Dallas DWI Lawyer

Why You Need a Trial Lawyer for DWI Defense

Just because you have been arrested and charged with drunk driving, does not mean you are guilty. You stand as a citizen accused — and in need of a strong criminal defense attorney.

The DWI defense lawyers of Sorrels, Udashen, & Anton offer aggressive legal representation to people charged with drunk driving in Dallas and throughout Texas. If you have been arrested for DWI please contact our law firm as soon as possible to arrange for a case evaluation.

Keeping Your Record as Clean as Possible

It is important to do everything you can to keep a first or subsequent drunk driving arrest off your record. In addition to fines, probation, and possible jail time, a drunk driving conviction can result in a $1,000-a-year surcharge on your driver's license as well as increased insurance rates.

Because of the way Texas law defines the possible consequences for a drunk driving conviction, there is little benefit to negotiating a plea bargain in a DWI case. In many instances, your best option is to take the case to trial. Will your lawyer have the experience and knowledge necessary to defend you in court? The attorneys of Sorrels, Udashen, & Anton are up to the task, ready and willing to defend you at trial.

Minimizing Negative Consequences

A drunk driving case has two parts: An administrative license removal (ALR) process and the criminal charge of driving while intoxicated. We take both sides of the DWI equation very seriously. We will represent you at the ALR hearing and do everything possible so that you can retain your driving privileges. It is important to contact us as soon as possible after your arrest. You only have a limited time to request a hearing before your driver's license is automatically suspended.

To discuss the specifics of your case, please call our criminal defense law firm at 214-468-8100 or contact us by e-mail. From offices in Dallas, our DWI/DUI defense attorneys represent clients throughout Texas.
