Guidance You Need After a DWI Arrest in Galveston County
One minute you are having a good time with friends or family members and the next you are being arrested and charged with a DWI or DUI. A time like this can be confusing and scary for anyone and relying on police officers to explain your rights to you will only put you at a greater disadvantage. By hiring an experienced lawyer, you can get answers to your questions and understand your rights to DWI defense in the state of Texas.
There are two important aspects of DWI defense that must be addressed by you and your attorney.
The first aspect is the Administrative Law Review (ALR), where you are able to challenge the suspension of your driver's license. Your license will be automatically suspended if you fail or refuse a breath test during a drunk driving arrest and you have 15 days to challenge the suspension.
The second aspect is the criminal proceeding, where your innocence or guilt will be determined.
At my firm, I, Bret Griffin, can represent you in both cases. As a former DWI prosecutor in Galveston County, Texas, I understand how prosecutors and law enforcement officials will attempt to build a case against you and the assumptions and liberties that are sometimes taken during arrests and the gathering of evidence. I will use my experience to fight for the justice you deserve.

You Have the Right to Remain Silent
