AS FEATURED IN THESE MAJOR PUBLICATIONS:
What You Need to Know
A DWI charge is FOREVER! The consequences to your record and reputation are high. You can’t WIN your case by pleading guilty!
Be careful when researching lawyers! There are some unethical lawyers out there advertising that they win over 90% of their DWI cases. That is baloney! Avoid those lawyers! They are either outright lying, or they are using an extremely loose definition of “winning.” Some lawyers include probation as winning a DWI case. That’s misleading and it’s complete nonsense. That’s LOSING a DWI and ending up on probation! Winning a DWI means you get a not guilty verdict or the case dismissed – Period! Anything else is not “winning” a DWI. Even a plea bargain reducing a DWI down to an “Obstruction of a Highway” charge is not really winning a DWI – it’s getting a very good outcome, but it’s not winning. Winning means your client walks away with no punishment whatsoever, no probation, and nothing on their record.
If I were to define “winning a DWI case” as getting a not guilty verdict, OR getting the case dismissed, OR beating the prosecution’s initial plea bargain offer, OR getting probation, then I would win over 98% of my DWI cases. But that number would be highly misleading, unethical to publish (without some very clear explanation and disclaimers,) and virtually meaningless. A person should be extremely cautious about hiring a lawyer using that type of misleading advertising. If a lawyer would mislead you about that, what else would they be willing to mislead you about?

F.A.Qs
What You Need to Know
No matter how dismal your facts are, there is always a chance that you can win your case.
The most important factors are:
How do you look on the video?
Why were you stopped by the police?
Is there a breath or blood test?
Who actually saw you driving?
Was there an accident?
Ten Rules of Survival in the Criminal Justice Jungle
Rule No. 1:
Never under any circumstance consent to a search. NEVER. Do not consent to a search of your car. Do not consent to a search of your home. Do not consent to a search of your friend’s apartment. Do not consent to a search of your person. Do not consent even if the police tell you they have a warrant. Do not consent. EVER.
The Differences and Similarities Between Regular Probation and Deferred Adjudication
Generally speaking, there are two types of probation, regular and deferred adjudication (sometimes simply called “deferred”). Although probations are very similar there are some important differences. The main difference is that the conviction and sentencing are deferred (postponed), in a deferred adjudication probation.
Why You Should Consider not Requesting Probation on Your DWI
You may be much better off choosing to serve a short jail sentence instead of getting probation. Many people believe that probation is a more lenient sentence, but probation is actually a long, expensive, and annoying process.
Been arrested for DWI?
Many people can win their DWI cases in Texas. You might think that your case is hopeless, but my experience over the past 30 years as a DWI defense attorney tells me otherwise.
The first step after a DWI arrest is to believe that you can win your case. No matter how bad you think your situation is, I’ve probably seen clients with far worse circumstances who successfully fought their DWI charges.
Non-Disclosure for
First-Time DWI Offenses
A DWI on your record can be a nightmare when you’re looking for a job, renting an apartment, or any other time background check is required. I’ve often told my clients that a DWI is FOREVER because the consequences can continue to impact your life years or even decades later.
DWI Defense Advice for the State of Texas
Just Say No…
Situations may vary, but in most cases, the simplest, most effective DWI defense is for the suspect to POLITELY refuse to participate in ANY testing or questioning. Just say no!
There only four things that you must do in a DWI investigation: 1) Pull your vehicle over, 2) exit your vehicle upon request, 3) provide proper identification, and 4) allow them to take our blood if they obtain a warrant. You may refuse any other request by the police, but if you do so, do some politely.
