Drunk Driving Charges

Drunk Driving & Traffic Offenses Lawyer - Texas
Driving While Intoxicated - DUI & DWI – San Antonio

A Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Charge can be a misdemeanor or felony. The level of the charge depends on the number of previous convictions for DWI, injuries or death caused by the accident and many other factors. Attorney Anthony Cantrell is as board certified criminal defense lawyer with the experience and skill to handle your DWI Case.

Challenging the Breath Test

In the majority of drunk driving cases a breath analysis machine (or breathalyzer) is used, not a blood test. If this is used as the primary evidence it is vulnerable to attack by a skillful Texas DWI Attorney.

You might assume that since the state has approved the use of the breathalyzer, then its accuracy and reliability are not subject to challenge. The opposite is true. Most people have no idea how woefully inadequate breathalyzers are as evidence-gathering devices. These machines are unsophisticated and subject to much scrutiny. Don’t assume that you are guilty. Texas drunk driving attorney Anthony Cantrell understands the weaknesses of the prosecutor’s case. He will use his skill and experience to defend your rights.

Accused of Drunk Driving?

Traffic violations can accrue serious criminal consequences when the offense in question involves an accusation of driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated or operating while intoxicated. These charges are commonly referred to by the acronyms of DUI, DWI, and OWI. A drunk driving conviction in Texas affects a person negatively in various ways including:

• Alcohol assessment and treatment
• Community service and probation
• Criminal record
• Fines and forfeitures
• Increased insurance rates
• Mandatory jail or prison sentence
• Suspension or loss of driver's license
