JAMES MAKIN

(OF COUNSEL – BEAUMONT)

Attorney James Makin

Beaumont DWI attorney Gary Trichter, a DWI Specialist by the National College for DUI Defense, has been defending citizens accused of DWI throughout Texas since 1980 and when people need a Jefferson County DWI lawyer, he associates with Beaumont DWI attorney, James Makin, who is Trichter & LeGrand’s local lawyer in that area.

Form more than 20 years, Gary and James have worked together helping clients get favorable outcomes in their cases across both Jefferson County and Orange County. 

James is a capable litigator who handles all preliminary and non-contested court appearances, whereas Gary handles all the contested court proceedings. 

Both understand the traumatic impact a DWI arrest can have on a person’s life and career. 

When you appoint both Gary and James, you get both a board-certified DWI Specialist attorney by the NCDD (in Gary Trichter) and an experienced Beaumont DWI attorney.

Beaumont DWI ATTORNEY

You may have lost your driver license if you refused or failed the police breath or blood test. While you may have a temporary driving permit, you’ll soon be served notice that your license will be suspended unless you request an Administrative License Revocation or ALR hearing within 15 days of your arrest date. 

You’ll need a Jefferson County ALR attorney like James Makin and Gary Trichter (the same as your DWI lawyer) to request a hearing for you. Without a hearing, your license will be suspended soon after you’ve been served.

At the hearing,  your attorney will be able to preview evidence presented by the arresting officer  that will be used in your DWI case. Here, DPS must prove that the arresting officer had either reasonable suspicion or probable cause. 

If they can’t prove either, you win by default and you’ll avoid your license from being suspended. Be sure to hire your attorney prior to your ALR hearing so that you can be assured of building a stronger defense in your case.
