they are convicted. What you do know is that you are in trouble and are in need of legal counsel. We can help you.

Our office has experience in defending citizens accused of DWI in Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton, and Collin County and courts throughout Texas with a successful record. We have obtained results of NOT GUILTY in DWI cases where:

  • Breath test sample was provided.
  • Breath test sample result was twice and three times the legal limit. *(see our office success page for details).
  • Clients have failed the field sobriety tests.
  • Clients have urinated in front of the police.
  • Clients have admitted to drinking on the video tape.
  • Clients who had bad driving facts.
  • Clients who were speeding

***REMEMBER: THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE STATE OF TEXAS, NOT YOU. THEY MUST PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT YOU WERE INTOXICATED WHILE OPERATING YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE.

Here at our office, we take pride in the fact that we are experienced trial lawyers. We take the time, using our experience and creativity, to look at all the facts before we make a decision with you to go to trial or take the State plea offer. We just don't plea you out, we defend the case to the best of our legal abilities.

  • We attempt to keep your drivers license by defending you before the ALR board. *(This is the board created by the Texas Department of Public Safety to suspend the licenses of all persons arrested for DWI)
  • We conduct initial discovery by getting the officers police report and his direct testimony at the ALR hearing.
  • If you are charged with a DWI 2nd or DWI 3rd, we will help you get the required breath lock on your vehicle.
  • We will get your in-car police video and the police station house video so that you can review them prior to making your decision to go to trial or take the States plea offer.
  • We use our combined 18 years of experience in defending DWI to help advise you in your case.

Our goal is to represent you to the best of our abilities, using all our talents to find the best outcome for you. That is because we understand the consequences of a DWI in Texas. If you have any more questions on DWI, please feel free to view our question and answer section. In searching for the right attorney for you, I hope that you will consider our firm and give our offices a call.
