DWI

Fighting Drunk Driving Charges in Texas

San Antonio DWI Defense Lawyer Nico LaHood

You were stopped, arrested and charged with DWI. If you had anything to drink at all, you might be thinking, 'I'm guilty, so why fight it?'

Believe it or not, the law allows adults to drink responsibly. When you have a beer at a Spurs game, a glass of wine with your family at a restaurant or drink a little scotch at a business function, you are allowed to drive afterward. It is only a violation of the law if your driving was impaired by alcohol.

The truth is that the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were drunk to drive safely.

But isn't that what the DWI field sobriety tests and breath tests are supposed to prove? Not necessarily.

Police officers don't always have the training to properly administer and interpret a standard field sobriety test. Also, breath test equipment is notoriously unreliable and can often be challenged successfully in court.

Put the law to work for your defense against a DWI charge.

We are here to make sure that your rights are respected and that the prosecution dots every 'i' and crosses every 't' in their DWI case against you. It's their job and we hold them to it.

We will challenge the accuracy and voluntariness of breath and blood test evidence and will hold overzealous cops accountable when they violate your constitutional rights.
