Mimi Coffey DWI/Criminal Defense Lawyer Credentials


Mimi Coffey is DWI lawyer with 24 years experience and the founder of The Coffey Firm, which specializes in DWI and Criminal Defense. I handle a wide range of cases from class B misdemeanors up to 1st degree felony offenses. In addition, I have appeared numerous times as a legal commentator for CNN, Fox News, as well as local Dallas/Fort Worth stations. I am board certified by the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD) and also listed on several “top” directory listings such as DWI attorneys Tarrant County, DWI Lawyer Fort Worth, DWI attorney Dallas CountyDWI attorneys Collin County and DWI attorneys Parker County. I am a caring DWI Lawyer in DFW, I am also involved in the Texas Tech School of Law foundation and I enjoy using the skills I have developed to give back to the community..
Mimi has appeared as a legal commentator for CNN, National Fox News, and local Dallas/Fort Worth stations on DWI-related stories. She is also a frequent speaker at both national and state-wide seminars. Mimi is an experienced attorney with a proven trial record (over 300 cases, with 80% of them being jury trials). Her successes include everything from .21 breath tests, blood tests to 3 car accident cases. Mimi’s cases have also made excellent case law for the State of Texas. She even sued the Texas Department of Public Safety in federal court on the Texas DPS surcharge program.
She has won the President’s Heart of a Champion Award from the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (TCDLA) numerous times. Mimi also led the effort to get the Texas Board of Legal Specialization to recognize the NCDD’s DWI Certification.
Mimi has been active over 4 legislative sessions in fighting against bad DWI laws. Her efforts prevented the breath/blood test refusal as being a separate crime. She has also argued for true deferred adjudication for DWI. It was her bill that was passed by State Representative Charlie Geren that entitles citizens accused to a copy of their DWI video tape, previously forbidden by law.
Mimi has written and been published on DWI/DWI related articles four times nationally and six times statewide. She is the author of Texas DWI Defense published by Lawyers and Judges Publishing, now in its second edition.
