You Have Just 15 Days to Keep Your Driver's License!

In the event that you are arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI), it is imperative that you file a request for an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing within a 15-day period to avoid the suspension of your driver's license. It is important to understand that this hearing operates independently from any criminal proceedings you might encounter related to alcohol offenses. If you do not initiate this request within the allotted time, your license will be automatically suspended. For support regarding this matter, we encourage you to reach out to our office at your earliest convenience.

It is widely recognized that declining to undergo a breath or blood test can lead to an immediate suspension of your driving privileges. Whether you opted out of the test or participated and did not pass, securing the services of a knowledgeable DWI attorney in Houston is essential to advocate for the preservation of your driver’s license.

DEDICATED, PERSONALIZED ATTENTION TO YOUR CASE

Being arrested for DWI or DUI in Houston does not automatically imply guilt. As your dedicated Houston DWI Attorney, Paul will meticulously examine the specifics of your case to gather all pertinent information, ensuring he can assist you to the fullest extent, regardless of whether this is your first offense. There are numerous aspects where law enforcement may have erred or overlooked critical details, and these discrepancies could significantly influence the outcome, potentially leading to either a conviction or a dismissal of the charges against you.

GET EXPERT ASSISTANCE

A pertinent illustration of this issue is the arrest of individuals for driving under the influence, despite having consumed only one or two alcoholic beverages. This situation stands in stark contrast to certain public service announcements, such as "Drink. Drive. Go to Jail," which may mislead the public into believing that any level of alcohol consumption while driving is unlawful. In reality, it is permissible to consume alcohol and operate a vehicle, provided that one's driving ability remains unimpaired and the Blood Alcohol Content does not exceed the legal limit of .08 at the time of driving.

Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your case to verify that law enforcement adhered to all required protocols in a meticulous and lawful manner, ensuring that all field sobriety assessments were executed correctly. Should any discrepancies be found, there is a possibility that the results could be deemed inadmissible. Conversely, if the test outcomes are accepted as evidence, we may opt to engage a qualified expert witness to interpret the findings and provide an alternative perspective for the jury's consideration. A failed breath test should not be viewed as a definitive setback; rather, it underscores the importance of enlisting the services of a seasoned DWI attorney like Paul Darrow.

With a background as a former prosecutor, Paul offers extensive expertise to his role as a DWI/DUI attorney, leveraging his insights and experience to advocate vigorously for his clients. His proficiency in navigating the complexities of criminal charges makes him an invaluable member of any defense team, particularly for those confronting the severe repercussions of a potential conviction. For dedicated legal support, reach out to Paul at (713) 641-5300 today.
