Prosper DWI Attorney

Attorney For DWI Charges in Prosper Texas

Getting arrested for DWI can create a lot of far-reaching problems in your life. Many people face termination from their jobs or discipline at school. You are very likely to have your driving privileges revoked for a period of time, even before you get a chance to raise a defense at trial. Texas is known as a "tough on crime" state, which sometimes means that sentencing can be quite harsh if you are convicted of a drunk driving offense. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or felony DWI, a strong legal defense team is essential to preserving your rights and freedoms.

Law Offices of Biederman & Burleson P.L.L.C. is a criminal defense law firm with years of experience in DWI cases. Our skilled team of attorneys have firsthand experience representing those accused of DWI, so we know what it takes to achieve a positive outcome in these cases. We will work to meticulously review each piece of evidence and all relevant facts in your case to identify possible defense strategies. Our every move will be carefully designed to benefit you as much as possible.

Prosper Law Firm for First and Second DWIs

If this is your first or second DWI, the good news is that you are most likely being charged with a misdemeanor absent certain extreme circumstances. However, a misdemeanor conviction can still carry up to a year of jail time in Texas, and the collateral (non-judicial) consequences can affect you for many years to come.

Many DWI defendants are just as concerned about the loss of their driving privileges as they are about the possibility of jail time. It can be hard to get by when you cannot drive to pick up your kids, get to work, or run to the grocery store. There may be steps that we as attorneys can take to protect your ability to drive for these essential reasons.

Although a misdemeanor is less serious than a felony, the impact it has on your life can still be very serious. We will conduct a careful review of all evidence to identify weaknesses in the state's case or errors in the police officer's methods that can be used to help you.

Felony DWI Defense Lawyer in Denton County

In Texas, there are generally four reasons that a DWI might be charged as a felony:

• Injury - If you allegedly caused an accident that injured someone, you may be charged with intoxication assault.
• Fatality - If another person was killed, you may be facing intoxication manslaughter charges.
• Third or subsequent DWI - If you have two or more prior drunk driving convictions, a DWI will be automatically charged as a felony.
• Child passenger - Carrying a child under 15 years old while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a felony.

Depending on the reason your DWI is being charged as a felony, you could face between one year and life in prison. Felony DWIs must be taken extremely seriously.

Defenses Based on Police Error

We find that many of our DWI clients have been led to believe that the case against them is airtight, but this is rarely the case. Field sobriety testing and even chemical breathalyzer or blood tests are only as flawless as the police officers performing them and the conditions on the side of the road. One of the first things we will do is review the evidence collected following your arrest to identify any flaws or errors that could be used to invalidate the results of some of the testing you were subjected to.
