At Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, we pride ourselves on a personalized approach to every case we take on. For this client, we started by developing a clear strategy that addressed her immediate and long-term goals.

Step 1: Guiding the ODL Application Process

An Occupational Driver’s License is often a vital lifeline for those whose licenses are suspended due to DWI arrests or convictions. This type of license allows individuals to drive strictly for essential purposes, such as work, medical appointments, and daily necessities.

Time was of the essence, so we immediately helped our client understand the requirements, gather the necessary documentation, and file her ODL application. From court filings to ensuring compliance with Texas state procedures, we took every step to make the process seamless and efficient.

Step 2: Advocating Before the Courts

Securing an ODL isn’t just about paperwork; it often involves making a compelling case in court. Our experienced DWI attorney passionately represented our client during hearings, advocating both in the courtroom and during private discussions in chambers with the judge.

We carefully outlined the challenges our client faced, emphasizing her commitment to meeting all legal requirements while maintaining her employment and stability. By presenting her as someone taking accountability and proactively addressing her situation, we crafted a narrative that resonated with the court.

Step 3: Laying the Foundation for the Criminal Defense

While obtaining the ODL was a crucial step, we simultaneously turned our attention to the overarching issue - the 4th DWI charge. Our team worked diligently to build a defense strategy that would address the complexities of her case.

By focusing on the immediate need for driving privileges first, we helped stabilize her life, giving her the ability to focus on the broader legal proceedings without the added hardship of losing mobility.
