  If you are convicted or plead guilty to a DWI, you are not eligible for deferred adjudication. However, if the DWI is reduced to a non-DWI offense such as reckless driving, deferred adjudication may be an option.
• Misdemeanors
  An arrest for DWI can lead to suspension of your driver’s license under two circumstances 1) ALR suspension as a result of refusing to take or failing a breath/blood test; 2) consequence of criminal conviction for DWI. If you drive while your license is under suspension, you may be charged with Driving While License Suspended, a misdemeanor. If you do so while on probation for your DWI offense, you risk having your probation revoked.

Business and Corporate Law

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  If you are unable to work out a payment plan directly with your lender, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to keep your car. Once a bankruptcy is filed, your creditors must stop all collection activity against you, including repossession. You can pay for your car two ways in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy depending on your individual circumstances, including how much you owe on the car and its market value. 1) you can pay for the entire amount you owe on the car through the bankruptcy; or 2) you can pay only for the past due amount through the bankruptcy. If you pay only the past due amount through the bankruptcy, you must continue to pay your regular monthly car note to the lender.
• Foreclosure
  If you are having financial trouble, find it difficult to pay your bills each month, face losing your home to foreclosure or are threatened with repossession of your automobile, you may be a candidate for bankruptcy protection. Don't let embarrassment or fear stop you from asserting your legal rights. Bankruptcy laws exist to help good, hard-working, honest people through difficult and trying periods. An experienced bankruptcy attorney may be able to help restore your peace of mind.
