Houston DWI Defense Attorney
Misdemeanor and Felony DWI Charges in Houston
When you are searching for an attorney to defend you in a DWI case, who you choose to represent you is a critical decision. There are many law firms and individual lawyers in the Houston area who offer this service, but few have the credentials and experience, as well as the court record of The Samuelson Law Firm. I am proud of my firm's many notable victories, and am often called upon to lecture on DWI defense. I am AV rated (preeminent) by Martindale-Hubbell, a respected peer review rating service.
Being arrested and charged is dehumanizing and frightening. Law enforcement is not sympathetic to your concerns and the process of being taken to jail, fingerprinted and going through the processes of the criminal justice system in a DWI charge is exceptionally concerning. Most of my clients have had no earlier run-in with the law, and include respected professionals such as doctors, lawyers, police officers, teachers, and other professionals that could face real damage to the personal and professional reputation if fast and effective action is not taken.
DWI Lawyer in Houston
If you are facing charges in a DWI case, the DWI penalties in Texas are very severe. There are cases in which justice was not served, and I offer legal counsel in DWI appeals. Most DWI arrests are based upon a measured blood alcohol concentration or BAC. It is well established that the testing units and testing procedures are subject to error, either in incorrect application, failure to correctly calibrate, or the testing unit itself has a history of incorrect readings. The BAC evidence in your case should be evaluated immediately to determine what can be done with regard to challenging the evidence. Whether you are facing a first time DWI, or have been convicted on multiple DWI charges, are accused of the crime of DWI with injury, DWI & drugs, or any felony DWI, we can help.
Young people who are facing charges involving underage DWI need legal counsel that will zealously advocate for their rights and help them to avoid the damage that could affect their future opportunities in life. My firm also provides representation in DWI expungements.
If you are facing criminal accusations involving leaving the scene or vehicular manslaughter, the quality of your defense attorney is likely the most important decision you will ever make. I take on cases as if I am the person facing criminal accusations. I promise that when I take on a case, I will do everything that I would do if I was the one facing charges, and will aggressively pursue a positive case outcome, using every possible defense strategy. I am very familiar with successfully challenging evidence such as breath & blood tests, field sobriety tests, and in taking action for in drivers' license restoration. Whether you are facing charges regarding a failure to stop, are dealing with DPS - driver responsibility surcharges, are accused of driving while license suspended or invalid, or are under legal action related to DWI and prescription medications, I know how to take action and fight for your rights and interests. I also provide legal counsel to address occupational licenses/restricted driving privileges, ignition interlock devices, SCRAM bracelets, can help you seek alternative sentencing in AA and outpatient alcohol and drug treatment or in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

I am committed to protecting your rights and in fighting back if you have been stopped by law enforcement without probable cause, or have been searched illegally. My 15 years in practice and my experience has given me the depth of understanding of the legal process and how best to fight for my clients in DWI or traffic related offenses. I know how important the outcome of your case is to you, and I am committed to seeking the best possible results for you.
