Represent Yourself in Traffic Court Not With Your DWI Defense

For some reason, a lot of people think they could represent themselves in a DWI case.  They quickly change their mind once they have been arrested or go to court for the first time.  A person arrested in Harris County for DWI/DUI will not be offered probation if they are representing themselves.  Also, they do not know how to save their driver's license.  In other instances, they come up with a dimwitted defense that create more problems that they solve. 

Our firm has represented fellow lawyers that have been arrested for DWI, but not practice criminal defense because they understand the seriousness of the offense and all the pitfalls that are associated with this crime.  Thus, if you need help regarding your DWI visit our website at www.mmalaw.com or call us at (800) 724-1876.

 

When Do the Judges Require the Interlock?

Judges are required to order the installation of the interlock machine on subsequent DWI offenses in Texas.  Also, most Harris County, Texas judges order the machine to be installed when there is an accident involved in the criminal case.  The most annoying part of this is that they do this regardless of who caused the accident or if the person accused is guilty or not of the DWI.  What ever happened to being presumed innocent?

Luckily, not all Texas judges act this way.  This practice is not common in Fort Bend County, Texas.  It has been my experience that a person arrested in cities of Sugar Land, Missouri City, or Richmond  fair much better then someone arrested for DWI in Houston.
