What We Can Do to Protect Your Rights and Your Freedom

With 13 years of experience as a drunk driving defense lawyer, attorney David Cook knows how to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case and how to build a smart, solid defense. Attorney Cook will thoroughly evaluate the evidence gathered at the administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing, the arrest videotape and the police report. He will work closely with you to map out the most effective strategy in your case, including challenging the reason for the arrest, the actions of the arresting officer, and the reliability and results of any field sobriety or blood alcohol content (BAC) test.

If conviction cannot be avoided, we can argue for probation or a no-jail sentence such as the Labor Detail program in Tarrant County, which allows people to work off their time instead of sitting behind bars.
