It can be a big mistake for some people arrested for DUI to call the first Houston attorney they hear or know personally. DUI is not a simple legal issue although it is very common. You need to take the defense of your DUI case very seriously.
Only an experienced Houston, Texas DUI lawyer can advise you on ways your case may be defensible. Make sure that the lawyer that you will hire has already gone to trial on a Houston DUI case, has studied the Texas DUI law and understands the procedures fully, knows the ways to defend a DUI case and willing to go to trial if necessary.
Do You Need a Houston DWI Lawyer?
Feb 1st
There are about three categories you can place yourself in based on the level of which you really need a Houston DWI lawyer. Some people really need one, others probably need one, and others can go either way. There’s no one who absolutely should not hire a lawyer, but even if you don’t necessarily need one, it’s a nice convenience. I give below a short explanation of the situations which might indicate that you have no choice but to hire an experienced Houston DWI lawyer.
You absolutely should hire a lawyer if…
-
you are on your third DUI ticket or above. Just looking at the law, you can see how the fines and the jail terms and license revocation periods and so on shoot up dramatically each time you get caught or DUI. It’s already expensive the first time, but much much more so the third.
-
you were in a very serious accident. If you managed to injure or kill someone in an accident, then you are going to be on the stand for a lot more than just drunk driving.
-
your job is one which involves transportation. Maybe you drive a taxi or deliver things or are a traveling salesperson, but if you drive for a living then you’ll need some help getting a temporary restricted license.
