Individuals charged with DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) have a particularly difficult time dealing with their criminal charge; often because it is the first time they have been arrested. DWI arrests can result in serious consequences. A person who is convicted of a DWI can face heavy fines and court costs, driver's license surcharges, a loss of driving privileges, and may be sentenced to serve jail time.

Given that so much is at stake in a DWI case, it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who has handled many DWI cases. An attorney who is up to date on the law and that can properly guide you through the legal maze of the Texas Criminal Justice System and Department of Public Safety.
