Experienced Defense From A Former DWI Prosecutor
The price of a DWI conviction can be high:
- Driver's license suspension
- Big fines
- Court costs
- Lost time from work
- A permanent stain on your record
- Probation
- Possible jail-time
- Ignition interlock
- Driver's license surcharge
A DWI case is built on the opinion of the officer. Unless you give the officer evidence to use against you, the prosecution's case is no more than the officer's word against yours. That is why the officer subtlety tries to have you give evidence against yourself. Don't do that.
You have rights. Use them. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney. You have the right to refuse to take the intoxilyzer/breathalyzer test or blood test. There is no logical reason for you to forgo those rights and simply comply with every demand to cooperate.
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, the sooner you have an attorney working with you, the better chance you've got to:
- Keep your license
- Minimize fines and costs
- Not lose your job
- Keep your record clean
- Keep yourself out of jail
The Experience and Passion to Make A Difference
Attorney Martin Zimmerman has experience as a former DWI task force prosecutor and actively participates as a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association's DWI Legislative Committee in working to improve and change laws concerning DWI. He was recognized in 2006 in the Rising Stars Edition of the Texas Super Lawyers Magazine. As a former prosecutor, he knows how the case against you is built and how to fight against it.
We can not only help you fight your arrest, but if you contact us within 15 days of your arrest, we can help you protect your license while we fight. Many people don't even realize that the Texas Department of Public Safety will move to suspend your license from 90 days to two years following a DWI arrest, even prior to conviction. Even fewer people realize that you can fight the suspension.
From the moment a police officer initially confronts you, whether to administer a field sobriety test or even ask, "Have you been drinking,?" evidence is being gathered against you. Put a lawyer on your side to protect yourself as soon as possible.
