What Makes Us A Top Voted DWI Lawyers in Dallas County Texas?

One word: “Experience”. I have worked hard over the years ever since I became a criminal defense attorney. After 28+ years of practice, I am proud to represent my community and I believe that everyone is entitled to a strong defense when faced with the emotional stress and life-changing effects of a DWI, including inability to be qualified as an instructor for your child’s driver’s education. I am a DWI Attorney that is board certified in DWI Defense by the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD), which is a certification that is not easily or freely earned.

I have also been invited to be a legal analyst on many national news programs, which again shows how respected my experience is on a national level. The same can be said about teaching and speaking. I have been invited to speak and teach at multiple criminal defense conferences, but I especially pride myself constantly teaching my team of attorneys at the Coffey Firm. I hold myself and the rest of my firm to a very high standard.

MIMI COFFEY IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN DWI DEFENSE BY THE NCDD.

What is Board Certified? The National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) is an organization that certifies attorneys in DUI defense law. It is the only board certification in DWI Defense that the State Bar Board of Legal Certification accepts. Board certification from the NCDD is considered an important factor when hiring a DWI defense attorney in Texas. Board certified attorneys demonstrate a thorough understanding of DUI laws, evidence, and defense strategies.

Have you been arrested for DWI in the North Texas area? If so, there are a few critical things to look for when selecting a DWI defense attorney. One of the most important criteria is whether or not the attorney is Board Certified in DWI defense. The process of obtaining Board Certification is difficult and requires both skill and experience. This process means an attorney holding these certifications has proven their knowledge and experience in DWI defense law.

You have a right to refuse to perform the field sobriety tests. However, The U.S. Supreme Court does require you step out the vehicle.

The National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s standardized field sobriety tests have been subject to scientific peer review criticism? (for eg. Dr. Spurgeon Cole study, Dr. Steve Rubenzer paper)

Texas law requires submission of a margin of error for all blood tests?

There are all kinds of scientific issues and concerns with proper breath and blood testing?
