An Aggressive Collin County Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Texas, it is important to understand the serious consequences that you may be facing: license suspension, heavy fines, higher insurance rates, or the installation of a deep lung device in your vehicle — or jail time in some cases. It is also extremely important to understand the legal rights that you have, including the right to have an attorney defend you against the charges.
Having the assistance of an aggressive DWI defense lawyer can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. At The Law Offices of Michael D. Curran and Donald R. McDermitt , we are extremely familiar with Texas DWI laws, sentencing guidelines and the various options that may be available to you. With many years of experience in representing drivers in court, we are highly skilled at defending our clients against the full range of DWI charges, from first-time misdemeanor DWI to intoxication manslaughter. Contact us for a free, confidential consultation about your situation.
Potentially Serious Penalties Call For the Strongest Possible Defense
In defending you against misdemeanor or felony DWI charges, we conduct a thorough investigation of the facts of your case, including the details of your arrest and the events that led to it. Our investigation can involve:
- Getting a copy of the arrest video for analysis
- Determining that there was adequate probable cause for pulling you over
- Looking into the experience of the arresting officer and others involved in your case
- Exploring whether a breath test was performed properly and whether there were problems with the device used
In everything we do, we will fight tenaciously for your interests, knowing that a lot may be at stake.
Minimizing the Damage to You
In situations where it is possible to have DWI charges dismissed, we work hard toward that end. When dismissal is not possible, our goal is to minimize the damage and arrange the best deal possible for our clients, whether they are dealing with a felony or a misdemeanor. We have helped many of our clients:
- Secure lower fines
- Gain shorter periods of probation
- Utilize educational and treatment options as alternatives to harsher penalties
- Get an occupational driver's license so they can continue driving to work when a driver's license suspension has occurred
If you are convicted of a repeat DWI defense or if your BAC was over .16%, a deep lung device, also known as an ignition interlock device, may be ordered by a judge to be installed in your vehicle, resulting in significant expense to you. In some cases, we can work to prevent this from happening.
