Reader’s Question:

Back in 2000 I was convicted and had a DWI arrest. At that time, I lost my case and had to go through a lot of consequences. I believe that if I had chosen the right DWI lawyer, I may have won my case. How do I know if I had made the right decision of choosing a DWI lawyer? What are the strategies of the best DWI lawyer in Texas?

Sorry to hear about your previous experience with a DWI arrest, Kevin. In Texas, you can find the best and reputable DWI lawyer by checking their case history. How well do they handle their clients and how many case have they won? There are important questions any DWI defense attorney should ask and that includes:

Did the arresting officers have the necessary probable cause required to pull you over in the first place?
Were field sobriety tests administered properly?
Was the breathalyzer functioning correctly?
How was the machine calibrated?
Were proper arrest procedures followed?
Was a blood test taken, and if so, how was that evidence handled and then later analyzed?

Although there are a number of potentially effective strategies on how to defend someone against a DWI arrest. The number one strategy for avoiding a DWI conviction has nothing to do with anything any attorney can do for you. Instead, it has everything to do with the care you take in choosing that DWI attorney. Your attorney has to put in extra time and effort to stay up-to-date and knowledgeable about the latest techniques and approaches to a DWI defense.
