Southlake DWI & CRIMINAL Defense Attorney


Drivers who have been pulled over in Southlake, Texas for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), also commmonly known as drunk driving, have many problems to consider. These can include time behind bars, State surcharges and driver's license suspension. Fortunately, our law firm has been in practice for more than two decades, and knows what it takes to provide DWI defense to clients facing such criminal charges. To set up a consultation, please complete our DWI Contact Form.


License Suspensions over Southlake DWI


If you were pulled over in Southlake for Driving While Intoxicated, and either failed or declined to take a breath test, you could now be up against an Administrative License Revocation (ALR suspension). In this case, the DWI defense team at the law office of Jack Byno & Associates can try to acquire you an Occupational Driver's License (ODL) or, if it is a better option for you and your record, challenge the ALR in court.

If you happen to be convicted of a DWI, and it is not your first DWI conviction, part of the penalty phase could include a license suspension that ordinarily lasts one or two years. If it is your first conviction, you may not necessarily have your driver's license suspended. But in the case that you do, our law firm may be able to obtain you a ODL, so that you can continue to drive yourself to work, doctor appointments and the like.


Please complete our DL Suspension Contact Form for help fighting your suspension.


Ramifications to Southlake DWI & DUI


Although they are related, DWI and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) are two separate terms. While our DWI defense lawyers understand both scenarios thoroughly, if you are a motorist convicted of a DWI in Southlake, you could be facing serious consequences, which may include State surcharges of $1,000 per year and increased insurance premiums. More serious penalties, such as a suspended driver's license and even arrest, may arise if you fail to pay the State surcharges.


​Drivers facing DUI charges include those under the legal drinking age or otherwise incapacitated due to high levels of alcohol consumption. Penalties for DWI are more consequential than those for DUI, but both are serious charges that often require the attention of a traffic ticket lawyer. Driver's licenses can be suspended in both cases, but suspension periods are shorter for DUI, although factors affecting this can include whether or not it is your first traffic offense.


Other Penalties for Southlake DWI


​Contingent upon whether your Southlake DWI is your first criminal offense, the ensuing penalties vary. Misdemeanor or felony, your particular case could be further affected by details such as auto accidents resulting from the DWI, open containers and fatalities. Even so, the DWI defense attorneys at our law firm are well-rehearsed and equipped to handle your case and negotiate the best deal possible for you.​
