The Texas Law Firm of DWI Defense Attorney Tad A. Nelson & Associates Providing Aggressive and Effective Legal Defense for Galveston Residents Accused of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)

DWI cases can be staggering in their complexity, commonly involving serious Constitutional Law issues. In order to effectively handle DWI cases, a criminal defense lawyer must have a solid background in anatomy, biology, chemistry, physiology, and toxicology, and an intimate understanding of the function and operation of the various testing instruments and procedures used by hospital and laboratories in measuring alcohol and/or other drugs in the human body.

As a Criminal Law Specialist certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Attorney Tad A. Nelson has over 15 years of courtroom experience, and as a former Deputy District Attorney of Galveston County, he knows the criminal justice system inside and out. He has handled literally hundreds of DWI cases, some by way of negotiated plea bargain agreements, and others in trials before juries in  League City,  Clear Lake, Galveston, Houston, Harris and Brazoria Counties, and throughout the State of Texas. A member of the National College for DUI Defense and a nationally recognized expert in the area of DWI defense, Mr. Nelson has dedicated himself to fight for the justice and fair treatment of those accused of drunk driving as it relates to the following areas:

• Driving While Intoxicated (Alcohol)
• Driving While Intoxicated (Drugs or Prescription Medication)
• Intoxicated Assault
• Intoxicated Manslaughter
• DWI with a Child Passenger
• Driving While License Suspended (DWLS)

DWI charges are the most common criminal charges filed against individuals in the State of Texas. Even for a first offense, the penalties can include license suspension, substantial fines, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV approved alcohol program and mandatory overnight jail time. In addition, a DWI conviction stays on your DMV record for at least 7 years and typically results in higher insurance premiums. Further, you may become ineligible for credit and the conviction may jeopardize your employment. If you have been charged with a DWI offense, you will need experienced and aggressive representation by a skilled Texas DWI attorney who will not only inform you of your rights, but will fight for your exoneration.

"We understand the trauma that accompanies being arrested. We understand most people have never had to get a friend or a loved one out of jail, and people do not know what to do in that situation. We also realize the stress and anxiety associated with that first visit to an attorney's office. At Tad A. Nelson & Associates, we do all we can to make a prospective client feel both comfortable and confident. And we do our best to alleviate any stress you may have about the uncertainty of the criminal judicial system."
