Aggressive DWI and Intoxication Offense Defense

A driving while intoxicated arrest in Texas triggers immediate administrative and criminal perils, including automatic license suspension and potential jail time. Spangler Law scrutinizes every phase of the traffic stop to dismantle the prosecution case:

• Challenging unlawful police stops, defective traffic detentions, and lack of reasonable suspicion
• Contesting standard field sobriety tests for improper officer administration and subjective grading
• Scrutinizing breathalyzer calibration logs and disputing Intoxilyzer 9000 test reliability
• Subpoenaing blood draw lab records, chain-of-custody documentation, and technician certifications
• Representing drivers at Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings to safeguard driving privileges
• Defending repeat DWI allegations, felony intoxication assault, and intoxication manslaughter charges

Domestic Violence and Violent Crime Defense

Allegations of family violence carry severe consequences, often resulting in sudden protective orders and loss of contact with loved ones. When individuals looking to find a lawyer who handles delicate family violence accusations with courtroom grit, the firm steps in immediately:

• Defending assault bodily injury against a family member and continuous violence against the family
• Challenging emergency protective orders (EPO) to allow clients back to their homes and families
• Exposing false allegations stemming from contentious divorce proceedings or child custody battles
• Defending aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, and manslaughter charges
• Uncovering favorable eyewitness statements, 911 audio recordings, and police body camera footage

Drug Offenses and Weapons Charge Defense

Texas enforces strict penalties for narcotics and unlawful firearm possession. The firm provides strategic defense against state and federal drug accusations:

• Defending possession of controlled substances including cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription pills
• Challenging unlawful warrantless vehicle searches and illegal home entries under the Fourth Amendment
• Fighting drug manufacturing and delivery allegations and conspiracy charges

Record Expunction and Non-Disclosure Orders
