Have You Been Charged With DWI?

Why You Need the Expertise of an Experienced Attorney

In Texas, even on a first DWI offense, you face the possibility of spending up to 180 days in jail, up to a one year driver's license suspension, up to $2,000 in fines, and a DWI surcharge from the state of Texas of $1,000 per year for three years, and that's just for a first time offense without any aggravating circumstances – circumstances that worsen the penalties that you face. This doesn't include the permanent criminal record and the skyrocketing insurance premiums that go hand in hand with a DWI conviction.

Did you know that once you are convicted of a crime, that pesky criminal conviction makes it exceedingly difficult for one to obtain educational loans, certain professional licenses, housing and worst of all, employment? Many employers refuse to hire someone with a criminal record regardless of what they were convicted for. This means that just one DWI conviction can alter the course of your life permanently, and this potential outcome should be avoided at all costs.

DWI charges just so happen to be the one offense that is often committed by normal, everyday people who don't have a criminal record. Most people that are arrested for DWI not only have a lot to lose, but they are often productive citizens with jobs and families depending upon them. That said, it's extremely important that you hire the best Fort Worth DWI attorney that you can find to protect your freedom and the future of your driver's license, because your livelihood depends on it.
