Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charges aren’t just about courtrooms, defense strategies, and potential penalties. They’re also about understanding the human element behind the wheel—what led to that moment, and how one can redeem themselves thereafter.

You may wonder why we would venture into discussing rehabilitation. Comprehensive legal representation is about protecting rights, yes, but also about guiding our clients towards a brighter future. At Tad Nelson & Associates, we appreciate developing health relationships with our clients that has benefits which extend beyond legal representation.

That’s the kind of law firm we are.

Because The State Thinks It Cares

Per the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, every individual has a right to legal representation and a fair trial. Aside from legal proceedings, Texas also acknowledges the importance of addressing the root of the issue—often alcohol dependence or misuse.

Embracing Alcohol Counseling

The court may order mandatory alcohol counseling for those convicted of DWI. But it’s not just about ticking off a box. Counseling can be the first step to addressing underlying issues. With experienced counselors conducting sessions tailored to your individual needs, you can easily complete your journey to sobriety if that’s what you want.

Rehabilitation Programs

While counseling addresses the mental facets of alcohol dependence, rehabilitation centers offer a more comprehensive solution.

These facilities aim to help individuals regain control of their lives, away from the shadow of alcohol. Participation not only showcases a genuine commitment to turning over a new leaf but can also help your case by demonstrating a proactive approach to responsibility.

If you need advice on the best way to go about addressing a DWI charge, contact our law firm. We’re usually able to help people who reach out to us early on in the case, but it doesn’t mean we can’t take over if you’re replacing ineffective counsel.
