DWI Appeals
Being convicted of a DWI stays on your record, and it can mean losing your license, being fined, and/or spending time in jail. If you think you’ve been wrongly convicted of a DWI, you can appeal the conviction – it’s not set in stone. If you were convicted of a felony DWI, intoxicated assault, or intoxicated manslaughter, appealing your DWI becomes even more important to avoid the heavy penalties attached.
What Is a DWI Appeal?
A DWI appeal is not a retrial. Instead, during the appeal, the facts of the case are re-examined. If you went to trial, you can appeal, but if you accepted a plea bargain, you may not be able to appeal the conviction. No matter what situation you’re in, an experienced Houston DWI attorney can help you make the right decision.
