Fort Worth DWI Lawyers

  • Robin McCarty: DWI...... HAVE YOU BEEN ARRESTED FOR THE OFFENSE OF DRIVING  WHILE INTOXICATED? YOU NEED EXPERIENCED, AGGRESSIVE REPRESENTATION!
  • Jim Lollar: A traffic ticket received in Fort Worth can have serious consequences. While most traffic tickets are just "violations" under Texas law, many people don't understand that some traffic ticket violations are actually criminal charges such as driving a vehicle while your license was suspended. A suspension can happen when you have several minor tickets or just one very serious ticket. Many motorists have their license suspended simply because they failed to respond to the traffic ticket court date and don't know what to do when it becomes a problem years later.
  • Colby Wooten: Most DUI convictions carry a penalty of a jail sentence. It may be a comfort to know, however, that each county offers different options where punishment is concerned.
  • Mimi Coffey: The Intoxilyzer 5000 assumes that everyone has the same blood breath partition ratio, hematocrit ratio and assumes that all samples are at an air temperature of 93.2 F. Texas does not utilize any methods which would allow for a retest of samples given. The computer software is proprietary and is not available to scientific peer review. There are many things which have been shown to affect a breath test score. These machines are generally not available for inspections by anyone outside of law enforcement. Texas does not allow for non-law enforcement or government personnel to become certified as breath test technical operators. Much of the Texas breath program remains limited to outsiders despite a generally assumed belief that these machines have undergone and passed wide general scientific review.
  • Larry Dassow: The accused's first appearance after the indictment is called an arraignment. The first appearance in a misdemeanor case may also be called the arraignment. Unless formal arraignment is waived, the judge will verify the identity of the accused and ask for his plea. The judge may also appoint counsel at this time.
  • Carol Kerr: If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, the importance of having legal representation cannot be overstated. While over zealous prosecutors are working hard to build their case against you, you deserve to have an experienced and aggressive attorney working just as hard to preserve and protect your constitutional rights.
  • Leticia Vigil: DWI/DUI means "driving while intoxicated" or "driving while under the influence" and refers to the crime of drunk driving. This crime usually includes driving while abusing drugs and the operation of other kinds of motorized vehicles, such as boats. Drunk driving is defined by each state's criminal code.
  • Bates Law Firm: Legal problems usually involve financial and emotional issues that can be a stressful, frustrating, and intimidating experience for non-lawyers. You need an experienced and skillful attorney to represent you throughout that process and to truly care about you and your particular legal problem.
  • Canas & Flores: If you are convicted of drunk driving, you face fines and potential jail time. If your driving privileges are revoked or suspended, your ability to earn a living may be compromised. In order to obtain the best possible result, hire an attorney who knows how to handle DUI cases through experience and a successful track record.
  • Greg Westfall: Getting a DWI is serious! You need to take it seriously. So should your lawyer. Even a conviction for a first-time DWI can carry serious consequences, not the least of which is $1,000 or more per year for three years just to keep your driver's license. If you are like the vast majority of those who get arrested for DWI, this is the ONLY way that you would ever have come into contact with the criminal justice system. Only because DWI laws exist do many people who would never dream of breaking the law find themselves arrested, photographed, fingerprinted, and generally 'treated like criminals.' This IS serious business. And once you have posted your bond, the whole process is really just beginning.
  • Leigh Davis: A first DWI is a class B misdemeanor. The range of punishment is 3-180 days in the County Jail and fine of up to $2,000. A second DWI is a class A misdemeanor. The range of punishment is 3-365 days in the County Jail and fine of up to $4,000. The minimum punishment for a first or second DWI involving an open container of alcohol is six (6) days in the County Jail.
  • Gary Medlin: In most states, it's illegal to drive a car while "impaired" by the effects of alcohol or drugs (including prescription drugs). This means that there must be enough alcohol or drugs in the driver's body to prevent him from thinking clearly or driving safely. Many people reach this level well before they'd be considered "drunk" or "stoned."
  • Mac Matson: Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.
  • Evans, Gandy, Daniel & Moore: In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney with the skills and practical knowledge in these types of cases is best equipped to handle cross-examination and increase the odds of successfully defending the charges against you.
  • Samantha Hill: DWI cases are unique in the criminal justice system and require skilled, experienced and knowledgeable counsel. A charge of DWI can have serious ramifications on a defendant's driver's license, criminal record and ability to function in society. The right attorney can make a difference.
