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.

Everything was handled with care and consideration in a very timely manner. It all happened much faster than I expected.

"High Ethical Standards"Everything was clearly explained. I could tell Mr. H has very high ethical standards which created a sense of trust for us. He was thorough and met all my deadlines. I've had only negative experiences before Mr. H regarding lawyers. I will be recommending him to everyone who needs legal help.
-
"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.
-
"Assured That I Am In Good Hands"I had no idea how this all would work. But, no matter how small and confusing my questions were they were all treated with importance and taken seriously. I was never pushed, but was always assured that I am in good hands. I was able to trust John, which is rare. I have no second thoughts about having him as my lawyer or recommending him to my loved ones.
-
"Not Enough Money Or Words To Show How I Feel"I don't have enough money or words to show how I feel. I can't express enough how much I really appreciate everything.

"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!
