Many residents of Richmond and Sugar Land are more shocked than anyone else when they are arrested for drunk driving. Are you concerned about the impact on your profession if you are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol (DWI)? You are right to be concerned about your reputation and your future after a drunk driving arrest. If you are convicted, your short-term consequences may include the following:
- Fines
- Possible loss of your driver's licenses
- A fee of $3,000 for reinstatement of your driver's license
- Incarceration
- Probation
Longer-term consequences may include damage to your career and other negative repercussions of a criminal arrest. Your family and friends may judge you or shun you. Future goals and opportunities may become impossible to grasp with a drunk driving conviction on your record.
For the best outcome in your DWI case in or near Richmond or Sugar Land, consult with a Fort Bend County DWI lawyer about the most effective strategies in your defense. Examples of successful strategies in some clients' previous cases have been the following:
- Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
- Challenging law enforcement agents' use of field sobriety tests and the validity of your test
Aggressive pursuit of the least punitive outcome attainable may result in outcomes such as the following: fines reduced, charges reduced or dropped, recovery of driving privileges, probation instead of jail time.
