DWI Trial Experience — Houston DWI Attorney

Most DWI cases in Harris County end in plea deals. Many attorneys never intend to do anything else. They take high volumes of cases, negotiate quick pleas, and move on to the next client.

Attorney Kenneth V. Mitchell takes a fundamentally different approach. Every DWI case at KVM Law Firm is prepared with the assumption that it may need to go to trial. That preparation creates leverage whether the case is resolved through negotiation or argued before a judge or jury.

If your case deserves to be fought, Kenneth is not afraid to fight it.

A Trial Attorney Who Knows Both Sides

Kenneth Mitchell spent 13 years in law enforcement before becoming a defense attorney. He worked in the Hit and Run and Vehicular Crimes Division, conducted DWI investigations, administered standardized field sobriety tests, and holds a Master Peace Officer License from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE).

That means he has personally done the work that officers testify about at trial. He knows when an officer’s testimony does not match proper procedure. He knows where field sobriety tests are commonly administered incorrectly. He knows what the dashcam and bodycam footage should show — and what it often does not.

Kenneth has also completed hands-on training in gas chromatography — the primary method used to test blood samples in Texas DWI cases. He can challenge the science behind blood test results, including sample collection, storage, chain of custody, and instrument calibration.

What Gets Challenged at Trial

When a DWI case goes to trial, the State must prove every element of its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Kenneth focuses on exposing weaknesses in the evidence, including whether the officer had legal justification for the traffic stop, whether field sobriety tests were properly administered and accurately interpreted, whether the breath or blood testing followed required scientific protocols, whether the officer’s testimony is consistent with the video evidence, and whether constitutional rights were violated during the investigation or arrest.

A plea deal is not always in your best interest. When the evidence has problems, those problems deserve to be exposed in court.
