Step One: Contact Stephen T Bowling, DWI & Criminal Defense Attorneys

If you find yourself in need of a San Marcos Criminal Defense Attorney, contact us right away for immediate answers. We are available 24/7 to schedule a Free Consultation. We have had instances where a criminal charge was dismissed after we obtained evidence that would have otherwise been lost. These vary based on the case type but one example is a Hays County DWI arrest. As your San Marcos Criminal Defense Lawyer this typically happens by obtaining security camera footage or photos of the arrest area.

Call today to schedule a Free Consultation where we explain the process and potential defenses to your criminal case.

Step Two: Arrange a License Hearing, if appropriate

In San Marcos, Texas, if you are arrested for driving while intoxicated, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended unless an Administrative License Revocation hearing is requested. In order to appeal the suspension, you will need to arrange a hearing with the Department of Public Safety. This hearing must be requested within 15 days of the day you received notice.

Step Three: Fight the Criminal Charges

You are innocent until proven guilty. It may not feel that way based on bond conditions and the hassle that comes with having a pending criminal charge. The standard for an officer to arrest a person is far different than the standard for the state to convict that person.

This means that although you were arrested it does not necessarily have to lead to a conviction. Despite the facts surrounding the arrest we will attack the charges with vigor on your behalf. We do this by challenging the methods and procedures used to arrest you and the science of the DWI breath or DWI blood test.

No matter the facts, the team at Stephen T Bowling, DWI & Criminal Defense Attorneys will work tirelessly as your Hays County Criminal Defense Lawyers to defend your case.

Step Four: Minimize the damage

If you are found guilty of a criminal offense, you will experience both mental and physical hardship. This can be in the form of serving jail time, dealing with probation, or dealing with a license suspension and fines. A criminal conviction on your criminal record can preclude you from many employment opportunities and can permanently affect your reputation. In fact, a DWI in Texas can never be expunged. In some circumstances you may even be deported for a criminal arrest; even without a conviction! As your San Marcos Criminal Lawyers, we work diligently to prevent you from being convicted. The primary goal is to get a result in your case that will minimize the damage caused by a potential conviction.
