DWI & DUI
Stops, testing, license consequences, and the criminal case — handled together, not in isolation.
A criminal charge in Texas puts the full weight of the State against you — and the pressure, from the first hour, is to resolve it quickly and quietly. We take the other view. We investigate, we test the State’s case, and we prepare every matter as though it is going to trial, because that preparation is what shapes every decision that follows.
We represent people in Texas state and federal courts, from the initial investigation through pretrial, trial, and appeal. Whatever the charge, our role is the same: to stand between you and the State, protect your rights at every step, and make sure the decisions in your case are informed ones — made by you, with counsel who has done the work.
Stops, testing, license consequences, and the criminal case — handled together, not in isolation.
Possession through distribution, in state and federal court, with attention to how the evidence was obtained.
Charges that carry consequences well beyond the courtroom, defended with that in view.
Federal court is a different arena with different rules. We practice in all four Texas federal districts.
When a case does not end the way it should have, we review the record for what can be challenged.
As a general matter, you have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer. Exercising both early is usually wise. This is general information, not advice about your situation — speak with an attorney about the specific facts of your case.
State charges are brought under Texas law and prosecuted in Texas courts; federal charges are brought under federal law and prosecuted in federal court, which has its own procedures and sentencing framework. Which applies depends on the alleged conduct and who is prosecuting it.
Even a misdemeanor can carry jail exposure, a permanent record, and collateral consequences for employment, housing, and licensing. Understanding those consequences before making any decision is why people consult a lawyer early, regardless of how minor a charge may seem.
Many cases resolve before trial and many do not — it depends on the facts, the evidence, and your goals. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, because that preparation strengthens your position whichever way the case ultimately goes.
