The Importance of a DWI Attorney in Texas
Texas has strict laws when it comes to driving while intoxicated. If you have been arrested for DWI, you are likely facing a variety of consequences, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. The legal system in Texas can be complex and intimidating, and the consequences of a DWI conviction can be far-reaching, affecting your personal and professional life. A DWI attorney plays a critical role in defending you against these charges. With their knowledge of the law, procedures, and local court systems, they can provide you with the guidance you need to navigate through this difficult time. One of the first things your DWI attorney will do is listen to your side of the story. They understand how stressful it is to face these charges and will take the time to explain the legal process and your options. They will work closely with you, ensuring that you are informed every step of the way.Reviewing the Evidence and Building a Strong Defense
Once you have an attorney on your side, their job is to investigate the details of your case. This includes reviewing all of the evidence that the prosecution has against you, such as police reports, breathalyzer results, field sobriety test results, and any witness testimony. Your attorney will carefully examine each piece of evidence to find inconsistencies or errors that may weaken the prosecution’s case.

Negotiating with the Prosecution
Another important role that a DWI attorney plays is in negotiating with the prosecution. Your attorney will work with the prosecutor to try to reach a fair and reasonable resolution to your case. In some instances, this could mean negotiating for a plea bargain that reduces the charges or penalties you are facing. This is especially important if the evidence against you is strong, as a plea deal may allow you to avoid the harshest consequences of a conviction, such as a lengthy jail sentence. However, it’s important to understand that not all DWI cases can be resolved through negotiation. If the evidence against you is weak or there are strong arguments for your defense, your attorney may advise you to go to trial. Regardless of the path your case takes, a good attorney will be able to weigh your options and advise you on the best course of action.

I was charged with a DWI and resisting arrest. Knowing Mr. Wilder previously, I went with the Wilder Law Firm to help me out. Their office was able to get my resisting charge thrown out and reduced my DWI charge for me. This result and lesser sentence allows me a better opportunity to recover from the mistake I made. I appreciate Megan being so kind and patient with me during my process. I would recommend her 10/10."

After being arrested for DUI, I contacted Doug Wilder upon recommendation. Mr. Wilder and his entire staff were amazing with their professional handling of my case from start to finish. Every time I rang with questions someone answered the phone, no long waits for a return call. This was important to me considering a DUI is so stressful. Mr. Wilder and his staff not only got my case dismissed but also guided me through the process and offered utmost care. I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend the Wilder Firm."
