Accepting a Plea Agreement for DUI
Many people think they can simply plead their way out of a DWI problem. But it's not that simple. In the first place, plea bargains are not always offered by the prosecutor. When it comes to DWI in Texas, the District Attorney would often times rather seek a conviction in court.
Even if you are offered a plea bargain, it may not be the easy way out that you hope for. Often, it is not be the best or least expensive option. In fact, it may mean the prosecutor has a weak case that can be defeated. There are special circumstances behind every DWI charge. We have been involved in hundreds of DWI cases and trials. We know the process and we know how to work hard to find the right outcome.

We Protect Your License at the Administrative Driver's License Hearing
For many people charged with DWI, the Administrative License Review (ALR) is the most important process. After being charged with drunk driving in Texas, you have only 15 days to schedule an ALR hearing to fight for your driving privileges. If you fail to schedule a hearing, you will forfeit your right to contest your license suspension. Failing to contest your drivers license suspension means you right to drive will be forfeited for 90 to 180 days, and if you are caught driving, you are subject to further criminal penalties.
The ALR is also your lawyer's first opportunity to test and challenge the state’s evidence that will affect your criminal case. It is critical to hire a defense attorney who has experience handling ALR and criminal matters simultaneously.
In the event your license is suspended, we can help you seek a provisional driver's license for work and family necessities.

In addition to DWI defense, we also provide aggressive defense against all traffic tickets, including speeding, reckless driving and other charges that may or may not accompany a DWI arrest. Jonathan Munier is an experienced traffic court defense attorney and has represented many clients in all of the local municipal courts.
