At NO Law Firm PLLC, we understand that facing DWI/DUI charges can be one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of your life. That's why we are dedicated to providing aggressive and strategic defense representation to clients in McKinney, TX, and surrounding areas. Our experienced attorney has a proven track record of success in handling all aspects of DWI/DUI cases, including the following sub-practice areas:


DWI Defense

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charges can have serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Our attorney is well-versed in Texas DWI laws and has the knowledge and experience to build a strong defense on your behalf. From challenging the legality of the traffic stop to disputing the results of chemical tests, we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.


Prescription Drug (Rx) DWI

Being arrested for DWI involving prescription drugs can be particularly complex, as these cases often involve scientific evidence and expert testimony. Our attorney has extensive experience handling Rx DWI cases and understands the unique challenges they present. Whether your arrest involved painkillers, sedatives, or other prescription medications, we will work diligently to build a strategic defense tailored to the specific circumstances of your case.


DUI Defense

In Texas, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) refers to operating a motor vehicle with any detectable amount of alcohol in your system if you are under 21 years old. While DUI is typically considered a less severe offense than DWI, it can still have serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and community service. Our attorney will fight vigorously to protect your rights and minimize the impact of a DUI charge on your future.


Enhancements

Enhancements such as prior DWI convictions, open containers, or having a child passenger in the vehicle can significantly increase the severity of DWI charges and potential penalties. Our attorney is well-versed in Texas enhancement laws and knows how to challenge the prosecution's case effectively. Whether you're facing a first-time DWI charge or an enhanced offense, we will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.


Field Sobriety Tests

Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) are commonly used by law enforcement officers to assess a driver's level of impairment during a traffic stop. However, these tests are not always accurate or reliable indicators of intoxication. Our attorney will carefully review the circumstances surrounding your FSTs and challenge any inconsistencies or inaccuracies that may exist. We will work to ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.


Administrative License Revocation (ALR) & Occupational Driver's License (ODL)

Following a DWI arrest, you may face administrative license revocation (ALR) proceedings that could result in the suspension of your driver's license. Our attorney has extensive experience representing clients in ALR hearings and fighting to protect their driving privileges. Additionally, if your license is suspended, we can help you obtain an Occupational Driver's License (ODL) that allows you to drive to essential locations such as work or school.


At NO Law Firm PLLC, we understand the gravity of DWI/DUI charges and the impact they can have on your life.
