*Board-certified DWI Defense Lawyer Mimi Coffey By The National College Of DUI Defense

Dear Friend of the Coffey Firm,

There are many legal issues as a result of coronavirus and we want to give you helpful information that may be of some benefit.

Like you, we’re closely monitoring the developing effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We closed both offices (Ft. Worth & Dallas) per the “shelter in place” order and we are all working from home . Please do not hesitate to contact us. Please do not panic. This too will pass. We are wishing everyone good health and safety.

Covid-19 News Updates

The Courts are CLOSED
The Courts are closed until further notice. Please know that if you have a pending case with us, we are staying on top of rescheduled court dates. Only “essential court dates” (people in jail) where cases will be disposed are being set. We will contact you about your rescheduled court date. Please call or email if you have any questions.
