Why should you hire me?
"Every Texas criminal defense lawyer I know handles some DWI cases, but few have invested the time I have in training and education in Texas DWI laws. Texas drunk driving statutes and case law are among the most complex in the nation, and I've devoted myself to mastering DWI law along with the scientific and mathematical knowledge needed for an aggressive Texas drunk driving defense.
A Texas DUI charge is like no other crime in America. Besides the legal penalties, DWI offenders face embarrassment, shame, and loss of driving privileges and professional licenses. As if that weren't enough, you risk losing your job, having to install an ignition interlock devices on your car, and you may even have to wear an ankle bracelet to monitor your movements and alcohol consumption. No other crime provides this many opportunities for the government to restrict a person's freedom. DWI and intoxication crimes are the only cases in Texas where a "first offender" has no option to keep a clean criminal record without a trial and acquittal, and now requires a person to serve 72 hours continuously in jail as a condition of probation.
Because the consequences of a Texas DWI conviction are so severe, we'll defend you aggressively. We will thoroughly investigate your case for defects in the formal filing of criminal charges, police officer mistakes and background checks, and the key evidence against you, including breath and blood tests. A complete investigation of your case will identify winning strategies to obtain either a non-DWI reduced charge or an acquittal."
