DWI & DUI
Experienced DWI/DUI Attorney in Texas
Harris County ¥ Montgomery County
Many people who get in trouble for drunk driving do not realize that their ability to drive is impaired. They go out with friends and have a few drinks, and as they are driving home may catch the attention of a police officer for speeding or rolling through a red light. Once the officer pulls them over, he or she realizes the driver has been drinking, and charges them with driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI).
If you are facing charges for a DWI or DUI, working with an experienced attorney can help protect your rights and minimize the consequences of your actions.
Consequences of a DWI
The consequences of driving while intoxicated (DWI) vary depending on other convictions you have had, and consequences get stricter with each conviction. Consequences can include:
* Jail time of up to six months for a first offense
* Prison sentence of up to one year for a second offense
* Two to ten years in prison for subsequent offenses
* Potential suspension of drivers' license
Impact of a DWI on Your Drivers' License
If you are convicted of a DWI, your license can be suspended for six months to two years. In addition, if you fail or refuse the breath test, your license can be automatically suspended. From the date of the breath test, you have 15 days to challenge the suspension, which is done through an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. An experienced lawyer can request and attend that hearing, and he can pursue all options to avoid or limit your drivers' license suspension.
- Garrison Law Firm:
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) are serious charges. Taking immediate action to protect yourself can affect your life for years to come. Even if this is your first brush with the criminal justice system, prosecutors will not go easy on you simply because you choose to plead guilty. No matter what police or prosecutors tell you, it is in your best interests to remain silent until you have spoken to a criminal defense attorney. The District Attorney represents the state, not you.
The penalties for DUI/DWI are severe. A conviction for your first offense can lead to at least 180 days in jail and a hefty fine. In addition to the criminal penalties, DWI situations also have civil proceedings regarding license suspension or license revocation. Most Americans depend on their driver's licenses.
