San Antonio DWI/DUI Lawyer ▪ Texas Drunk Driving Attorney

Driving while intoxicated (DWI or sometimes known as DUI) is treated very seriously in Texas, and it is necessary to assert your rights if you have been charged with this offense. If you are convicted for DWI, you could face:

• Jail or prison time
• Alcohol use assessment
• Economic costs, including fines, surcharges for automobile licensing, increased insurance rates, and potential job loss
• Community service and probation
• Suspended drivers license and vehicle forfeiture

In other words, the price of even a misdemeanor driving under the influence charge is high. If you have been accused of DWI in Bexar County, call 210-490-1207 to talk to San Antonio, Texas attorney Anthony Cantrell before consenting to a blood alcohol test.

Don't Give the Prosecutor His Case!

One of the most challenging aspects of DWI defense is that too often our clients volunteer the evidence a prosecutor needs to get a conviction. Since lowering the legal blood alcohol level to .08, consuming three average sized alcoholic beverages within an hour is often enough to be above the drunk driving limit. If you have been pulled over, assert your right to not incriminate yourself. Do not tell the officer how much you have consumed. Do not consent to field sobriety tests. While Texas implied consent laws maintain driving is a privilege rather than a right, you do not have to give up your rights in order to drive.

If you have been accused of DWI, we will aggressively work for the best outcome for you. We will challenge any breathalyzer test results and the basis for the stop. If there were any aggravating factors that increase the sentence, such as a child in the car (DWI with possibility of injury of a minor), an accident causing injury (intoxication assault) or death (intoxication manslaughter), or a previous conviction, we will work to decrease the charges or dismiss them if possible. We will help you save your driving privileges in the administrative hearing (ALR), and assist you in securing an occupational drivers license if you do face suspension.

We also handle related matters, including juvenile driving under the influence and boating while intoxicated.
