DWI trials are very complicated and there are a lot of things that can derail even the best defenses. Last week, I was counsel in a very tough case against two extremely talented prosecutors in a local county. I believe I fought hard for my client, but unfortunately the jury returned a verdict of guilty.

May was a good month at the office for DWI breath test cases. I had three “wins” this month on cases in which my clients all gave breath tests over the legal limit. As I have reported in this blog, there are many reasons why you should set a breath test case for trial and many ways in which a good, well-prepared attorney can “win” a breath test case over the legal limit.

As I have reported here before, there are many reasons why a person should not plead guilty if they gave a breath test that was over the legal limit of 0.08. I recently had a client, charged with DWI, who gave a breath sample nearly twice the legal limit. However, using a pre-trial motion strategy that I haved reference in this blog, I was able to get my client an acquittal.

Like I have said many times before, you never know what is going to happen at trial. Today, I had a breath test trial in a local county (I will not name the county to protect the prosecutors). My client gave a breath sample above the legal limit (greater than 0.08) and above the statutory limit in Texas that would have required a deep lung device had my client been convicted or entered into a guilty plea (greater that .150).
