Protecting Your Future After a DWI/ DUI Arrest
Being arrested for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is a serious matter that can lead to life-changing consequences. At Fahle Law Firm, PLLC, we understand the stress and uncertainty that come with these charges. A conviction can impact your driver’s license, employment, finances, and even your freedom. That’s why we are committed to providing strategic, aggressive, and personalized defense for individuals facing DWI/DUI charges. Whether this is your first offense or you have prior convictions, we are here to protect your rights and help you move forward.
the Consequences of a DWI/DUI
The penalties for DWI/DUI in Texas (or your applicable state) can be harsh and escalate quickly. Even a first offense can result in up to a year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine, license suspension, community service hours, court costs, ignition interlock, random drug testing, and more. Subsequent offenses carry more severe penalties, including longer license suspensions, ignition interlock requirements, and even possible felony charges that could result in prison time in the Texas Department of Corrections. Beyond the courtroom, a conviction can lead to higher insurance premiums, employment issues, and lasting damage to your reputation. At Fahle Law Firm, PLLC, we make it our mission to limit or eliminate these consequences wherever possible.
When you choose Fahle Law Firm, PLLC, you are choosing a firm that takes a proactive and thorough approach to DWI/DUI defense. We start by carefully reviewing the circumstances of your arrest how the traffic stop was conducted, whether your rights were respected, and if proper procedures were followed during field sobriety or chemical testing. We scrutinize every detail for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, such as faulty breathalyzer equipment, improperly calibrated machines, or unlawful police conduct. By challenging the evidence, we often find opportunities to reduce or dismiss charges altogether.
When your future is on the line, you need a legal team that knows how to win. At Fahle Law Firm, PLLC, we bring experience, insight, and a relentless work ethic to every DWI/DUI case we take. We pride ourselves on being accessible to our clients, clearly explaining your options, and fighting aggressively in and out of court. We understand what’s at stake—and we treat your case with the urgency and dedication it deserves.
DWI/DUI charges move fast, and time is critical. You only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing to challenge your license suspension. This Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing is crucial to your DWI case, because it allows us to put the arresting officer on the stand, under oath, and get their story on the record before they ever have a chance to talk to the prosecuting attorney. If the arresting officer’s story later changes to something more convenient for the prosecutor, we can show this record to the jury and annihilate the officer’s credibility. This is a vital but often neglected tool for the defense in a DWI case. While many firms charge more to handle the ALR hearing, or won’t handle it at all, John Fahle does not charge an additional fee, and insists on requesting the hearing whenever possible in order to exploit this underused defensive weapon. The sooner you contact us, the more options we’ll have to protect your rights and build a strong defense. Don’t let a DWI/DUI arrest define your future.
