All Cases & People are Different

At The Law Offices of Nelson & Associates, we understand that the typical defendant is quite different from other types of criminally accused clients. Most our clients quite often are citizens that have gone their entire life without any negative contact with law enforcement and some have never even had a traffic ticket. Attorney Tad Nelson understands the unpleasant feeling a person gets when they are arrested, criminal charged and handled like a convict by police officers.

The process of being arrested, taken to jail, photographed and fingerprinted can be humiliating. Houston DWI attorney Mr. Nelson respects this anxiety; He respects your concerns and fears for your career and family. The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates is a small town law firm with offices in Houston, League City, and Galveston whose crusade is not only defending you against the State’s charges, but also to assist you and your family in coping with the problems that accompany a criminal charge.

Experienced, Dynamic Defense Lawyers

Attorney Tad Nelson and our Houston area criminal defense team at The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates has extensive experience defending people accused of drunk or impaired driving. These include driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving under the influence (DUI), driving under the influence of drugs, intoxication assault, and intoxication manslaughter (formerly referred to as involuntary manslaughter).

DWI litigation is one of the most complex areas of Texas criminal law. To successfully represent a person facing DWI related criminal charges requires extensive knowledge of the law and procedures.

In Texas, laws and intoxication detection techniques constantly change; accordingly, the legal team at Tad Nelson & Associates attends the most aggressive and instructive training seminars being administered, regardless of the location nationally. Being an effective Houston DWI lawyer also requires a local knowledge of the Houston (Harris County) area courts and having an understanding of the expectations of the judges.
