Increased DWI Cases

The pandemic has created new social issues.   People stay at home more, congregate with friends at smaller events, and very often this involves drinking alcohol or smoking marijuana or both.

Sadly, these events are leading to more DWI arrests, more violent crimes and more intoxication manslaughter cases.  In the past two weeks, our office has been hired on two intoxication manslaughter cases that have already made the news.   It is unfortunate that people are involved in car wrecks when they have been drinking.  It is even more horrific when the deceased or injured person is a spouse, relative, or dear friend sitting in the passenger seat.   

It is always best not to drink and drive.   But these cases do  have legitimate legal defenses and hiring a seasoned trial lawyer can be the difference between going to prison for 20 years or going free.  Successfully representing people accused of all types of crimes made Demetrio Duarte, Jr. a Texas Super Lawyer.  The attorneys at Duarte and Molina are ready to defend any individual who is facing serious consequences after making a mistake.
