DWI Defense Lawyer Serving Midland, Odessa, and the Permian Basin
A drunk driving conviction has serious consequences, including possible jail time, fines, a license suspension, and annual license surcharges. First and second offenses are misdemeanors, while third offenses and beyond are felonies in Texas. Woody Leverett knows what is at stake, and he can guide you through the process.
License Suspensions
You may be concerned about a license suspension following a drunk driving arrest. There are separate proceedings for the drunk driving charge, and the license suspension. There are firm deadlines for requesting an administrative hearing to fight a license suspension after failing a blood or breath test, so it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Woody Leverett can represent you in an administrative hearing to fight the suspension of your driver's license. Without a lawyer, you risk missing important deadlines, and having your license automatically suspended, which can mean being unable to drive to work.
