A Tough Defense for DWI Charges in Galveston County, Texas
Any quick Internet search or browse through the phone book will reveal hundreds of criminal defense attorneys who are available to handle your DWI defense. All lawyers are not created equal, however, and knowing how to hire a DWI attorney is an important aspect of getting the level of defense that you deserve. Below are a few tips on what to look for and how to know you are hiring the right person for your particular case.
Certainly, there are many elements to consider when hiring a lawyer but time is still a very critical element in defending criminal cases. Police officers and prosecutors begin building a case against you from the moment of your arrest and you only have 15 days to request an Administrative Law Review (ALR) hearing to dispute the automatic suspension of your driver's license.

How to Hire a DWI Attorney for Your Case
There are several aspects to consider when hiring an attorney, including:
- Experience:
How many DWI cases has the attorney handled? What is the attorney's record in those cases? Knowing what to look for in investigations, what procedures prosecutors and law enforcement officials use, and how to present an effective defense are all skills that an attorney develops over time. Experience is an asset that cannot be underestimated. - Litigation:
Your attorney cannot be afraid of or unfamiliar with the courtroom. Unless your case is settled prior to trial or the charges are dismissed, the courtroom is where your case will be decided. A seasoned litigator is important in your case. - Cost Effective Representation:
Quality legal service should not have to be prohibitively expensive. Look for an attorney who offers reasonable fees, payment plans, and free initial consultations, so that you can get the representation you deserve without giving up your financial health. - Relationship with the Attorney:
Most importantly, you need to hire the right attorney for you. This means getting to know the attorney and seeing whether it is the right fit. This can only be properly evaluated in person and I offer a free initial consultation to help you make that determination.
