A night on the town. One too many drinks. Suddenly, you see police lights flashing in your rearview mirror.
For more than 70,000 Texans arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) last year, this situation is all too familiar.
The Prosper DWI attorneys at Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian, can help.
DWI cases involve both a civil and criminal component, and our DWI attorneys are experienced at handling both.
Civil Consequences for DWI
The civil portion of a DWI charges involves the Department of Public Safety’s attempt to have your driver’s license suspended. Although it is possible to obtain an occupational license that allows individuals to drive for up to 12 hours per day, for individuals who commute long distances or travel extensively for their employment, the suspension of their driver’s license, even with the limited driving privileges, can literally cost them their job.
Criminal Consequences for DWI
The criminal portion involves criminal charges and can result in possible jail or prison time, depending on whether the charge is a first, second or third offense, and fines up to $10,000.
If you have been arrested and charged with a DWI, it is important that you contact a Prosper DWI attorney immediately. Whether or not you were intoxicated is based not only the officer’s observations of your behavior and proper administration of field sobriety tests, but also on the science behind determining blood alcohol content from breathalyzer and blood tests.
Our attorneys not only understand the science behind these results, but are experienced in pinpointing the weaknesses in the science and explaining it to the jury. The result: the DWI attorneys at Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian have successfully won our clients’ acquittals and dismissals of all charges.
