Keeping Austin Drivers on the Road
A traffic ticket might seem like a minor annoyance, but in Texas, the consequences can quickly spiral out of control. The Law Office of Thomas Swain, located in downtown Austin, Texas, is dedicated to helping drivers protect their records, their licenses, and their livelihoods. Attorney Thomas Swain has been practicing since 2007, focusing his career on Traffic Ticket Defense and Criminal Law. Unlike general practitioners who dabble in traffic law, Mr. Swain has handled thousands of citations, giving him a deep familiarity with the specific judges and procedures in Austin Municipal Court and Justice of the Peace precincts. If you are looking to hire a lawyer to fight a speeding ticket or clear a warrant, this firm offers the specialized expertise needed to get results.
CDL and License Protection
For professional drivers, a clean record is a job requirement. The firm specializes in representing Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders, for whom a single moving violation can mean termination. Thomas Swain fights to keep violations off driving records through dismissals or deferred disposition. He also assists regular drivers with Occupational Driver’s Licenses (ODL), helping those with suspended licenses get back on the road legally to drive to work and school. If you have unpaid tickets that have gone to warrant, the firm can often post attorney bonds to lift the warrant and set a new court date, removing the immediate threat of arrest.
Criminal Defense Services
Beyond traffic violations, the Law Office of Thomas Swain provides robust representation for criminal charges, including DWI, Drug Possession, and Assault. Mr. Swain is known for his honest, straightforward communication style. He assesses each case individually, advising clients when to negotiate and when to go to trial. His goal is always to minimize the long-term impact of a charge. Located on Nueces Street, the firm is just blocks from the courthouse, allowing for quick action on jail releases and court appearances.
