If you or a loved one were arrested for a DWI offense in Houston, you’ll need an experienced defense lawyer in your corner to ensure that your rights are upheld, and that you aren’t taken advantage of by the prosecutors from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
A Top Choice for Houston Defendants
Houston DWI Lawyer Tad A. Nelson is among the top choices of Houstonians in need of legal representation for DWI related criminal cases. Persons convicted of drunk driving offenses in Texas face numerous penalties that can be avoided when the defendant has a lawyer fighting for them.
Saving Your TDL
The immediate impact of being arrested for drunk driving in Texas is Administrative License Revocation or ALR for short. ALR is the process of the state suspending your Texas Driver License on the basis of “suspicion” of driving while intoxicated without a trial or a jury convicting you of the offense. With The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates serving as your legal representation, you can be assured that our legal team will take steps to help keep you on the road. If you’re facing ALR after a drunk driving offense, our defense team will appear at the hearing and request the court to at least provide you with an occupational license. This way, you can continue to travel to and from your place of employment without being susceptible to arrest for driving with a suspended license in Houston.
Guilty & Innocent; DWI Charges Must Be Proven
Also worth nothing, not everyone accused of driving while intoxicated is guilty of the offense. With that said, even if you are guilty of driving while intoxicated, it doesn’t mean that you can be found guilty in the court of law. Prosecutors have a huge burden on their shoulders which is to prove the guilt of a defendant beyond a reasonable doubt of their innocence, which is usually a tall order when a defendant has an aggressive attorney retained. With an experienced Houston DWI defense lawyer as your representation, you can expect the evidence against you to be challenged and that prosecutors are held to the standard of proving their case, rather than otherwise.

A Qualified Houston Drunk Driving Lawyer
