Hunt, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

At .17 you would be considered "super drunk" and many prosecutor's offices have a policy against lowering the charge, especially to a non-alcohol related offense like reckless driving. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's an uphill battle. There may be issues with the stop or how your blood alcohol content was determined. Only an experienced DUI attorney with a trained eye would be able to tell you for certain. A good DUI attorney is a great investment. This is serious and can have long-lasting effects so I would consult with a DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible.

It just means it is not a trial setting. It will be a setting where Mr. Molina will be brought up to the court, and he will get to meet with his appointed attorney for the misdemeanor assault case. If he wants to resolve his case by a plea bargain, he can do so on that date. If not, he can reset for another non-trial setting, or, he can set his case for a pre-trial conference (and eventually trial). Feel free to give us a call, or send us an email if you want to discuss representation for his assault case, or the Felony Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle case he has pending.   Tristan LeGrande 281-684-3500  tristan@legrandelaw.com

Your case is most likely not in North Carolina. In North Carolina we have DWI not DUI. However, if some aspects of this type of case are universal. If law enforcement did everything properly and the .17 result is admissible. Your choices will most likely be to pled guilty or go to trial. .17**is over twice the legal limit in most states. There is no prosecutor or district attorney that I know of who would risk their career by reducing a DWI at .17 unless there is some serious defect with the case that would cause them to have a serious question about their ability to secure a conviction. You need to consult with an experienced DWI attorney to see if there are any defects in your case that could possibly be used to your advantage. However, like I said if everything was done properly, your attorney will most likely recommend a plea and will attempt to minimize the punishment aspect of a DWI conviction. It is a good thing that you were cooperative with highway patrol and have a good driving record. Often things like this are considered mitigating factors and could lessen any punishment you may receive. Good luck to you and please don't ever drive drunk again - remember it's not just you that's in danger on the road if you drive in that condition again.
