HOUSTON DWI LAWYER LISTINGS

That is why we call Attorney-LOCAL.com an "all find, no search" directory. There is no need to drill down through endless categories of often unfamiliar terminology. We bring you exactly what you are looking for online, right away.

The list of attorney on your left is short - but potent. We list only the most experienced Houston DWI lawyers. Each and every attorney you see listed here has at least ten years of criminal defense trial experience in DWI or "driving while intoxicated cases. Some of them even make DWI defense their avowed specialty.

A good example for that is my old criminal trial advocacy professor from law school, Garland "Mack" McInnis. He holds a special place on this page because he was an adjunct professor for criminal trial advocacy at Houston's prestigious South Texas College of Law for so many years that a lot of both the judges and "DAs" (District Attorneys or criminal prosecutors) in Houston were his students at one time or another, in addition to countless other Houston DWI lawyers.

"Mack" helped me with a number of criminal cases when I was still practicing civil litigation law. He is an "old school" kind of lawyer, so he doesn't have a web site or even an email address. This special mention is my way of saying "thanks" to him. Be sure to make him one Houston DWI lawyer you should definitely consult with before making your final choice. His Office phone number is (713) 224-6719. Tell him "Alex Wallenwein" sent you. He'll appreciate it if you do.

And that brings me to the next subject: how to make sure the DWI lawyer you choose is the right one for you.

How to Choose A Houston DWI Lawyer

Shopping for attorneys is just like shopping for anything else: it's smarter not to buy the first thing you see. You should pick three attorneys with experience in handling DWI cases based on thier online credentials and then interview them during an actual consultation.

If you don;t have the time it takes to complete this process, try to arrange at least for a phone consultation with the actual attorney who would be handling your case if you were to choose that particular firm. Don't be content with talking to just the case manager or the secretary.

When you talk to the attorney, whether in person or by phone, ask him how many DWI cases he had handled, how many of these he tried, and in how many trials he won an acquittal or obtained a very favorable plea bargain.

Try to pick a feisty Houston DWI lawyer who would rather try a case than routinely settle for a plea bargain. Even if the facts of your case are such that a plea bargain is in order (for example if your video recording shows you just keeled over and fell off your chair while they administered your blood test), lawyers like that have a reputation with the prosecutors, who usually know them rather well. These gnarly guys are often able to get more favorable plea bargains, if nothing else.
