You need a good criminal defense lawyer on your side who will fight to protect your rights.

When you have been charged with driving while intoxicated with a child passenger under the age of 15 in Houston, Texas the best lawyer for you is an attorney who practices in criminal law. I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer, with over 15 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor. I have worked on a wide range of criminal cases as both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney. If there's one thing that I have learned over the years, it is that anyone can make a mistake, and mistakes have the potential to change a person's life forever. I do not believe that your future should be lost because of a single error in judgment.

If you have been arrested in Houston for driving while intoxicated with a child passenger under the age of 15, then you should know that in Texas, even if it is your first DWI offense, you will be charged with a State Jail Felony which is punishable by not less than 6 months and up to 2 years in State Jail, and/or a $10,000.00 fine, or probation for as long as 5 years, and a mandatory driver's license suspension.

At the law office of Mark A.
