In addition to a suspended license, Texas has harsh consequences for drunk driving Conviction that include fines, steep annual surcharges, and jail or prison time. A DWI conviction can result in higher insurance rates, difficulty finding a job and other challenges for the rest of your life. You also can't clear a DWI through expunction — a DWI conviction will remain on your record forever.

Criminal attorney Stephen H. Miller will work hard to counter every aspect of the prosecutor's case against you, including:

• Questioning whether the officer had a reasonable suspicion that you were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when you were pulled over for suspected drunk driving
• Analyzing whether there was probable cause to administer a Breathalyzer, Intoxilyzer or other chemical test
• Challenging breath and blood alcohol tests by looking at factors which interfere with an accurate blood alcohol test, and challenging the admissibility of improperly performed chemical test results
• Investigating whether the officer properly advised you of your rights concerning blood and breath tests and gave you a Miranda warning after your arrest

We will review the police reports and any video of your arrest. Using the evidence or lack of evidence and your version of the events, we will work hard to help you build a strong case against your DWI charge.

Skilled in Juvenile Drinking and Driving (Minor DUI) Cases

Texas has a zero tolerance law for underage drivers. That means that a driver under age 21 can be found guilty of driving under the influence if there is "any detectable amount of alcohol in their body."

Police officers don't always have to test for minor DUI. They can issue a citation or make an arrest simply because they smell alcohol on the driver's breath. Attorney Stephen H. Miller is also skilled in juvenile defense, including minor drunk-driving charges.
