San Antonio Multiple DWI Attorney

Get an Aggressive Defense Against Your DWI Charges

When you are charged for a repeat DWI offense (or an offense of driving while intoxicated), you are facing an uphill battle. This is due to the fact that second or subsequent DWI charges, or multiple DWI, are punished more harshly than first-time DWI charges. Furthermore, prosecutors will usually try to use defendants’ previous DWI histories against them, claiming that there is already an indication that the driver engages in this type of behavior.

Considering these facts, it is vital that you have a strong San Antonio multiple DWI attorney on your side to help you ensure that your rights are being properly protected. This is exactly what I offer at the Law Office of Kerrisa Chelkowski. As a San Antonio multiple DWI lawyer who has also served as a prosecutor, I provide my clients with highly competitive legal representation!
