Dallas DWI Attorneys

Defense Against Drunk Driving Charges in Dallas

Are you facing charges for driving while intoxicated? The penalties for drunk driving are increasingly severe. In fact, the laws have become so harsh that even refusing a blood alcohol test can result in a driver's license suspension. At Fitzpatrick Jacks Smith & Uhl, each lawyer aggressively defends the rights and interests of people charged with a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). Our Dallas DWI attorneys have over 150 years of collective experience, including backgrounds in prosecution that we use to your advantage.

Who Would You Want Handling Your DWI?

Our team has experience both prosecuting and defending DWIs. We understand how the police handle—and mishandle—DWI arrests, and how the prosecutor's office builds DWI cases. Additionally, we understand how to challenge field tests and breathalyzer tests, how to help people obtain occupational driver's licenses, and how to avoid harsh DWI penalties.

It has been said that "a cheap lawyer can be the most expensive lawyer you ever hire." This is especially true of DWI attorneys. Including fines, increased insurance premiums, driver's license surcharges, automobile interlock devices, and legal fees, the impact on earnings a DWI conviction can have on your lifetime earning power can cost upwards of $50,000.00 or more. In addition, it can result in jail time and a permanent criminal record.

License Suspension Defense

Once you receive a notice of suspension there are only fifteen days to request a hearing in order to prevent an administrative license suspension or automatic license revocation. Our team will thoroughly prepare to represent a client at the suspension hearing. This is only the first step. Next, we examine the in-car video to ensure the officer had probable cause to make the stop and begin field sobriety tests. We then determine whether the field sobriety tests, breath tests or blood tests were properly administered. We defend our clients with every strategy, tactic, and ounce of energy at his disposal. The goal is simple: to win.
