DWI Defense in Houston

When you’re looking for DWI defense in Houston, Texas, you need experienced legal counsel by your side. Under Texas law, the terms DUI and DWI are not interchangeable. A Texas DWI refers to any arrest where a police officer decides that someone has consumed alcohol or drugs to the extent that they cannot drive safely. Experienced legal representation from a DWI attorney can help protect your rights every step of the way. Our DWI defense in Houston can raise many issues – whether in preliminary hearings or at trial – to help you to gain leverage in your case. For example, we can determine whether the officer had a legal reason to stop you and if they administered state tests without malfunction or misuse. At the Law Office of Shahin Zamir, we can represent and help you maintain your driving privileges in Texas.

Breathalyzer error – whether from misuse or equipment malfunction – is often part of a DWI defense. Another defense is no probable cause, meaning that the police officer didn’t legally detain and arrest you. Yet another defense is that you weren’t driving. Perhaps you were sitting or sleeping in a car, but had no intention of driving. Our DWI defense attorney can use these instances to help you get reduced or dropped charges in Houston, Texas.

Some of the criminal and civil penalties for a DWI in Texas are extreme and include driver’s license suspension, fines, drug & alcohol abuse treatment, imprisonment, license restrictions, ignition interlock devices, and community service requirements.
