Trey Porter Law defends drivers charged with Driving While Intoxicated in the Travis County criminal courts. Austin DWI lawyer Trey Porter has more than 15 years of experience and serves as lead counsel on every case the firm takes here.
The team has won acquittals at trial and secured dismissals in cases built on breath tests, blood draws, refusals, and crashes. Porter is an NHTSA-certified practitioner in standardized field sobriety testing and has studied gas chromatography and the Intoxilyzer 9000.
The firm also handles ALR license hearings and occupational driver's license petitions alongside the criminal charge. More than 900 five-star reviews back that record.
