We’re Experienced Defense Lawyers Defending Your Rights
Although every case is unique, there is a pattern to most criminal cases and many procedures that police must follow in all situations.
In almost every situation, a law enforcement officer sees a driver break a traffic law (such as by driving through a red light), stops the vehicle, sees some indication that the driver has consumed alcohol, administers field sobriety tests and then arrests the driver for Driving While Intoxicated.
We examine every action taken by police leading up to and during the arrest, and often find reasons to challenge the validity of the stop and arrest which can result in a DWI case being thrown out of court.
Reasons We Challenge Suspicion of Drunk Driving Cases
Listed below are the most common justifications we have as a legal team for fighting back against the charges on our clients and initiating traffic stop that led up to our client being detained and charged.

I hired them a while back for a DWI out in Harris County, they're good and if you need help with any kind of legal matter, give em a call. For a lawyer, Tad has a great personality so working with him should be easier than working with other lawyers.
He is the one lawyer that I can call and put my trust into. We’ve used him a couple of times, once for a family matter and another time for a troubled relative. He’ll help, tell you the truth with no sugar-coating, and will work for his salt. He’s a good guy and when you go to their office, they make you feel at home, like you’re part of the team. Good lawyers and great folks.
I've had the pleasure of working with Tad personally as a technology consultant for him in the past. We've eaten lunch and dinner together. I know that Tad is very dedicated to his clients and cares for them off the clock. He's definitely the lawyer you want on your side.
