Texas Suspended License Hearings

To understand the facts regarding a possible or actual license suspension following your drunk-driving arrest anywhere in Texas, contact the law office of Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, in Houston. We are former chief prosecutors and assistant district attorneys who are devoted to protecting the constitutional rights and driving privileges of our DWI DUI defense clients.

Avoid License Suspension

Let our experienced Texas license revocation defense lawyers begin the process of advocating on your behalf if you are facing the terrible specter of a driver's license suspension.

There are very few privileges that people enjoy more than the right to drive an automobile. In big cities like Houston, transportation is vital for people who commute long distances to work every day. Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, may be able to help you avoid license suspension.

You Need Intelligent Attorney Representation

The laws regarding license suspensions are getting tougher every year. Currently, your license is subject to a suspension if you refuse a breath test or fail the breath test. A judge has the ability to suspend for greater or lesser periods as the occasion dictates. You need an attorney who has the ability to communicate your position clearly to the judge.

Lost Your Card? Your Driver's License Privileges May Still Be Preserved

Keep in mind that simply because you have been informed by your arresting officer that your license will be suspended, that does not make it so even if he took your driver's license card. You have the right to a hearing with the State Office of Administrative Hearings.

We Defend You Aggressively at DMV Administrative (ALR) Hearings

At Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, in every case we handle, we attend our clients' Houston license suspension hearings. There, DPS (Department of Public Safety) is required to prove the officer who stopped you had probable cause to believe that you were driving while intoxicated. Were you given the necessary warnings prior to being offered a breath test? In some cases your lawyer can effectively argue that the officer didn't have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, thereby negating all evidence obtained later.

We Can Help You Obtain an Occupational License to Get to Work

In the event that we believe that your license was unjustly taken away we will appeal the decision, and fight your license revocation. We do all that is necessary to prevent DPS from taking away your license. If you do lose your license, however, contact us to speak with a Houston DWI lawyer and learn how we can help you get an occupational (essential needs) or work license and fulfill alcohol counseling or ignition interlock device requirements.
