Felony DWI Reduced - Misdemeanor

Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys

At Blizzard and Zimmerman, we’re dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for our clients - even in tough cases. Here’s a powerful example of how our experience in DWI and criminal defense helped change a client’s future.

Felony DWI to misdemeanor

Case Overview

Our client was facing a felony DWI charge due to two prior convictions - an offense that typically carries mandatory jail time in Texas.

Through strategic advocacy, we secured a reduction of the charge to a misdemeanor, resulting in just one year of probation and no incarceration.

Case Results

How We Did It

Strategic Defense by Attorney Jacob Blizzard
Mr. Blizzard challenged the prosecution’s assumptions by emphasizing key factors:

  • The significant age of the client’s prior DWI convictions
  • A borderline blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of arrest

By presenting these points persuasively, Mr. Blizzard convinced the prosecution to treat the case as a first-time DWI - an approach that rarely occurs in repeat offense cases. The result: a reduced charge and no jail time.

Why It Worked

In-Depth Legal Knowledge: Mr. Blizzard’s expertise in DWI law allowed him to identify and capitalize on details others may have missed.

Strong, Strategic Advocacy: His arguments challenged standard sentencing assumptions and reshaped the case narrative.
