The Butler Law Firm Announces DWI Accreditation

The Butler Law Firm, based in Houston, TX, is proud to announce that they are now a DWI accredited law firm through the DUIDLA, meaning they have DWI attorney certification. There are only a handful of law firms in the entire nation that have passed this certification and have been accredited to specialize in DWI defense. Jim Butler, of the Butler Law Firm, is one of them. With over 24 years of service specializing in solely DWI cases, the firm now truly is the go-to for all DWI needs. Additionally, they now cater for payment plans as the firm cares about clients and goes above and beyond to meet their needs.

Attorney Jim Butler says: "Being certified by the DUIDLA has been a real honor. I have worked very hard to earn the certification because I believe my clients deserve the best possible representation so that a simple mistake, be that on their part or on the part of the law, does not cost them a lot of damage and suffering. I focus solely on DWI/DUI cases and offer my full time and expertise to each case I take on."

Jim Butler has worked as a Houston DWI lawyer for the past 24 years. During that time, he has helped many individuals avoid jail time, enabling them to keep their jobs and to spare their families from both financial and mental suffering. He works only on DUI cases, and while he will never endorse driving under the influence, he believes that many arrests are unnecessary. Indeed, it is this belief that has made him so passionate about his work. He says: "Many people don't realize that it's perfectly legal for an adult in Texas to drink alcohol and drive, as long as that adult maintains his or her mental and physical faculties. And the problem with most field sobriety tests is that they don't give you the whole picture. If people are nervous or tired, or if they have a medical condition, they might 'fail' a sobriety test, even if they're not intoxicated."

A DWI charge is a very serious one that can have substantial consequences. This is why it is so important that those who are charged seek experienced legal representation. Jim Butler's DUIDLA certification guarantees that he can offer this kind of representation. Without legal help, the accused could face the possibility of their license being suspended or revoked, family problems, loss of job, and even jail time. Jim Butler is committed to making sure that the consequences people suffer as a result of their arrest are not as negative as possible by helping them to navigate the complex legal system and by ensuring that their rights are protected.

The law firm is incredibly experienced at finding people a positive outcome throughout the complex legal process that is a DWI/DUI arrest. Those who have had to use their service have been very satisfied with their experience and have left great reviews for the firm. Keith T., for instance, says on the firm's Google Maps page: "When I got my DWI and I googled lawyers, Jim's name came up first. I am very glad it did. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Jim & Christin did a wonderful job of helping me through this very bad time in my life. Oh yes. Case dismissed. Yes I am thankful for finding Jim Butlers law firm. You couldn't ask for better people on your side."

Jim Butler is also committed to being an educational resource for those in Houston and the surrounding area. For instance, blood alcohol level does not always have to measure at least 0.08 in order to be charged, as police officers may also use their observation to make this determination. The attorney explains: "If you are swerving a vehicle, driving across two lanes, nearly having a collision, erratically braking, missing stop signs, being overly cautious, taking turns too narrowly or widely, or drifting, then an officer may charge you with a DWI/DUI even if your blood alcohol level does not reach 0.08."

Those who are charged with a DWI could lose their license for 90 days to two years. Refusing to take part in a breath test as a commercial driver can lead to the commercial driver status being revoked for a year. A suspension notice may be provided by the arresting officer. This also requires immediate legal help, which the Butler Law Firm can provide. They will then review the entire process to determine that the law was followed and take appropriate action to minimize the consequences of the arrest. Jim Butler is 100 percent committed to ensuring that his clients get the best possible representation.
