Texas DWI Defense Lawyer for DWI Accidents

Auto accidents are devastating incidents for all parties involved. And when drunk driving is a factor in causing the accident, the accident becomes a criminal offense. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Texas is very serious and subject to felony charges if intoxication results in an accident that causes bodily harm or death. Your freedom is at stake and consulting a Texas DWI defense lawyer as soon as possible is vital for gathering evidence and preparing an effective defense.

Based in Houston, with offices in El Paso and McAllen, Guerra & Farah, PLLC, provides an experienced, aggressive defense against DWI charges throughout Texas, including El Paso, McAllen, Houston, Corpus Christi, and Brownsville.

Intoxication Assault and Intoxication Manslaughter Cases

The most serious DWI cases are accidents involving bodily injury or death. Ultimately, DWI laws exist to protect against traffic injuries and deaths, and consequently, sentencing can be harsh if convicted. An experienced Texas DWI defense attorney can explain your rights, charges being sought against you, and devise the best defense strategy to deal with your case.

Intoxication assault is a third degree felony and the name for a DWI accident that results from intoxication and causes serious bodily injury. Penalties include a minimum of two years and maximum of 10 years in prison, along with a $10,000 maximum fine.

Intoxication manslaughter is a second degree felony and involves a DWI accident that results from intoxication and causes death. Penalties include a minimum of two years and maximum of 20 years in prison. The maximum fine is $10,000.

Obtaining a Strong Defense against a DWI Accident

For many people, a DWI accident is their first experience with the criminal justice system. No one ever plans on being in a collision, which is a regrettable experience for everyone. However, breathalyzers are often not accurate or properly administered, and the injustice of convicting someone who was not legally drunk for intoxication manslaughter or assault can also be devastating. If involved in an accident and accused of DWI, protect your rights by obtaining an experienced DWI defense lawyer. Learn about possible strategies and options for your defense.
