Mimi’s Love for the field of DWI Defense is infectious:

• Since 1999, she involves herself in teaching DWI Defense to other lawyers across Texas and the country. As a result, she started by organizing a DWI seminar for Tarrant County, which led to her own seminar company dedicated to teaching lawyers about DWI’s, Cowtown CLE. This, in turn, led her to nonprofit seminar work for TCDLA and the NCDD.

The Coffey Firm strives to emphasize the human element in criminal defense just as much as the legal side. Thus, we at The Coffey Firm strive to help our clients regain their sense of self, purpose and confidence. Few things are more terrifying than an arrest. We are here to help, not judge. No one should feel embarrassed or ashamed.  It’s not how many times we fall that defines us, but how many times we pick ourselves up and move forward.

Texas DWI Law and the Texas DWI Process is very scary and confusing for anyone who is arrested for a DWI. Mimi and her staff are here to help. Everyone makes mistakes.  A DWI arrest (or for any crime) is traumatizing. The process is scary, worrisome, and embarrassing. Who hasn’t had a social drink and gotten behind the wheel? Most of us have.  The Coffey Firm commits itself to doing the best it can to help those accused of DWI.
