DWI/DUI (Drunk Driving)

Experienced DWI Defense Lawyers

The prosecutors in Collin County have a reputation for zealously seeking convictions in drunk driving cases. Even for a first offense, the consequences of a DWI/DUI are expensive and long-lasting. For repeat offenses, jail time and long-term license revocation are likely.

The law firm of Parker & Montgomery, Attorneys at Law fights these charges and works hard to minimize the impact on your life. Contact us immediately to protect your rights and take steps to avoid the worst. We practice in Collin County and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Act Promptly to Keep Your Driving Privileges
You have 10 days from the date of arrest to request an administrative hearing or your Texas driver's license will be automatically suspended. We do fight license suspension. Even if we don't win your hearing, we can usually secure a restricted license for driving to work and other necessary travel.

The Consequences of DWI/DUI

Conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) or the lesser charge of driving under the influence (DUI) carries serious criminal and collateral penalties, depending on prior offenses, blood-alcohol content or injury accident:

  • Possible jail
  • License suspension or driving restrictions
  • High fines and court fees
  • Alcohol assessment or treatment
  • Probation and a criminal record
  • Ignition interlock
  • Vehicle forfeiture
  • Higher car insurance rates
  • Job loss

A DWI/DUI conviction cannot be expunged or sealed. It will show up on background checks, and sharply increases the penalties if you are arrested for drunk driving a year from now or 10 years from now.

We Will Fight for You

Criminal defense trial lawyer Mark Montgomery and Kimberly Smith, a former Collin County prosecutor bring over 20 years of experience to your DWI defense. They examine whether police had probable cause to stop you and whether they properly administered field sobriety tests. They may also challenge the results of breath tests or blood tests to get charges dismissed or reduced. If a guilty plea comes with too many strings attached, Mr. Montgomery and Ms. Smith are prepared to take your case to a jury.
