The Martinez Law Firm offers DWI Defense services for many different charges

Driving while intoxicated (DWI, also known as Driving under the Influence or DUI in some areas) is a very serious charge in Texas that can create a variety of problems for anyone that is convicted long after the fines, court costs or their time has been served.The Martinez Law Firm, one of Texas’ most highly rated defense firms offers defense against DWI charges. Fighting charges against the prosecution can be a challenging task without adequate representation from a qualified attorney. This is particularly important because police officers routinely make an arrest because of a failure of field sobriety tests. In reality, these same officers do not know how to correctly administer the field sobriety test. The field sobriety tests give the officer probable to make an arrest, but it is up to the lawyer to illustrate to the prosecutor the mistakes made by the officer that leads to a dismissal of the charges.The Martinez Law Firm focuses its efforts on providing DWI defense even in the most challenging situations. While many first-time DWI charges are fairly straightforward, circumstances can make these cases much more complex and dangerous for the defendant than normal. Where a minor charge might include only probation, incidents such as intoxication manslaughter and driving with a child passenger while intoxicated fall under the category of felony DWIs and carry much harsher punishments for those accused of these charges.Working as a Houston DWI attorney has helped provide Herman Martinez and his staff with the experience necessary to represent clients in many different situations throughout their DWI experience. This includes not only a variety of court hearings, and trial but support throughout the entire case.Administrative License Revocation hearings, or ALRs, are hearings where The Martinez Law Firm can prevent a driver’s license from being suspended.
