Put A Former Prosecutor On Your Side

Do You Think It’s Not Worth Fighting Your DWI Charge? Think Again.

If you think it isn’t worth defending yourself against a drunk-driving charge, you may want to reconsider. A conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) can affect your life for many years to come.

Whether this is your first driving while intoxicated offense or you have multiple drunk-driving convictions on your record, you face serious criminal penalties if convicted. A DWI can also result in difficulty finding employment, higher auto insurance rates, driver surcharges and a suspended driver’s license.

In Texas, a DWI is not eligible for expunction and will remain on your criminal record forever. The only ways to prevent having a DWI on your record are to have the charges reduced or dismissed by the prosecutor and to be acquitted at trial.
