Retain an experienced DUI/DWI lawyer to take on your case

One of the most complex and specialized fields of law, DUI and DWI cases are extremely stressful for the accused. For many, a fun night out with friends can end in a jail cell, and when that happens it is imperative that you get in contact with an attorney that has the expertise you need. With the Law Office of Jim Squyres, you'll have an expert on your side. Our Lufkin, TX DUI attorney can help get your side of the story across, and we will fight with all of our resources to defend you in court.

Jim has been designated as a DWI trial warrior by the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

What is the difference between DUI and DWI?

Under the Texas Traffic Code, DUI (Driving under the Influence) applies to any minor caught driving with alcohol in their system. A minor can be charged with a DUI even if they are below the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content. Consequences for this charge can include fines up to $500, awareness classes, suspension of the offender's license, and also community service.

A DWI (Driving while Intoxicated), on the other hand, is a much more serious offense. One can be charged with DWI if found driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 or greater, as well as driving under the influence of illicit drugs.

We can help minimize the damage

Penalties widely range on this offense, and it is crucial to get an attorney on your side that can minimize possible fines and jail time. Those who face the court system on their own almost always get hit with the maximum fines, have their license suspended much longer, and do more jail time on average.
