Services We Offer
Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys provide comprehensive DWI defense services in Abilene and beyond, including:
Aggressive DWI and DUI Defense: We challenge the evidence and fight to have your charges reduced or dismissed.
Challenging Breath and Blood Tests: We scrutinize the accuracy and legality of toxicology tests to safeguard your rights.
First-Time DWII: A first-time DWI charge can be overwhelming, but an experienced defense attorney can help minimize penalties and protect your record.
Felony DWI: A DWI becomes a felony when aggravating factors are present, such as repeat offenses or serious injury - resulting in harsh penalties including prison time.
Underage DWI: Texas has zero tolerance for underage drinking and driving, meaning even a small amount of alcohol can lead to criminal charges and license suspension.
DWI with Injury: When a DWI results in injury to another person, the charges and consequences are significantly more severe, potentially including felony charges and civil liability.
Out-of-State DWI: An out-of-state DWI can affect your Texas driving privileges and result in complex legal challenges requiring coordinated defense across jurisdictions.
DWI and Drugs: Driving under the influence of drugs - whether prescription, over-the-counter, or illegal - can lead to a DUI charge just like alcohol and carries serious penalties.
Commercial Driver DWI: Commercial drivers face stricter DUI standards and may lose their livelihood after a conviction, making strong legal representation critical.
DMV Hearings / License Suspension: After a DWI arrest, you must act quickly to request a DMV hearing to fight automatic license suspension and protect your driving privileges.
