Houston DWI & DUI Lawyer Greater Houston
DWI & intoxication
A DWI arrest raises questions about your freedom, your license, and your future. It also raises questions about the evidence. Erik’s forensic science training helps him examine how that evidence was collected, tested, and interpreted.
I just got a DWI. What happens next?
Start with the charge, your release conditions, and any driver’s license notice. Erik reviews the stop, breath or blood testing, and the separate license process. Bring the actual notices so their deadlines can be checked.
01What we examine
Every detail has a story.
The evidence is reviewed in context, with a strategy shaped by your circumstances and priorities.
- The legal basis for the traffic stop and detention
- Body-camera and dash-camera footage
- How field sobriety exercises were administered
- Breath and blood testing, laboratory procedures, and chain of custody
- Medical conditions, injury, fatigue, or other explanations
- The notice and deadlines for any separate license proceeding

04Common questions
Questions people ask first.
General information only. Your situation deserves advice about its own facts.
Does a DWI arrest mean I will be convicted?
No. The charge must be evaluated against the evidence and applicable law. The stop, arrest, testing, and other circumstances all require review. No result can be guaranteed.
What about my driver’s license?
Texas DPS administers a separate ALR process in applicable cases. The hearing deadline depends on how and when the notice was issued. Contact counsel promptly and bring the actual notice.
Is refusing roadside exercises the same as refusing a blood test?
No. Roadside exercises and evidentiary breath or blood testing present different issues. Texas implied-consent rules and license consequences may apply to chemical testing, and a warrant may authorize testing.
