  • Client was charged with Driving While intoxicated after crashing his vehicle into seven (7) cars on his residential street and admitting to drinking alcohol to officers. Client faced 180 days in jail and a permanent DWI conviction on his record. After investigating the case further, Sim discovered that Client had been suffering from Bi-Polar Disorder, Depression, and severe Anxiety, and was not properly medicating himself. 
  • It was further discovered that Client actually intentionally crashed his vehicle in an effort to hurt himself after an intense argument with his girlfriend regarding her leaving with their mutual child. The case was set for jury trial after prosecutors refused to believe the event was caused by anything other than alcohol.


  • RESULT: Sim subpoenaed Client’s treating physician to testify that Client was not properly medicating his diagnosed conditions and argued that while client’s actions while driving were indeed reckless, they were not caused by intoxication. The jury agreed and returned a Not Guilty verdict. Client was able to Expunge both his arrest and charge from his record.

  • After leaving a Quinceanera event, Client was pulled over for poor driving and ultimately charged with Driving While Intoxicated.

  • After leaving a Quinceanera event, Client was pulled over for poor driving and ultimately charged with Driving While Intoxicated. Client admitted to drinking and consented to a Breath Test which showed a result of .143 blood alcohol concentration (nearly twice the legal limit). In addition, Client was questioned at the police station and made several incriminating statements. Sim filed a Motion to Suppress the Client’s statements and argued that Client was questioned without proper Miranda warnings.


  • RESULT: The Court granted the Motion to Suppress and all of Client’s statements at the police station were suppressed for purposes of trial. At jury trial, Sim pointed out alternative reasons for Client’s poor driving and argued that although Client’s BAC was .143 an hour and a half after he was driving, there was not enough evidence that he was intoxicated at the time of driving. Sim even got the State’s own forensic science witness to admit that it was possible Client was below .08 at the time of driving and his BAC rose to .143 while in custody. The jury agreed and returned a verdict of “Not Guilty” after just 15 minutes of deliberations. 

DAllas County: DWI

Dallas County: Sexual Assault

  • Client was charged with Driving While Intoxicated with BAC Greater than .15, a Class A Misdemeanor carrying up to 1 year in jail and up to $4,000 fine.

  • Client was charged with Driving While Intoxicated with BAC Greater than .15, a Class A Misdemeanor carrying up to 1 year in jail and up to $4,000 fine. Client consented to a blood test which yielded a result of .166 blood alcohol concentration. However, this test result didn’t match with Client’s demeanor on video as he looked completely sober on the Officer’s Dash-Cam footage. Upon further review, Sim noticed many problems with the way the blood was drawn from Client and filed a Motion to Suppress the Blood results.


  • RESULT:  The Court granted the Motion to Suppress the blood result and without that crucial piece of evidence (and with the Client looking great on video), the District Attorney’s Office dismissed the DWI case.

  • Client, a young college student, was charged with Sexual Assault (Rape), a Second Degree Felony. Client faced up to 20 years in State Prison.

  • Client was charged with Assault Family Violence against his ex-wife. Client had a previous 2007 assault charge involving a different woman, thus the current charge was enhanced to a 3rd Degree Felony. Client was facing 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The allegations stemmed from a Fourth of July party where Client was invited to ex-wife’s house to see his children. His ex-wife ultimately accused Client of violently assaulting her in front of multiple witnesses.


  • RESULT: At trial, Sim argued all the inconsistencies in the State’s witness’s stories, the lack of visible injury that should have been present given the allegations, and the fact that all parties involved were highly intoxicated from drinking all day in celebration of Independence Day. 
  • In addition, he pointed out that ex-wife was using the allegation to try to modify the custody arrangement regarding the parties’ children and thus had reason to fabricate the assault. The jury returned a verdict of “Not-Guilty” and Client was able to Expunge the arrest from his record.

  • Client, a well-respected respiratory therapist, was charged with sexually harassing a co-worker. Client’s respiratory license was in danger of being revoked based on the accusations and he was put on indefinite suspension pending the outcome of the case. Sim noticed many inconsistencies in the co-worker’s story and set the case for jury trial.


  • RESULT:  At trial, Sim pointed out all the holes in the co-worker’s testimony and argued alternatives of what likely occurred. After just 30 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned a Not Guilty verdict. Client can now move on from the baseless accusations, can return to work, and his license is no longer in danger of revocation.

  • Client was arrested and charged with Forgery of a Check, a State Jail Felony, after an altered check was presented at a check-cashing establishment with Client’s name on it. Client did have account at this establishment and the owner picked him out of a photo lineup as the one who opened the account previously. 
  • Client maintained his innocence and even told detectives in a voluntary interrogation that his identity had been stolen recently and that someone else was doing things in his name. The District Attorney pushed forward with the case as they claimed to see nearly 20 prior convictions for Client including previous Theft, Fraud, and Forgery convictions. Client informed us that he had never been convicted for any of those charges. 
  • After digging into the case further, Sim discovered that the criminal background history belonged to another individual who had used client’s name and birthdate as one of his many aliases. This prompted further inquiry and Sim was able to track down this other individual and found out that he is currently in prison serving a sentence for Forgery of a Check. 
  • Digging deeper, it was discovered that this other individual was caught less than a month after our Client’s alleged crime in a stolen vehicle in Dallas County with multiple stolen credit cards, stolen car keys, a fake ID with our Client’s name and date of birth, and another altered check with our Client’s name on it.


  • RESULT: After being presented with this new information, the District Attorney promptly dismissed the charges entirely. Further, Client will not have to wait the 3 year statute of limitations before being eligible to expunge this arrest and charge from his record and instead is eligible to expunge his record immediately.

  • Client was charged with choking his ex-girlfriend, a Third Degree Felony, and faced 10 years in prison. Prosecutors would not drop the charges despite extremely weak evidence of any actual choking and ample evidence that the complaining witness was an avid liar. 
  • Instead, the District Attorney wanted Client to plead Guilty to the offense, take numerous classes, and pay numerous fines.

Sim convinced the Father to show up to trial and testify against his own daughter.


  • RESULT:  On the day of trial, Prosecutors were not ready to proceed and requested a continuance. Sim argued against it and pointed out that the alleged “victim’s” own Father was present in the courtroom to testify against his daughter after traveling nearly 4 hours to be there. The State’s Motion for Continuance was denied by the Judge and the charges were dismissed completely. Client will be entitled to a complete Expunction of his criminal record.

Testimonials

Brandy C.- frisco, tx

Sim is amazing! I am so grateful to have met this man. He is very diligent, hard working and very communicable. He cleared my case and helped me through every step I needed to get through the process. I really appreciate you and your time you took to help me out! Thank you, thank you! 

Jesse A.- Watauga, TX

Sim reviewed my DWI case with a fine toothed comb, under a microscope. I honestly didn’t have very high hopes, given what I knew about the evidence. But he presented reasoning as to why going to trial would be the best option instead of just accepting the plea deal, which wasn’t that great. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to trust his judgement. During pretrial, Sim was able to make a compelling argument to the judge as to why the main piece of evidence (the blood test) was flawed and why it should not be admissible in court. Given the facts, it could have gone either way, and I am convinced that it is because of Sim's presentation to the judge that she decided the (blood) would not be admissible. His main argument was on point, his rebuttals were direct and compounding, and his closing is what I believe truly swung the gavel in our favor. It wasn’t cut and dry, and the judge forced him and the state to further delve into certain elements of the case that most people may not have been prepared for. The state was not, but Sim was. He was able to pick apart elements of my case that I didn’t think possible. Because of this, what could have been a life altering scenario was completely avoided. I owe him greatly and am very grateful for how much time and preparation he put into my case. His rates were very competitive as well. 

Lindsey C.- Melissa, TX

I got a arrested for a DWI and should have not been arrested due to the fact the cop screwed up all the tests and new he made the errors and confessed in court and was even unsure of himself on the video on his dash cam and asking me again to take off my heels and continued to do more tests when already told my dad he was taking me to jail for DWI. It made no sense. But in court Sim Peter was my attorney and did such a great job! He had presentations with slide shows prepared and knew the law better then the officer that arrested me and knew exactly what he should have been updated on and really nailed him to the point he was getting nervous/agitated and even asked for glass of water as his face was red just to calm himself down from nerves! My attorney knew I was not drunk and that this cop was just not doing his job properly which sent a good person to jail who suffered through a yr of hell for no reason but because of Sim I am finally free and am very lucky I got him and couldn't ask for better! He truly knows the law better then some of these cops and truly cares . So if you are looking for someone to take on ur case he's definitely someone who won't let u down! :)

Sim Peter is amazing. I had a legal issue and had no idea how to deal with it. I went in and talked with Sim. He explained everything clearly in regular English and told me everything he would do to resolve the situation. His office kept me informed of every step along the way, and whenever I had questions, all I had to do was call or send an email and they were quickly answered. Sim really lifted the burden off of my shoulders. I didn't have to worry about anything at all. I will definitely refer all of my friends and family to Sim if they ever need legal help.
