One bad stop in Dallas can start a license suspension before you've seen a judge

You blew into a tube, signed papers in the squad car, and drove home wondering if you still have a job on Monday. Now the court date is on the fridge and your insurance company is already asking questions. That tight feeling in your chest when you think about the ALR hearing? That's the 15-day clock running. Miss it and your license gets pulled automatically, even if the criminal case isn't done. You need someone who knows Dallas County DWI stops, not a lawyer reading from a script.

When you need legal help, you need a lawyer you can trust. That's exactly what I got with Spangler Law. From our very first consultation, they put my mind at ease, explaining complex legal jargon in terms I could understand.

Jim, once hired, got my fiancé out of jail as soon as he said he would. Well, even better, he got the charges dropped! Thanks, Jim, for following through and doing exactly what you said you would do!

Jim and his co-lawyer, Huma Yasin, are so learned and professional. Huma would keep me posted all the time and finally got my case dismissed successfully. She is friendly, hard-working, and dedicated to her clients.

Huma did an amazing job getting me the best outcome possible with the dismissal of my case. Very happy with your services and would recommend to anyone. If I need a lawyer again, I'll hire Spangler Law.

A Dallas DWI needs a lawyer who fights the license fight, not just the court date

A DWI in Texas hits you twice: the criminal case and the ALR hearing that can suspend your license before you've had your day in court. Miss a deadline or sign the wrong form and you're paying for an interlock and higher insurance long before a judge rules on guilt.

Hi, I'm Jim Spangler. I started as a public defender in Indiana and Dallas before building Spangler Law. Since 2014, my team and I have handled hundreds of DWI cases across Dallas County, from first arrests to felony intoxication charges.

We walk through your stop, breath or blood results, and every deadline on the calendar. You get plain English on your options, then we fight for dismissal, reduction, or the best outcome your facts support. Request a free case review and we'll call you back, usually within one business day.
