Call (713) 885-9787 NowYour DWI attorney makes the difference between a conviction that follows you for life and a charge that gets dismissed or reduced. Here is why Houston clients choose Orange Law.
From the moment you call, we begin building your defense. We examine every detail — the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, breathalyzer calibration, blood draw procedures — for weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Breathalyzer and blood test results are not infallible. We scrutinize calibration records, testing protocols, and chain of custody — and when law enforcement cuts corners, we challenge the evidence.
DWI arrests do not happen on a schedule. Attorney Karan Joshi is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us the moment you are released — early intervention gives you the best possible outcome.
We know the Harris County courts, the prosecutors, and the judges who hear DWI cases. That local knowledge translates into strategic advantages that out-of-town or high-volume firms simply cannot offer.
We handle everything — your administrative license suspension hearing (ALR), pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, and trial if necessary. One attorney. Full commitment. No case handed off to a junior associate.
We tell you exactly where your case stands, what your realistic options are, and what to expect at each stage. No false promises — just honest counsel and aggressive advocacy.
Under Texas law, Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) means operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. You are legally intoxicated if you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or above — or if alcohol or drugs have impaired your mental or physical faculties, regardless of your BAC.
Texas takes DWI seriously. Even a first-offense DWI is a Class B misdemeanor that carries real criminal penalties — fines, jail time, license suspension, and a permanent criminal record. Commercial drivers face even stricter standards, with a legal limit of .04 BAC.
What many people do not realise is that a DWI charge does not automatically mean a conviction. The state must prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt — and there are often significant challenges available to an experienced defense attorney who knows where to look.
Get a Free Case EvaluationPenalties shown are statutory maximums. Additional DPS surcharges and annual fees apply. An attorney can often negotiate significantly reduced penalties.
Every DWI case is different. Here is the systematic approach we take to build the strongest possible defense for every client.
We obtain and review every piece of evidence — dashcam footage, body camera video, police reports, breathalyzer maintenance records, and witness statements. We find what the prosecution hopes you will never see.
We immediately request your Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing to fight your license suspension — independent of the criminal case. Miss the 15-day deadline and your license is automatically suspended.
We file motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, challenge improper traffic stops, and contest breathalyzer and blood test results. Winning pre-trial motions can result in charges being reduced or dismissed entirely.
If a favorable plea is available, we negotiate from a position of strength. If the case goes to trial, we are ready — and we try every case as though the verdict is what matters most, because it is.
Orange Law defends clients against the full range of DWI and intoxication-related charges in Houston and throughout Harris County.
A first DWI is still a criminal conviction that stays on your record permanently. We fight to have charges reduced or dismissed — preserving your record and protecting your future employment.
A second DWI is a Class A misdemeanor with significantly harsher penalties. With a prior conviction, the prosecution will push harder — and so will we.
A third or subsequent DWI is a third-degree felony in Texas. Prison time is a real possibility. We treat every felony DWI case with the aggressive defense strategy it demands.
Having a passenger under 15 years old in the vehicle elevates a DWI to a state jail felony. This charge carries enhanced penalties and requires immediate experienced legal action.
If someone was seriously injured in a DWI accident, you face a third-degree felony charge. The stakes are high — this is exactly when you need a trial attorney, not a plea-deal processor.
Texas has a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21. Any detectable alcohol is a violation. We work to protect young drivers from charges that could impact college admissions, scholarships, and employment.
A DWI charge is not the same as a DWI conviction. The state's case against you depends on evidence — and evidence can be challenged. Attorney Karan Joshi examines every aspect of your stop, arrest, and testing to find where the prosecution's case has weaknesses.
Many DWI cases are won before they ever reach a jury — through suppression motions, procedural challenges, and negotiations that result in reduced charges. The key is having an attorney who knows where to look and how to use what they find.
