After wining a DWI trial  today I am really thankful that I have the opportunity to prove my clients innocence.  I am continually surprised to learn that many states do not provide this opportunity for those accused of DWI.

The new year has brought many changes at the courthouse. As criminal defense attorneys in Houston we must take a wait and see approach. The new District Attorney Pat Lykos will undoubtedly bring changes that will effect how prosecutors deal with certain cases. There could be more or less freedom to negotiate. Time will tell and we will adjust accordingly.

Eight new judges have taken the bench in felony district courts. It was pleasant suprise to walk into newly elected Judge Randy Roll's courtroom, the 179th District Court, at 9:30 and see that business is being conducted at that hour. The prior judge in this court, Judge Michael Wilkinson was fair and a nice person, but court normally didn't get started until after 11:00. Clients had to be to court on time and sit and wait. While most courts were wrapping up around noon, the 179th was just getting started. The new change under Judge Roll is encouraging and welcome.
