Charged with DWI? We Fight Like Your Future is at Stake.
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a type of criminal charge for people caught driving drunk. The legal threshold for this charge is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.
Common wisdom says to never drive drunk. However, it is one of the more common crimes in Arlington and Tarrant County. Some people do it because they think they’re sober, whereas others don’t treat it as seriously as it should be treated.
DWI charges are no laughing matter. When you show up to your court date, the Travis County court system will not be your friend. They will see you as a possible public danger due to your actions.
This is why Michael & Associates exists. We want to help as many residents as possible in the American Dream City by getting their cases dismissed or charges dropped.
Arlingtonites facing DWIs are in the best of care with Michael & Associates. Contact us for a free case review to find out what we can do to help you in these trying times.
A DWI Could Land You in Prison
As mentioned before, DWIs are common in Arlington, but neither the Texas government nor the Tarrant County court system will give you a slap on the wrist and send you home. Instead, you will be facing these possible penalties:
For your 1st offense:
- Up to a $2,000 fine
- Between 3 and 180 days in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to 12 months
For your 2nd offense:
- Up to a $4,000 fine
- Between 1 and 12 months in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to 24 months
For your 3rd+ offense:
- Up to a $10,000 fine
- Between 2 and 10 years in prison
- Loss of driver’s license for up to 24 months
- A felony on your record
On top of all of this, you will be facing enhanced charges and a much more difficult case if you were caught driving drunk with a child in the car.
Never Give Up – Fight Your DWI
If you are hit with the full force of the law for your DWI conviction, you will be facing more than just legal penalties.
You will have to deal with further financial problems and social stigma. You will have a DWI on your driving record which can result in higher car insurance payments or the loss of your license. You will have a criminal record which will make it much harder to find a good job.
You made one mistake. You shouldn’t throw your life away over it. Put up a fight. Hire a competent attorney with years of experience and know-how to get you the best outcome possible for your case, even if it’s your third or fourth charge.
