What to Know About DWI in Dallas
Centralized Court Proceedings in Dallas County – Dallas County handles all DWI cases within its jurisdiction, regardless of the specific city where the arrest occurred. Consequently, if you are arrested for a DWI in Dallas, your legal proceedings and court appearances will remain in Dallas County.
Local Law Enforcement Experience – In addition, Mimi Coffey has extensive experience dealing with the Fort Worth Police Department. For instance, early in her career, she successfully challenged the department in a civil suit. The department had attempted to charge an illegal fee of over $100,000 to withhold police officer personnel files. As a result, this history gives her a unique perspective. Moreover, it gives her a rigorous approach when cross-examining local law enforcement.
What is the 15-Day Rule?
One of the biggest mistakes many individuals who have been arrested for DWI make is in waiting too long to contact an attorney to get the legal helps they need to fight the case. The 15-day rule requires you to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing within 15 calendar days of receiving your suspension notice after a DWI arrest to prevent your driver’s license from being automatically suspended.
- Your license will be suspended within 15 days unless you request a hearing.
- Experienced DWI attorneys can request a hearing to save your license.
- DWI Defense Attorneys may get your penalties reduced or dismissed.
- Fines may cost well over $10,000 unless your DWI defense Lawyer can reduce the charges.
- There will be mandatory jail time unless a DWI attorney fights the charges.
