A felony DWI charge can result in stiff prison sentencing if found guilty, and in some cases, a life sentence. If you were arrested for DWI a 3rd time in Texas, you’ll most likely face felony charges.
However, 3-time DWI offenders can, in some cases, have the charge reduced to a misdemeanor depending on their blood alcohol level, time since last charge, and the savvy of their lawyer. Attorney Joseph Gagliardi will review your case and inform you of whether or not he believes your charge be reduced.
In the State of Texas, being charged with a felony DWI means you’ll need a smart attorney on your side that knows how to challenge blood test evidence, scientific collection methods, and the training of the officers.
Depending on the evidence, or the lack thereof, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office may not have a solid case against you, and if they do, we’ll still have options to hopefully keep you out of prison.
