The Houston DWI Lawyer

Jim Butler is one of the few attorneys in Houston whose focus is exclusively on DWI defense. During his more than 28 years as a DWI/DUI criminal defense attorney, Jim Butler has helped hundreds of clients avoid the jail time and hefty fines associated with these charges. He is a certified field sobriety test instructor and he remains up-to-date on all the new tools and methods used to evaluate DWI’s. Jim believes that DWI laws are good laws that should be enforced; however he also believes that many innocent people are needlessly arrested.

“Many people don’t realize that it’s perfectly legal for an adult in Texas to drink alcohol and drive—as long as that adult maintains his or her mental and physical faculties. And the problem with most field sobriety tests is that they don’t give you the whole picture—if a person is nervous or tired, or even if they have a medical condition, they might ‘fail’ a test, even if they’re not intoxicated,” he says.
