Fighting the Life Changing Consequences of a DWI Arrest
Even if you have never been arrested and worked hard to lead a good life, a single DWI arrest can bring that reputation and that work crashing down around you. From the moment the police lights reflect from your rear-view mirror, you are up against license suspensions, hefty fines, a tarnished criminal record and even the prospect of jail time.
You need a lawyer. More importantly, you need an attorney you can trust to be there for you, to work with all aspects of your drunk driving case and to counsel you on your options and your rights. I am Dave Howard, Attorney at Law, and I have spent more than 15 years helping people defend their rights and protect their future in Williamson County, including Round Rock, and throughout Central Texas.
Know What You're Up Against
Don't assume that your DWI arrest will just blow over, or that you'll just pay a simple fine and get your license back. My clients are often startled to find out how steep the penalties for even a first time DWI conviction can be, including fines in the thousands of dollars and a substantial license suspension.
Among the criminal penalties you could face for a misdemeanor or felony DWI charge:
- Driver's license suspension
- Up to $2,000 in fines
- A state mandated surcharge of up to $2,000 per year for three years
- Probation
- Up to six months in jail
- A required ignition interlock device on your vehicle
My office will work with you from start to finish to minimize the long-term negative impact of an arrest by fighting to protect your driving privileges, working with prosecutors, seeking pretrial interventions and providing experienced criminal defense and client support.
