DWI

Lewisville DWI Defense Lawyer

What Are the Penalties for DWI in Texas?

There are a number of important factors that must be involved in order for a DWI arrest to be lawful. Your charges could be dropped, or your case dismissed, if it can be proven that the evidence against you is faulty or invalid. For example, law enforcement officers are not supposed to make DWI stops unless they witness evidence of intoxication, or someone has called in to report the suspected drunk driver. In order to actually arrest someone on charges of DWI, the individual must fail any of several forms of field sobriety tests and / or a blood alcohol content (BAC) test. In most other cases, you may be able to fight your DWI based on police misconduct.

    "I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process."
    I researched and wanted a lawyer familiar with military families and the Haugen Law Firm was it! I had so many different factors in my divorce and child custody, and you truly get what you pay for. I am so thankful to have found them and for all the guidance and help through the process. I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more! This is already a stressful situation and to be able to have a team to help me better understand the ins and outs of the legal tidbits and process helped. It was well worth the cost and even though it feels expensive I know without a doubt that my divorce and custody was done right, and the paperwork shows it. They helped me think of things a regular divorce lawyer wouldn't know due to being a military family. If I need legal help again, I will be coming back for sure! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process.
    "He is extremely knowledgeable and it was such a pleasure working with the entire team."
    I highly recommend Conner Haugen for Estate Planning. After losing my parents, I knew I needed to get my affairs in order and I was so impressed at how thoroughly everything was addressed. He is extremely knowledgeable and it was such a pleasure working with the entire team.
    "Salvaged My Situation"
    After meeting with Mr. Haugen, I felt he was honest, qualified and had a commitment to my best interest, which my previous attorney failed to do. Mr. Haugen was up against salvaging my situation my previous attorney made a mess of. Mr. Haugen is an honest and extremely competent attorney who is tough, yet remains calm and collected. He salvaged the mess I was in and helped me to move on. For that I greatly appreciate his service.
    "Great team you can count on!"
    John and all the staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed to obtaining the best results.

    "Connor was excellent in handling my case."
    Connor was excellent in handling my case. His knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. The Haugen Law office was incredibly friendly and professional. What a wonderful team to work with! I highly recommend them if you are looking for high quality lawyers.
    "Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter."
    I don't even know where to begin to describe the amazing job accomplished by Conner and the Haugen Law Firm Team in my divorce case that spanned the course of nearly 4 years! Conner is exactly the lawyer you want in the trenches with you representing you in a divorce, or any case, for that matter. His work is thorough, very organized, professional, detailed, aggressive, and effective- a true class act! Conner and the whole team put me at ease during the most difficult time in my life. No human should have to go to court the extreme amount that I had to in my very litigious divorce, but I was always confident with Conner as my representation and advocate. Hiring him was the best decision I made in this whole process. I am forever grateful to Conner and the whole Haugen Law Firm team for their hard work and dedication in my case. Highly recommend!
    "Working with this firm was seamless, efficient, and super-friendly."
    Working with this firm was seamless, efficient, and super-friendly. Wills and trusts were new to us, and we walked away from the experience with everything we needed as well as a much more thorough understanding of the details behind them. As an added bonus they were part of my company's legal benefits network. I would highly recommend this firm for your needs.
