East Texas DWI Lawyers

Defending your rights against drunk driving charges

If you have been charged with a drunk driving offense in Texas, you may be facing jail time and a significant fine. You may also have to deal with other long-term consequences of a DUI/DWI conviction, including a suspended driver’s license and increased insurance rates. You have a right to defend yourself against these charges and the consequences which follow a drunk driving conviction. Since 1976, our attorneys have successfully handled a significant number of DWI and DUI cases. Our attorneys know what to do to defend you.

A common misconception in DWI and DUI cases is that the cost of enlisting an attorney is too high and that little can be done. When you contact us, you will find that our fees are competitive and affordable.

You have only 14 days following a drunk driving arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver’s license by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). If you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), a DUI/DWI conviction may lead not only to the loss of your CDL, but also to the loss of your job. To preserve your license and minimize the consequences of your DUI/DWI arrest, we encourage you to contact us immediately.

Our legal team members have completed DUI/DWI certification, which is the same course used to train law enforcement officers who administer field sobriety tests. Since we understand the procedures used to conduct field sobriety tests, we know when those tests are performed incorrectly and can challenge the validity of those tests in court.

Whether you have been charged with drinking and driving because you have failed a breath test, or you have been accused of driving under the influence of prescription drugs or illegal narcotics, we can help.

At Files Harrison & Millslagle, P.C., our DUI/DWI defense attorneys are available to stand up for the rights of people in Tyler and throughout East Texas, including Longview, Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and Texarkana.
