Flash of red and blue lights. A roadside test that feels stacked against you. Now you’re cuffed, booked, and labeled as a drunk driver. If you’re searching for a DWI lawyer San Antonio, you know one night shouldn’t erase your career, your license, and your reputation. Here’s how to fight back in Bexar County.
Even a first DWI can mean license suspension, fines, ignition devices, and a record that follows you everywhere. Employers and landlords don’t shrug it off.
If this isn’t your first arrest, the penalties climb—fast. Jail time, higher fines, and longer license suspensions are all on the table.
Breath or blood tests? Refusals? These choices have consequences. A lawyer reviews every detail to see if procedures were botched or rights violated.
You only have days to challenge a license suspension. Miss that window, and you’re off the road before your case even starts.
Learn the moves that protect your license and build your defense from day one.
Uneven pavement, medical issues, nerves—all can skew the results. A skilled lawyer cross-examines the officer’s methods and exposes flaws.
Reports are written to justify the arrest. A defense lawyer digs into dash cam, body cam, and witness accounts to reveal the full story.
Prosecutors push guilty pleas so cases move fast. That convenience isn’t for you—it’s for them.
The stronger the case you build, the more pressure on the state to negotiate fairly. Trial readiness forces better offers—or total dismissal.
You can refuse, but it comes with immediate license suspension and can be used against you. A lawyer examines whether the test was requested legally and if results can be challenged.
Costs depend on your case, but at Volk & McElroy we’re upfront and honest. The bigger cost is going in unprepared and losing your license, your freedom, and your record.
