Nationally Renowned DUI and DWI Defense

Intoxication offenses are among the most heavily litigated and technically complex crimes in the Texas Penal Code. Following an arrest, drivers have only fifteen days to challenge the administrative suspension of their driver license before the Texas Department of Public Safety. The dwi defense lawyers at The Coffey Firm act immediately to file for administrative license revocation hearings while launching independent investigations into the arrest. Whether defending a first-time misdemeanor charge, an underage drinking citation, an intoxication assault indictment, or a complex felony repeat DWI, the legal team prepares every case to win at trial.

Deconstructing Breath and Blood Alcohol Testing

Most defense lawyers lack the scientific training required to dismantle state forensic evidence. Founding attorney Mimi Coffey is a national author, CLE lecturer, and board-certified DWI specialist who understands the physical sciences behind alcohol absorption, breathalyzer maintenance logs, gas chromatography, and blood blood-draw procedures. The firm routinely exposes improper police testing protocols, contaminated blood vials, and calibration flaws in Intoxilyzer devices, achieving dismissals and acquittals where other attorneys see hopeless odds.
