Houston DWI Defense Lawyer

Drugs and DWI Charges in Houston

If you have been arrested for DWI/DUI in relation to drug use, it is essential that you contact a Houston DWI defense attorney at once for representation. Some people don't know that a DWI is the same whether you are impaired by drugs or alcohol. This can include narcotics, illegal drugs, or over the counter drugs. At the Martinez Law Firm, we have extensive experience handling DWI drug cases in Texas courts. We are committed to protecting your rights if you have been stopped by law enforcement without probable cause, or have been searched illegally. Effective criminal defense counsel can make all the difference between success and failure when facing these serious charges and we invite you to contact us today for a consultation.

DWI Penalties in Houston

According to our state Penal Code, if a person drives while intoxicated with any substance, the fact that they may be legally entitled to its use is not a valid defense against DWI. In other words, just because an individual, for example, is "high" on prescribed drugs, they are just as subject to DWI penalties if convicted as is someone driving while impaired by alcohol. Even cold and flu medicines can render a person legally unfit to drive a vehicle. Our firm can closely examine the arrest, procedures used to obtain evidence, and other factors to disprove or mitigate the case against you, just as if it were an alcohol DWI case.

With a former chief prosecutor in our firm, we have the well-rounded perspective to provide you with quality criminal defense. We have received a "Superb" rating (10/10) on Avvo.com, and proudly carry an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Call us today for legal counsel you can trust.
