DWI / DUI

Carabin Shaw Attorneys Have Over 50 Years of Combined Experience.

Even a first arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Texas has very serious penalties attached. For a first offense charged as a misdemeanor, you face probation, possible jail time, community service and the loss of your driver's license. Outside of court, you can expect immediate steep increases in your auto insurance -- if it's not cancelled outright. Ultimatley, if you're convicted of a DWI, the stigma of a criminal record can negatively affect your future employment opportunities

Carabin Shaw attorneys vigorously defend their clients who are charged with DWI and other alcohol-related driving offenses. We serve clients throughout the greater San Antonio area, including Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson, Atascosa, Kendall, Kerr and Medina Counties.

There is Hope!

Many people believe that there's no way to fight a DWI charge However, that's just not true. In order to convict you, the State must prove each and every element of their case beyond a reasonable doubt, even if there is a breath test. A smart group of experienced DWI lawyers like the attorneys at Carabin Shaw can dig into the facts of your case and find mistakes, omissions and legitimate factual disputes, including:

  • Mistakes and failure to follow procedures by law enforcement
  • Flaws and problems with the Breathalyzer or other BAC tests
  • No certification on BAC testing equipment for the law enforcement officer
  • Violations of your civil rights before, during and after the arrest
  • Many, many other possible defenses

These arguments and others can substantially weaken the State’s case , forcing prosecutors to drop the case or lower the charges. Carabin Shaw attorneys have the experience and legal expertise to win the most favorable outcome for your case. They can't assure you of a specific result for your case but you can be rest assured that Carabin Shaw attorneys are an elite group of experienced and skillful DWI lawyers.
