Intoxication Assault and Manslaughter in Texas
DWI charges are serious enough in themselves but when circumstances surrounding a DWI increase those charges to felonies in the state of Texas, getting criminal defense from an experienced attorney is even more important. Intoxication assault, intoxication manslaughter, and DWI with a child passenger are all felony drunk driving offenses that carry punishments ranging of up to twenty years in prison and fines that can range as high as $10,000.
Most people charged with these crimes are everyday people who have never been in trouble with the legal system before and are suddenly facing the prospect of going to prison for years. Naturally, there is a great deal of anxiety and fear that you may have about your future. As a DWI lawyer, I, Bret Griffin, work hard to provide an effective criminal defense that will reduce or dismiss charges against my clients. It is also my goal to act as a source of comfort and confidence to my clients in what may be a very uncertain and frightening time in their life.
DWI accidents that lead to serious bodily injuries or death have severe penalties that can put your future at risk. Do not delay the decision to speak with an experienced attorney about your case. Call me as soon as possible to begin your case at 888-889-0926.
DWI Accidents in Houston and Galveston County, Texas
In any accident where someone other than the driver - including other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians - is seriously injured or killed, and the driver's intoxication is proven to be the cause of the injury, intoxication assault and manslaughter charges may be filed. Prosecutors in these cases do not have to prove any intent to harm and only have to prove that the driver was intoxicated and that intoxication caused the accident that resulted in an injury or death.
As a former DWI prosecutor in Galveston County, I know the procedures and techniques used by police officers to gather evidence and build cases against DWI accident suspects. I also represent individuals in felony DWI cases that stem from the DWI with a child passenger or prior convictions for two or more DWI offenses. In your defense, I will look at all evidence that has been gathered against you, including blood and chemical test results, to discredit the prosecution's case.
Serious Charges Deserve Dedicated Criminal Defense
Every criminal charge should be taken seriously but felony DWI charges, intoxication assault, and intoxication manslaughter deserve a high level of quality criminal defense.
