Houston DWI / DUI Defense Lawyers

A DWI Case Involves More Than a Test Result

A DWI investigation may begin with a traffic stop, welfare check, accident, or boating encounter and may involve field sobriety exercises, breath or blood testing, an alleged refusal, prescription medication, or illegal drugs. The resulting charge can range from a first-time misdemeanor to a serious felony involving a child passenger, injury, or death.

The criminal charge is only one part of the case. A DWI arrest can also trigger a separate driver’s license proceeding with its own deadlines, evidence, and potential consequences.

Denuna & Westbrook, PLLC examines every stage of the case, beginning with the reason for the initial encounter and continuing through the collection and interpretation of the evidence. Attorney Chris Denuna has completed advanced training in forensic toxicology through Axion Analytical Laboratories and earned the ACS Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation from the Chemistry and Law Division of the American Chemical Society. That scientific background, combined with the firm’s trial experience, allows us to challenge unsupported assumptions and build a defense directed to the charge, the evidence, and the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
