The High Cost of a Commercial DWI Conviction in Forney, TX
We never want to scare clients, but you must be realistic about what you face. Understanding the potential consequences of a DWI conviction will help you understand the importance of hiring the right law firm for your defense.
The consequences of a commercial DWI conviction can include:
- Legal penalties: Per the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT), a first-time DWI offense can result in up to 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, and suspension of your driving privileges. For each subsequent DWI conviction, the legal penalties become more severe.
- Professional difficulties: When you lose your CDL because of a DWI conviction, you may also lose your job. Even if you eventually get your CDL and personal driving privileges back, you may find it difficult to get employment as a commercial driver. You may earn less or find less fulfillment in your work if you’re forced to change careers because of a commercial DWI conviction.
- Personal problems: You may lose parental rights, suffer mental health problems, and lose personal relationships because of a DWI conviction. Between possible imprisonment and stigma from the conviction, your personal life may be greatly affected.
Mistakes happen. Commercial motorists face a strict bar for a DWI arrest, with just a .04% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) being sufficient for a commercial DWI charge. Our team wants to help you find an acceptable outcome to this difficult situation.
How We Can Help with Your Commercial DWI Defense in Forney, TX
Our capable legal team can take the lead in your defense, including:
- Seeking evidence of law enforcement negligence: If a law enforcement officer stopped you without probable cause, acted inappropriately during your stop, did not properly calibrate the breathalyzer device, or engaged in any other negligent behavior, we can detail these errors in your case.
- Gathering any evidence that suggests you are not guilty: Such evidence may include contradictory BAC test results or plausible explanations for your BAC reading.
- Negotiating with the prosecutor: It’s worth exploring any plea bargains the prosecutor may offer. Depending on the details of your case, a plea agreement may be the most favorable outcome. However, we can fight for a dismissal of the charges or an exoneration if we feel this is the right legal approach for you.
- Taking your case to trial, if necessary: If the prosecutor does not offer a reasonable plea bargain, we may advise taking your case to court. We can defend you in front of a jury, aiming for a not-guilty verdict.
Our team can handle every feature of your defense. From interviewing witnesses and completing paperwork to preparing you for the legal process, we can do it all.
