Welcome to the law office of mimi coffey - fort worth, texas - dwi criminal defense attorney. If you have found my web site, it is very possible that you are going through a very traumatic time in your life.
You have already been subject to the humiliation of roadside field sobriety tests, been handcuffed and arrested (of which many of you have never gone through this before or ever imagined it could happen to you), been locked in jail like a "criminal" and moreover; had to face your family, and or friends with the accompanying embarrassment and sting associated with an arrest.
My job as a criminal defense attorney, is to ensure that justice is done: to remind you and all those involved in the process that you are a "citizen accused" and to hold the state to its burden- guilt beyond a reasonable doubt- not one based on the unpopularity of an offense.
It is to fight passionately when One of us is charged in the wrong. It is to thoroughly and carefully examine all the evidence and explain the law and processes fully to you, my clients.
Dwi is a highly technical field among law enforcement. Officers are encouraged to obtain nhtsa practitioner certification in standardized field sobriety testing. The texas department of public safety must certify breath test technical operators in order to be able to operate the intoxilyzer 5000 in addition to additional training and requirements for breath test technical supervisors.
It is my firm belief that the intricacies of dwi have surpassed the basic knowledge of a "general practitioner." that is why the law office of mimi coffey - criminal defense trial attorney - is proud to be dedicated to the focus of dwi and dwi related matters in this pursuit of continued research and training in this ever changing and scientifically explosive field.
Dwi is unique to texas in that it is one of the few criminal offenses that involve serious simultaneous civil penalties: that being the administrative driver's license suspension. It is the practice of the law office of mimi coffey to inform, educate and provide for all necessary aspects of the dwi representation that the client chooses from the bail bond, alr hearing, occupational license, plea bargain or jury trial.
Did you know - your texas license maybe at risk of being suspended. That’s right! Your license suspension is automatic. But, if you request a hearing on the issue, in writing and within 15 days after receiving your notice of suspension from the police officer, no action will be taken regarding suspension until after the hearing and all appeals have occurred. If you do not request a hearing the suspension will automatically begin on the 40th day after you received your notice.
