Lubbock DWI Lawyers
- Skelton, Mark:
Perhaps the most difficult thing to ever face in life is an accusation of criminal wrongdoing. When you are the citizen accused by the State, you need someone to represent your interests and rights, advise you of your rights and options and the consequences that can arise from the choices to be made when facing an accusation.
- Boatwright &
Hamilton:
In Texas, the government must prove that you were operating a motor
vehicle in a public place. Although many times this issue will not be
applicable (for example if you were driving and the officer pulls you
over). However, there are cases that the government will not be able to
show that you were the driver.
- Dennis Reeves:
Being charged with a crime can be a frightening experience. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or a major felony, in State or Federal court, if convicted you could have substantial fines, court costs, and even jail or prison time imposed upon you. You have the right to be represented by an attorney, and when the government is trying to convict you of a crime, in addition to it being a right, it is also a necessity. It is also imperative that you have an attorney that is experienced in criminal defense.
- Laurie Key:
In Texas, your license is automatically suspended for 90 days, and refusal to comply with a blood alcohol test may cause you to lose your license for six months. However, we will handle the Motor Vehicle Administrative Hearing (MVAH) to try and avoid suspension of your driver’s license and will try to obtain an occupational license if needed. We understand the various field sobriety tests, such as the HGN (the pen test for your eyes) and blood alcohol tests. We are familiar with the components of the system and will exploit its downfalls.
The State of Texas recently enacted a statue making DUI convictions very costly. A first time conviction has a surcharge of $1000 per year, where as a second conviction is $1500 per year. This is on top of the jail time and/or first time fine payable upon initial conviction. These new penalties only increase the importance of an experienced and skilled attorney, who will fight for your rights and keep you out of jail.
- David Moody:
If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI), you need to move quickly to preserve your driving rights. Drunk driving cases can be very complicated, like defending two cases at once. It is vital that you contact an experienced DWI-DUI lawyer.
- Patrick Metze:
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), driver's license suspension, and traffic ticket violations have increased with the current statewide emphasis on prosecution of drunk drivers and removal of unlicensed / at-risk drivers from public roads.
Practicing criminal law involves representing clients at all levels within the state court system, including Municipal, Justice, County, District, Court of Appeals, and Court of Criminal Appeals.
- Bonner Smith:
With a criminal matter, it is essential that you act quickly to protect your rights.
- Susan Rowley:
If you are convicted of any of these crimes, whether at the misdemeanor
or felony level, you could be facing serious and long-lasting
consequences, such as large fines, lengthy probation periods, court
costs and restitution, loss of certain civil rights, and jail or prison
time. In addition, a criminal conviction can hinder future employment
and credit opportunities. If the government is trying to convict you of
a crime, they will employ experienced criminal attorneys to make it
happen. You need an experienced criminal attorney to defend you.
