Interview with Aaronson Law Firm.  This episode will cover areas of practice the Aaronson Law Firm Covers.  Typical cases he practices.  CDL (Commercial Drivers License), DUI/DWI, Expunctions, Occupational Drivers License (ODL), Suspension Appeals, and Traffic Violations.Mr. Aaronson has proven to help CDL holders keep their licenses and stay on the road driving.  The Aaronson Law Firm defends hundreds of cases a year defending Commercial Drivers License holders.  If you need help with a DWI my firm specializes in this area as well. Like every other state, Texas makes it a crime to drink and drive. Under Chapter 49 of the Penal Code, it is unlawful to drive while intoxicated by either alcohol or drugs or a combination of both. This law applies not only to the operation of vehicles but to the operation of watercraft, such as boats or water skis, as well. Being arrested for DWI is a serious matter that can impact your life in numerous ways, from criminal penalties to increased auto insurance, the loss of your license, and a conviction on your criminal record. Many aspects of your arrest can be challenged to put a conviction in doubt. However, you will need a savvy and experienced attorney on your side who knows how to fight back. At Aaronson Law Firm, you can turn to an El Paso DUI/DWI attorney backed by more than 40 years of practice in defending clients of these charges. Our firm knows how vital it is to put an attorney on your case to help you seek optimum results. With our help, you may be able to have charges dropped or reduced or be found not guilty at trial. We know what to look for in uncovering errors and flaws in DUI/DWI cases and will provide 100 percent dedicated effort in defending you.Another area of practice is expungements.  It's an unfortunate fact that a criminal record can have severe repercussions on your future. Criminal records are easily accessible through online background checks by employers, landlords, educational institutions, professional licensing agencies, and anyone else who needs to inquire about you. This means that you will have to explain your criminal record and possibly be passed over in favor of another candidate or become ineligible for whatever opportunity you seek. This collateral damage can prevent you from pursuing your career of choice, gaining the job you want, or even renting an apartment.  Fortunately, Texas has established two different procedures that address this problem. However, they differ in what they can do and you must meet eligibility requirements to achieve them. These are expunctions (often referred to as expungements) and nondisclosure. At Aaronson Law Firm, our El Paso expunction and nondisclosure attorney can review your case to determine if you qualify for either procedure and, if you do, help you navigate the process.  Occupational Drivers License is another area of law I can help with.  Having your driver's license suspended or revoked is a definite hardship in today. With few public transportation options and those available being generally time-consuming and inconvenient, your ability to drive is a precious resource. If you have lost your license, however, you may be able to qualify for an occupational driver's license, also known as a “restricted” or “hardship” license. You will have to petition for this with the proper court where it will be ruled upon by a judge.   Call Today for a free consultation.Aaronson Law FirmAddress:  7362 Remcon Cir, El Paso, TX 79912Phone:  915-533-0110Website:  https://www.aaronsonlawtx.com/Social Media:  Facebook

This podcast features attorney Carl DeKoatz, an El Paso-based lawyer with over 13 years of experience. While his firm handles family law, probate, and estate planning, the discussion focuses primarily on his "bread and butter": Criminal Defense, specifically involving state and federal cases, DWIs, assault, and drug possession.State vs. Federal PracticeDeKoatz highlights a major distinction between the two systems:State Law: More flexible and relationship-based. Building rapport with prosecutors and judges in El Paso allows for more nuanced negotiations.Federal Law: More rigid and procedural. Success depends heavily on legal research, case law, and attacking the government's procedures.Assault and Family ViolenceDeKoatz notes that most assault cases involve domestic disputes (couples, roommates, or family members). Key insights include:The "Dropping Charges" Myth: DeKoatz clarifies that victims do not "press" or "drop" charges; it is always the State of Texas vs. the Defendant.Non-Prosecution Affidavits: While a victim's desire not to proceed helps in negotiations, the state may still prosecute if there is strong evidence like Ring camera footage or photos of injuries.Success Rates: Approximately 85% of his cases are resolved without a conviction, often through classes or deferred probation.Protective Orders: He warns clients to respect Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs) immediately after bonding out to avoid secondary charges for illegal contact.DWI Defense StrategyDrunk driving is a major focus of the firm. DeKoatz offers blunt advice for those pulled over:Avoid "Riding Dirty": Many DWIs start with "wonky" stops for expired registrations or broken tail lights. Keeping a car in good repair removes the officer's probable cause.The Golden Rule: If you've had even one drink, do not talk and do not take tests. * Accept the Arrest: He advises clients to accept they will be arrested rather than trying to "be a cool guy" and talk their way out of it. Refusing field sobriety and breathalyzer tests gives the defense a much stronger starting point to challenge a blood warrant later.Mitigation: For high BAC cases (0.15 or higher) or accidents, where "Pretrial Diversion" (PTD) is usually off the table, he uses character packets (letters from bosses, priests, etc.) to humanize the client and negotiate better deals.Drug Possession: The "Vape" FelonyA significant portion of the conversation covers the disparity in Texas drug laws regarding marijuana:Flower vs. Concentrates: While a small amount of leaf marijuana is a misdemeanor, THC vapes, cartridges, and edibles are classified as State Jail Felonies.The New Mexico Border: Many people are caught bringing legal products from New Mexico into Texas, unaware they are committing a felony.Juveniles: DeKoatz emphasizes protecting the records of students caught with vapes in schools, aiming for expunctions so a "one-off" mistake doesn't ruin their college or career prospects.The El Paso AdvantageDeKoatz concludes by emphasizing that in El Paso, reputation matters. Having practiced in the 34th Judicial District for over a decade, his ability to tell a prosecutor "what the case really is" carries weight because he has a proven track record of winning at trial when negotiations fail.Attorney: Carl Adrian DeKoatzFirm: Carl DeKoatz Law FirmAddress: 718 Myrtle Ave, El Paso, TX 79901Phone: (915) 577-0913Website: https://dekoatzlaw.com

Navigating the Texas Legal System: From CDL Protection to Clearing Your Criminal Record with Michael AaronsonIn this episode of Local Area Business Talk, we sit down for an in-depth conversation with Michael Aaronson, the founding attorney of the Aaronson Law Firm in El Paso, Texas. With a remarkable legal career spanning nearly 50 years, Michael brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of the local and state legal landscapes.Whether you are a professional driver whose livelihood depends on a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), a student worried about a past mistake appearing on background checks, or a citizen interested in knowing their constitutional rights during a traffic stop, this episode is a masterclass in Texas criminal and traffic law.What You'll Learn in This Episode:1. The High Stakes of CDL Advocacy For commercial truck drivers, a driver's license isn't just a permit—it's a career. Michael explains how the Aaronson Law Firm represents CDL holders in hearings against the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Learn why you should never simply "accept" a revocation notice and how a dedicated attorney can negotiate with District Attorneys to keep you on the road.2. Occupational and Essential Needs Licenses If your license has been suspended, how do you get to work or take your children to school? Michael breaks down the "Essential Needs" or Occupational Driver's License (ODL). He explains how these court-ordered licenses work, where they are valid, and why judges are often willing to grant them to ensure citizens can maintain their daily responsibilities.3. The Science and Pitfalls of DWI/DUI Stops Do you know the difference between being "under the influence" and "legally intoxicated" in Texas? We discuss the .08 BAC threshold and the "loss of normal use" standard. Michael provides a fascinating breakdown of Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs), including:HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus): The involuntary jerking of the eye.The Walk and Turn: A test of divided attention and physical balance.The One-Leg Stand: How officers look for specific "clues" to build a case against you.4. Your Constitutional Rights: Search, Seizure, and Silence "Less is more." Michael offers crucial advice on interacting with law enforcement. We discuss the Fourth Amendment, the right to refuse a vehicle search, and why volunteering information about your day can often work against you in a court of law. Learn the power of the simple question: "Officer, am I being detained?"5. Expunctions vs. Non-Disclosures: A Second Chance One of the most valuable parts of this interview covers how to clear your record.Expunction: The "gold standard" of record clearing. Michael explains how this process can legally destroy criminal records, allowing you to deny an occurrence ever happened—even on job applications.Orders of Non-Disclosure: How to seal your records from the public eye and background check agencies, even when an expunction isn't an option.About the Guest: Michael Aaronson has been a pillar of the El Paso legal community for 49 years. His firm specializes in criminal law, felonies, misdemeanors, driver's license suspensions, and the sealing of criminal records. His experience in the El Paso County Courts and his history of negotiating with the DPS make him one of the region's most sought-after advocates.Firm Name: Aaronson Law FirmAttorney: Michael AaronsonOffice Address: 7362 Remcon Circle, El Paso, Texas 79912 (West Side El Paso)Phone Number: (915) 533-0110Website: https://aaronsonlawtx.com
