A DUI or DWI charge can affect your ability to drive, land you in jail, and lead to excessive fines. It may also affect your family life, your ability to work, and your livelihood. When your life is threatened by the consequences of a DUI or DWI charge, you need immediate legal assistance. Our attorneys will aggressively assert your rights in court. We are experienced in the first offense as well as multiple offense DUI cases.

San Antonio DWI Defense Lawyer
The cost of a DWI conviction when you don’t have anyone on your side to fight for your rights is steep. Even if you believe you were clearly in the wrong, the system is built with the expectation that a charged individual will have defense counsel. You need a Fort Worth lawyer on your side who understands the law, understands your rights and understands how significantly a DWI charge can impact your life.
When you receive a DUI charge (driving under the influence) or a DWI (driving while intoxicated), you should always take this charge very seriously. At The Law Office of San Antonio, TX, we urge you to refuse to answer any questions until you have consulted with our DUI defense attorney. Because one wrong move on your part can lead to the loss of your driver’s license, heavy fines, and possibly jail time, let us be the ones to speak for you.
Just because you have been arrested in a drunken driving incident, does not mean you will be charged. If you are charged, that does not mean you are guilty. You have recourse in your case and our seasoned DUI defense attorneys will exhaust every possible resource for you as your advocate. You have a very limited time in which you can secure your rights. The longer you wait, the higher the possibility of loss. This includes your license and your freedom.
When your freedom is at stake, every minute counts. Our attorneys have a defense success rate of over 95%, including DUI felony cases. We are well versed in Texas DUI law and as a former judge, our Attorney knows the system thoroughly thanks nearly 40 years of experience working in it. We will be the aggressive, dedicated lawyer you need defending you in your DUI case to help you avoid conviction, protect your rights, and keep your driving and criminal record clean.
Even before your arrest, law enforcement officials will be collecting evidence to be used against you. Our attorneys will protect your rights and challenge evidence presented against you. We will review police records, including breathalyzer results or field-sobriety test results, and determine whether they were properly administered. An officer must have probable cause to pull you over. Our attorneys will challenge any actions taken by the police officers if they acted outside the bounds of the law.
A DWI or DUI is a serious offense that will affect your record, impede your ability to drive, and may ultimately result in jail time. Contact us today for an immediate case evaluation. When your life is at risk, do not take a chance. You need immediate and aggressive legal assistance to ensure that your rights are protected.
Our DUI and DWI attorneys will work to find legal solutions for the many issues that arise related to a DUI. Contact us if you need assistance with any of the following:

Bexar County First Drunk Driving Arrest Defense Attorney
From the moment you see flashing lights in your rearview mirror, police officers are gathering evidence to arrest and convict you.

DWI Is Not Easy to Prove — Don’t Make the Prosecution’s Job Easier
There is only one sure way that prosecutors can convict you of a DWI, and that’s if you do nothing to defend yourself.
A lot of people seem to believe that there is no way to defend against a DWI charge. This is simply not true. While our attorney may not get every client off with a dismissal, we will work to explore every avenue and opportunity to minimize the impact on your life now and into the future.
Depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to:
- Get charges dismissed
- Reduce fines
- Avoid probation and jail time
- Avoid a driver’s license suspension
- Help you get a work license
- Find alternative programs
Many of our potential clients mistakenly believe that if it’s just a first time DWI offense, then it’s not really worth fighting. The opposite is actually true. Not only is a first-time offense the charge that is most important to fight, because that mark on your criminal record can change your life in unexpected ways for decades to come, but it is also probably the best chance you have to get real results.
