Dependable Protection From DWI Charges
If you face driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges, you could be up against some severe consequences. Even a first offense in Texas can result in jail time. At the Law Office of Joshua Andor, P.C., we have represented individuals facing criminal charges for more than a decade and have the experience you need during this stressful time.
Attorney Joshua Andor is board-certified in criminal law, a rare distinction that highlights his in-depth knowledge of criminal law and defense proceedings. We will carefully evaluate the circumstances surrounding your charges in an effort to reduce or eliminate your potential penalties. Our team can capably represent you in negotiations or court, depending on the course of your case.
Alcohol Limits And Consequences
The blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is .08 percent, with additional penalties if your BAC is .15 percent or higher. If you refuse a breath test at a police traffic stop, your license will be automatically revoked for 180 days. If there is a child in your vehicle at the time of arrest, your fine and jail time will be dramatically increased.
DWI And Drug Use
A DWI does not only apply to alcohol use; you can be charged with DWI for being under the influence of either prescription or illegal drugs while operating a vehicle. Consequences for a first time DWI-drugs offense include:
- Jail time of 3 to 180 days
- Revoked driver’s license for up to a year
- An annual payment of $1,000 to $2,000 to keep your driver’s license in good standing once reinstated
Partnering With You Throughout Your Defense
Josh will partner with you to develop a tailored defense strategy given the unique factors of your situation. We always aim to secure the best outcome given your circumstances.
It is especially crucial to work with a capable lawyer if you face multiple DWI charges. With each subsequent offense, you face increasingly severe penalties. In addition to a longer jail sentence, you could face:
- An alcohol or drug assessment, education and treatment program
- Installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle
- Confiscation of your vehicle
