Dallas DWI Lawyer

Defending DWI and DUI Charges

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) are some of the most common arrests in the criminal justice system. Just because you arrested, however, does not mean that you are going to be convicted. DWI cases are often won by our team at the Mathur Law Offices simply because the government does not properly stop the client while driving. Additionally, there are often errors in the way a police officer provides tests for DWI.

The officer must give tests in a manner consistent with the law. Also the police agency is responsible for properly preserving evidence, taking samples of breath or blood in accordance with the law or established standards of practice. Properly storing samples taken can also be an area of contest. Moreover, officers sometimes embellish the case to make it seem stronger. No one, including a police officer, wants to admit they were wrong. Police officers and prosecutors also do not want to lose. In fact, from the moment a person gets stopped to the time a person goes to trial, there are teams of people out to make a case against you.

Why Hire a DWI Attorney in Dallas?

After the initial charge, it is imperative that you hire a Dallas DWI lawyer that you trust and that you think will do a good job for you. A lawyer with a strong work ethic will do his or her best without you having to worry or push them. Hard workers work hard at everything they do, lazy people do not work hard at anything they do. Second, let your lawyer review the evidence against you. Third, take your lawyer's advice. There are several things that a lawyer will look for:

1. Was the stop made consistently with the law?
2. Was the evidence gathered legally?
3. Was the officer fair in his examination of the client?
4. Was the evidence preserved properly?
5. What kind of evidence was gathered to prove guilt?
6. What kind of evidence could have been gathered to prove innocence?
7. How were tests administered?
8. How and when were samples drawn?
9. Who took samples of breath and blood and were they qualified under the law?
10. Who gave field sobriety tests, were they qualified under the law?
11. Who is testifying and what is their background and expertise?

These are just some of the most common things to look for. There is a lot more to a DWI/DUI case than how much one had to drink or what the results are of the breath or blood test. To learn more, call our legal team for a consultation to review your case.
