Fourth Offense DWI Lawyer Representing Walker County

Experienced DWI Defense Attorney

A fourth offense DWI in Walker County, Texas will have a number of lasting negative effects. This includes criminal penalties (jail time, fines, community service and probation) as well as driver’s license suspension, increased insurance costs, the inability to get an occupational driver’s license, an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle and a felony DWI conviction on your criminal record. The effects this can have upon one’s reputation and ability to get employment are also drastic.
