Quick answer: DWI defense in Hays County typically runs from a few thousand dollars for a straightforward first offense to five figures for felony or trial-bound cases. We publish flat fees — ALR hearing and trial fee included, interest-free financing available — so you know the exact number before hiring.
Cost drivers: charge level, blood versus breath evidence, aggravating facts, priors. Flat fees convert those variables from your risk into ours — one number, everything included through the listed scope. Criminal defense representation in Travis, Hays, Williamson, Bexar, and Bastrop counties is provided by Stephen T. Bowling, DWI & Criminal Defense Attorneys.
Measure defense cost against conviction cost — license suspension and interlock, years of insurance surcharges, a permanent record, lifetime enhancement exposure — and the math favors the defense at every level. Current fees are published on our Hays County DWI page; the consultation that quotes yours is free, 24/7.
