Criminal charges are taken very seriously in the State of Texas, and the criminal justice system is designed to obtain your conviction. Without an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side, it is common to find yourself in tough situations leading you to jail or prison. 

The legal process can be both, confusing and overwhelming which makes it super easy to make mistakes that can have severe consequences, and leave you in unwanted situations. So, what do you do? 

If arrested, the police will consider you guilty. One common mistake you are likely to make is explain yourself. Explaining yourself upon arrest is going to worsen your situation. But there is a reason behind it. Getting arrested is a high-stress situation to be in and you may be upset or bewildered. Hence, any explanation can contain errors and misstatements that will go against you and your defense. Also, at this point, nothing you say will change their mind. 

So, instead of explaining, ask to speak with a criminal defense attorney.

Police training in field sobriety tests

When law enforcement officers pull someone over on suspicion of drunk driving or DWI, they typically administer a battery of field sobriety tests (FST). However, they sometimes administer these tests incorrectly.

To better understand police procedures and processes, Grant Frankfurt completed policy academy training from Eastfield College and is certified in administering field sobriety tests. 

This assists in evaluating how the arresting officer or other officers administered your field sobriety tests (FST) and whether if it was conducted improperly while examining the entire DWI stop and arrest.
