Building Your Defense with a DWI Defense Attorney in Austin
A strong defense strategy is essential to fight DWI charges. Lance Kennedy will meticulously examine every aspect of your case to build the most effective defense possible. Here are some key areas he’ll focus on:
The Initial Stop
Was the traffic stop legal? Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to pull you over? If not, Lance could move to suppress any evidence gathered during the stop so that it’s not admissible in court.
Field Sobriety Assessments
Field sobriety tests are notoriously subjective and often inaccurate. Lance will scrutinize how officers administered and interpreted these tests.
Analyzing Chemical Tests
Breath and blood tests are not infallible. Lance will investigate if authorities properly calibrated and maintained the equipment and administered the test correctly.
Video Evidence Review
If the evidence is available, Lance will carefully review any dash cam or body cam footage to look for inconsistencies in the officer’s testimony or conduct.
Other Possible Defense Options for DWI Charges
Depending on your case, Lance might explore defenses such as:
- Rising BAC defense (your BAC was below the legal limit while driving but rose afterward)
- Medical conditions that could affect test results
- Improper police procedures
- Challenging the accuracy of field sobriety tests
- Arguing that observed symptoms were due to fatigue, stress, or a medical condition rather than intoxication

Frequently asked questions
-
Yes, but that refusal can lead to automatic license suspension under Texas’s implied consent laws.
-
Not necessarily. Lance can help you fight license suspension through the ALR process.
-
Potentially. Depending on the circumstances of your case, Lance may be able to negotiate for reduced charges or even dismissal.
-
In Texas, a DWI conviction typically stays on your record permanently unless you’re eligible for expungement or sealing.
-

-
Out-of-state DWIs can be complex. Lance can help you navigate both Texas law and potential consequences in your home state.
