When you’re arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Houston, it can seem as if the deck is stacked against you, and that the police have a rock-solid case with rock-solid evidence against you. This isn’t always the case. As an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has practiced law in Texas since 1991, I know this for a fact.
A Common Assumption of Guilt
The assumption of guilt is often voiced by clients of ours who took the Breathalyzer test and blew over 0.8, which is above the legal Blood Alcohol Limit. They mistakenly think that pleading out is the best idea. However, they don’t realize that DWI cases can be beat on the basis of the science or on other technical grounds.
DWI Charges Can Be Beat
Even if you didn’t take the Breathalyzer test, but took another type of field sobriety test and failed, all hope is not lost. Houston DWI defense attorney Tad A. Nelson has won a number of cases for our clients with many of those being considered unwinnable by onlookers. We’ve even won in multiple intoxication manslaughter trials.
Evidence Aside, DWI is a Charge Worth Fighting
Regardless of the evidence against you, it’s important to realize that The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates can engineer an effective legal defense for your situation. Criminal penalties associated with DWI convictions are serious, and carry a number of overlooked consequences. With skilled legal representation, such inconveniences can be avoided.

How Houston DWI Lawyer Tad A. Nelson Can Help
Attorneys Tad Nelson & Amber Spurlock will review the evidence, perform scientific analysis of the chemical evidence collected by the police, and will investigate all the details of your case.
We’ll also need your help in creating a defense strategy for your case.
We’ll need to know details about food you ate, beverages you drank, and when exactly you began to drive your vehicle so we can compare it to the officer’s report, and the time of your arrest.
Case Dismissal
A fully developed timeline of the day’s events may required to form a strong defense for you, and to get the case dismissed.
DWI Trials
The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates is ready to take your case to trial if required. We have a great record of serving the best interests of our clients when we take DWI cases to trial.
When mistakes are made during evidence collection we normally find out about it. If we find that mistakes were made in your case, it should make for a speedy case dismissal.
Even the facts of the arrest may create a solid defense. The police officer may have violated your rights, lacked probable cause for stopping you in the first place, or erred during evidence collection during their DWI investigation. If this is the case, and we can prove it, again, grounds for case dismissal.
