Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case. Each case depends on its own facts, the applicable law, and the discretion of the prosecutors and courts involved.
DWI attorney fees at the Law Office of David D. White, PLLC start at $5,000 for a first-offense Class B misdemeanor DWI. Second-offense DWI fees and felony DWI fees are higher and depend on the specific charges. The firm uses flat-fee arrangements so clients know their total cost upfront before any work begins. Call 512-369-3737 for a free consultation and an exact quote for your case.

The firm handles criminal defense cases throughout Central Texas, including Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bell, Burnet, Gillespie, Blanco, Bastrop, and Caldwell counties. Federal cases are handled in the Western District of Texas. Call 512-369-3737 if you have a case in a county not listed — the firm can advise whether it handles cases there.
An Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing is a civil proceeding before the Texas Department of Public Safety — separate from your criminal DWI case — that determines whether your driver’s license will be suspended. You have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an ALR hearing or your license is automatically suspended. The Law Office of David D. White, PLLC handles ALR hearings and can request the hearing on your behalf if you retain the firm promptly after arrest.
A DWI conviction generally cannot be expunged in Texas. However, if your DWI charge was dismissed, you were acquitted at trial, or you completed a deferred adjudication (available only for first-offense Class B DWI in limited circumstances), you may be eligible for expunction or a nondisclosure order. Every case is different — contact the firm to evaluate your eligibility.
An expunction destroys the arrest records and allows you to deny the arrest ever occurred. A petition for nondisclosure seals the record from public view but does not destroy it — certain government agencies can still access it. Eligibility rules differ for each remedy. The firm can advise which option, if any, applies to your record.
When you call 512-369-3737, an attorney answers — day or night. Taylor Kacir or Kenneth Hines will pick up after hours for arrests and urgent matters. You will speak directly with a licensed criminal defense attorney, not a voicemail or answering service. The firm also accepts messages through the contact form on this website.
The questions above cover the most common topics, but every criminal case is unique. Call the Law Office of David D. White, PLLC for a free consultation, or use the contact form on this site. An attorney will respond promptly to discuss your specific situation.

Strongly Recommend David White
I called David last August after my daughter got a minor in possession while away in college. My wife & I were terrified that this mistake might cost our daughter dearly. Luckily for us, we found David to take care of this for us. He walked us through the process during the initial free consultation. Several months later the case was dismissed and ultimately expunged. We cannot thank David enough for all his help in protecting our daughters future!
