What Type Of Person Gets A DWI?

As a Houston DWI lawyer I often get asked about what type of people get arrested for DWI. The most complete answer is anyone that has a drink, and drives a car may be stopped by the police and may be arrested for drunk driving in Houston, Texas. I represent people from all walks of life. I have represented accountants, bartenders, pilots, doctors, just about any profession that you can imagine. I have to emphasize to people that just because someone has been arrested for the crime of DWI it does not make guilty of anything. I also bring to their attention that President Bush and Vice President Cheney have been arrested for drunk driving in their lifetimes. Almost dailly some type of news agency reports that a celebrity being charged with DWI such as Heather Locklear, Mel Gibson, and Lindsay Lohan. Even the tenth richest person in the United States has been arrested for DWI. The question always has a judgmental tone, but once it is broken down and it is explained how easy it could happen to anyone the person asking the question understands. At this point it becomes critical to hire a top notch attorney to represent them especially if they are not guilty of the crime.
