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.
