consequences. An experienced drug offense lawyer can help protect your future.

you need an experienced professional who will protect your interests.

DWI and DUI Charges

MISDEMEANOR DWI

In first offenses and various other situations, an intoxicated driving arrest may result in only a
misdemeanor charge. An expert DWI lawyer can help you work to avoid conviction and prevent possible
future felonies.
LEARN MORE
FELONY DWI

A felony charge is a serious mark on your driving record. Having a lawyer who specializes in DWI
cases may significantly increase your chance of reduction to a misdemeanor charge or a
dismissal.
LEARN MORE
DWI WITH CHILD

A charge for DWI with a child passenger can result in felony state jail time and carry steep fines,
as well as license suspension or revocation, but having a skilled DWI lawyer working on your behalf
may help reduce your charges.
LEARN MORE
ADMINISTRATIVE LICENSE REVOCATION (ALR) HEARINGS

When you’re arrested for alleged intoxicated driving, there’s a deadline to apply for a revocation
hearing to fight suspension, so it’s important to speak with an experienced DWI attorney
quickly.
LEARN MORE
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES

If you miss the deadline to file for an ALR hearing or your suspension is upheld, a DWI lawyer may
be able to help you get an occupational license, allowing you to drive to and from work until your
regular license is reinstated.
LEARN MORE
DWI NON-DISCLOSURES

The state of Texas now lets some low-level, first-time DWI offenders serve deferred probation
sentences or have their records sealed. A DWI can seriously impact your record, so a lawyer’s
expertise is invaluable in protecting your future.
