The Key to a Good DWI Defense

FIRST THINGS FIRST - request your ALR hearing!

You only have 15 days to request your administrative hearing regarding your driver's license suspension. This is a time sensitive hearing that provides invaluable insight and evidence for Mrs. Tucker as she defends YOUR DWI charge.

(If you want to know more about ALRs, check out ALR)

Second, call Mrs. Tucker and schedule an appointment. This is a call you won't regret because her experience and victories speak for themselves. Don't make the mistake of hiring someone just based on money - you ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for when it comes to hiring a DWI defense lawyer.

Remember the State of Texas has unlimited resources to prosecute you - & they will! Be sure you hire an attorney who can level the playing field!

After you schedule your appointment, fill out the PROSPECTIVE CLIENT INFORMATION - DWI. You will find it under CLIENT FORMS.

Next, since you know the police wrote a report to convict you, you should also write a report to help Mrs. Tucker DEFEND you.

Your report should be a detailed statement about what happened. Begin with the night before your arrest and detail all events leading up to your arrest. List any witnesses that could help you. Include their contact information and, if possible, have them draft a brief statement of what they would say if called to testify.

To defend your case, Mrs. Tucker will also obtain copies of your video, police reports, inventory logs, driving records, and information from the jail booking - essentially, she will recreate the District Attorney's file so that you and she both will have this valuable information.

Mrs. Tucker will also request information on the officer that arrested you and review his or her training records, personnel file, and internal affairs file.

If you requested your ALR.... You are in luck because many lawyers overlook the importance of this hearing - not Mrs. Tucker! She knows that her trial preparation really begins here. And that is why she prepares for this hearing as if it were your trial.
But testimony and evidence are only part of the picture at the Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker. The firm also has an expert witness at their disposal who is a former police officer certified in field sobriety testing and he reviews cases whenever Mrs. Tucker feels that will benefit you.

After all this information is gathered, Mrs. Tucker will meet with you again to review it all and help you decide whether to plead or go to trial. But she cautions:

If you plead, you lose by allowing the State to simply convict you. If this is your first DWI, you have little to lose by trying your case.

The Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker, believes that many people plead their DWI because they are afraid of the unknown. Mrs. Tucker understands this and will discuss your fears and concerns at great length, so that you have a comfort level with whatever decision you make.

Contact the Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker at (972) 492-2889 or (972) 306-3330 so Mrs. Tucker and her staff can immediately begin helping you. Before your first appointment, fill out the Client Information form and prepare a detailed written statement of all the events surrounding your arrest as soon as possible. If there are any witnesses, get their contact information and have them draft a brief statement. They may prove invaluable should you decide to go to trial. Mrs. Tucker has helped many people with their DWI cases.
