Tyler, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

First off, I am so sorry this happened.  It is always difficult for a parent to see their child go through the system, especially when he shows so much promise in completing his education.  Above all, your son's goal should be keeping it off of his permanent record.  The first step is to see if the arrest is a case the government can win.  A good criminal defense lawyer may be able to get the charges dismissed entirely.  If that isn't an option, there is a program called "DWI Pretrial Intervention" by which your son would be supervised for a year and, if he completes everything he is required to complete, the charges will be dismissed at the end.  Not everyone qualifies for this, so it is important to have a lawyer who understands the ins and outs of the program.   All of these options will require an excellent criminal defense/DWI lawyer familiar with the practice where your son is being charged.  Many of us will offer you a free consultation for your sons case, and will give you advice on how to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers and hire the one you believe is best suited to keep your son's record clean. Good luck, hope I helped! Regards, Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer

The test at the scene is different than any taken later. It is possible that the second test could be higher than the first. This, however, is probably better news because it shows that you may not have been intoxicated at the time you were driving. Find an attorney as soon as possible.

Call a DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible to discuss your situation in more detail. That attorney should be able to tell you what to expect, potential defenses, etc. If it's a Los Angeles case, feel free to contact me at 818-336-1384 to discuss further. Best of luck with your case.
