Austin Alcohol Offense Attorney

Representing Clients in Criminal Cases Involving Alcohol

In Texas, alcohol and intoxication offenses are taken very seriously and can be classified as either misdemeanors or felonies. Alcohol-related offenses can carry a wide range of punishments from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences, usually depending on whether a motor vehicle was being operated at the time of intoxication, whether someone was injured or killed as a result of the alcohol-related offense, and a person's previous criminal history.

Whether you are charged with Felony Driving While Intoxication or Public Intoxication, conviction of an intoxication-related offense could lead to your driver's license being suspended, affect your ability to rent an apartment, eligibility for student loans, and even cost you your job or impact your ability to pursue the career of your choice. It is crucial in these cases that you have professional legal representation. As an Austin alcohol offense lawyer serving Travis County and Williamson County, Texas, I provide aggressive and thorough legal counsel to those who are facing these types of offenses.

Legal Defense against Serious Consequences

Before you can be convicted and sentenced, that state must prove the criminal charges levied against you.  If you have been charged with an alcohol-related crime, I can investigate the circumstances and legality surrounding your arrest and the charges against you. My experienced legal assistance can mean the difference between a case dismissal and spending time in prison. I take my job seriously and will use all of my considerable experience and legal abilities to aggressively defend and represent you. There are many factors to be considered in your defense. As an Austin criminal defense attorney, I evaluate each case on an individual basis. When you contact me for a free initial consultation, I can review your situation and advise you on what needs to be done.

Underage Drinking

Among college students and young adults, alcohol is the probably the single leading factor in criminal arrests. On campus and at parties throughout the Austin area, consuming alcohol, driving under the influence of alcohol, and providing alcohol to minors under the age of twenty-one often lead to serious criminal consequences. Although many parties and other group functions revolve around alcohol, the law doesn't excuse you from responsibility. If you have been charged with a crime involving alcohol, or if you are the parent of a college or high school student charged with a crime, your first order of business in such a situation should be to get dedicated legal representation.
