EXTENSIVE DWI TRIAL
EXPERIENCE
In 2022, while still working as a prosecutor, Ty Cardenas Wittenstein was named ‘Mothers Against Drunk Driving “Outstanding DWI Prosecutor”’ in Central Texas. She was recognized for her extensive work in litigating DWI issues and her commitment to preventing senseless deaths on the Texas roads.
For 10 years, Ty’s law practice in Travis County has been heavily focused on mastering DWI laws and all that goes into a DWI arrest and prosecution. Ty has lived and breathed handling drunk driving cases; dealing with hundreds of simple to fascinatingly complex DWI trial issues. She is extremely familiar with police training and field sobriety tests, the science of breath and blood alcohol concentration toxicology, the cross-examinations of State’s expert witnesses, the jury selection process for each unique DWI case fact pattern.
Ty will know exactly what the prosecutors will think of the strength of any DWI case. If there is a weakness in the State’s case, Ty will find it. And she will fight it.
