If you’ve been charged with drunk or impaired driving, the prosecution will need to prove their case against you beyond a reasonable doubt.

Your Houston DWI lawyer will scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the traffic stop and/or any evidence collected against you.

A Houston DWI Lawyer Discusses Defense Strategies Based on the Traffic Stop

As your Houston DWI attorney can explain, the police must follow certain procedures when conducting a DWI traffic stop. Among other things, they must have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed. This might be satisfied by erratic driving, excessive speed, etc. An arrest may follow if they then have probable cause that you are under the influence. This may result from field sobriety testing or perhaps a breathalyzer. If the police did not have probable cause to arrest you, this could form the basis of a defense to the charges.
