East Texas DWI Law Firm
If you have been arrested for a drunk driving offense, you may have the option to get a court-appointed attorney, or public defender, to represent your interests. Not everyone is eligible for a public defender; a judge will determine whether or not you are based on your ability to pay.
Also, a court-appointed attorney is not always free. You may have to pay for his or her services after the conclusion of your case, depending on the outcome, the severity of the charges and your financial means.

Is a Public Defender Right for You?
While I have the utmost respect for the court-appointed lawyer institution, I feel that people charged with DWI are better served by hiring an attorney.
Public defenders typically have high case loads and are paid minimally for their services. I keep a manageable case load so that I am able to devote my full time and attention to each and every client. As your DWI defense lawyer, you will have my individual attention from the first time you walk into my office or call me on the phone, until the conclusion of your case.
If the reason you are considering taking a court-appointed attorney is to save money, you may wish to consider the potential cost of a DWI conviction. In addition to any jail sentence you may receive, you will also have to pay thousands of dollars in fees, penalties and surcharges to reinstate and maintain your driver's license.
