Butler Law Firm Announces New Accreditation

The Butler Law Firm in Houston, Texas has announced that they are now DWI accredited. Their recent accreditation was presented by the DUIDLA and gives the firm attorney certification for DWIs. There are only a few law firms in the United States that can boast this certification and can legally specialize in defense of DWI.

Jim Butler, attorney with the firm, has more than 24 years of experience in dealing with DWI cases. Butler states, “It is truly an honor to have received DUIDLA certification. We believe that our clients deserve the best possible defense that they can get and that is exactly what we provide for them. By focusing solely on DWI cases, we can use this expertise to provide our clients with the best possible outcome of their cases.”

Butler has been defending DWI cases in Houston for nearly 25 years. He has represented many cases and helped thousands of individuals to avoid spending time in jail, allowing them to stay at home with their families and maintain their full-time jobs. Butler states that he only works on DWI cases and although he does not condone drinking and driving, he state that he believes that there have been many arrested and charged with DUI that are innocent of those charges. He states that it is his passion to help to keep these innocent people from spending time in jail.

“If someone is accused of a DWI but they are innocent, then our goal is to help them to fight those charges,” says Butler. “Many do not realize that it is legal to drink and drive in Texas, provided the driver still has complete control over their physical and mental faculties. The problem with many field sobriety tests today are that they do not give the entire picture. If someone is tired or nervous, as many are when facing these charges, they may easily fail the test, even when they are nowhere near being over the legal limit for drinking and driving.”

The Houston DWI lawyer says that a charge of driving under the influence is serious and that these charges can have life-changing consequences. He states that because of this, it is imperative that those accused seek legal representation immediately and that this representation should come from an attorney with experience in handling DWI cases. Butler’s certification from DUIDLA guarantees that his representation is experienced and competent. He says that without the right legal assistance, an innocent person could face losing their driving privileges, as well as hefty fines, jail time and the social stigma that comes along with being accused of driving under the influence.

The firm is experienced in helping the accused to reach a positive outcome by helping them to navigate the complex legal system. Those who have used the firm in the past agree that they have the experience and expertise needed to help them out of an otherwise impossible situation. Butler states that he is dedicated to providing more information for those in Houston about DUI. He says that BAC or blood alcohol content does not necessarily have to be at the legal limit in order for a driver to be charged. Things such as swerving the vehicle or crossing lanes can be enough for law enforcement to stop a vehicle and potentially charge the person with a DWI. Being charged and convicted of a DWI could result in the driver losing their license for anywhere from 90 days to two years. refusing a breath test, for commercial drivers, could lead to license revocation for up to one year. Butler says that because these penalties are so severe, those accused of a DUI should contact his firm immediately after being stopped to ensure that immediate action can be taken to potentially overturn those charges.
