Have you been charged with a DWI in Houston?
Have you considered what step to take next after your DWI charge? You don't have much time before you have to take action. The 15 day rule puts a limit on the amount of time you have to file an
ALR hearing. This is why you should contact a
Houston DWI attorney from The Martinez Law Firm. We are prepared to act quickly and efficiently when it comes to your charges so that you can get the best possible case results. When an officer pulls you over on suspicion of drunk driving, they will likely administer a series of
field sobriety tests. If you fail these tests then you face penalties such as having your license revoked, fines and even jail time.
You likely want to avoid these types of consequences, which is exactly why you need strong defense from an attorney at our firm. Any breath or blood test that reads .08 percent or higher warrants a DWI charge. When charged you must remember that you are not considered guilty yet. You can still obtain legal defense with the help of an attorney. You may even be charged with a DWI misdemeanor if it is a first time offense and you blow a .15 percent blood alcohol content. It doesn't take much to warrant a charge, but it also doesn't take much to obtain the strong defense that you need to get these charges dropped or lessened. Whatever the particulars of your arrest, this firm is willing to work with you in order to come up with the best possible plan so that you get the case results you are looking for.
