Arrested for DWI in Harris County?
You have 15 days to save your license.
I'm Ruben Restrepo. My office answers the phone 8 a.m.–9 p.m. — a real person, not a menu — and if I'm in court, I call you back myself the same day. Hablo español.

The clock started the night you were arrested.
DAY 0
The arrest
If you gave a breath or blood sample over .08 — or refused — DPS moves to suspend your license automatically. Nobody tells you this at the jail.
BY DAY 15
ALR hearing request
You have 15 days from the arrest to request an Administrative License Revocation hearing. Miss it and the suspension happens without a fight.
FIRST 24 HOURS WITH ME
I file the request
Hire me and the ALR request goes in within one business day. Then we start on the case itself — the stop, the tests, the evidence.

ABOUT RUBEN
The card in your mailbox and the lawyer on your case are the same person.
I've been defending DWI cases in Harris County and the surrounding counties since 2019 — hundreds of dismissals, most of them first-offense cases the client assumed were unwinnable. I don't hand cases to associates and I don't hide behind a firm name. If you got my flyer, you already know what a conviction costs. This is what a dismissal costs: one phone call.

What working with me looks like
1. One lawyer, start to finish
My staff answers the phone so nothing is missed while I'm in court. But the case is mine — I'm the one in the courtroom, not an associate you've never met.
2. ALR request filed in one business day
Your license is the first fire. I put it out before we do anything else.
3. Flat fee. Payment plans. No surprises.
One number for the whole case, agreed before we start. Down payment, then monthly.
4. En español, sin intérprete
Your case, explained to you and your family in your language — by me, not by a translator.

Sending this doesn't make me your lawyer yet — it just lets me call you back. Don't include details about the night of the arrest here; save those for our call.
