About George
Biography
Attorney George A. Scharmen has been practicing law since 1973, giving him 40 years of legal experience in the criminal field. Up until 1990, he assisted with all kinds of cases, but since then he has dedicated his firm solely to helping those who are facing drunk driving charges. Having prepared numerous cases, appeals, and appeared in many U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit situations, he has gathered invaluable work skills. In 1992, he attained Board Certification as a Criminal Law Specialist and in 1993 he went on to become a Board Certified Criminal Trial Advocate for the National Board of Trail Advocacy. Joining forces with other lawyers that were as passionate as he was about defending client rights and pursuing justice, he helped to found the National College for DUI Defense, which was the reason why he began to focus his firm on purely DWI/DUI cases.
In addition to all of this, he also was the founding president for the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and has since then served as both a member and director of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association for the past 25 years. His work has been instrumental in shaping the way that DWI cases are prosecuted and he is working to pass a motion that suppresses blood searches in local San Antonio bars. It is his drive and determination, as seen in these outstanding achievements that reveal why he is able to obtain such positive case results.
Attorney Scharmen has been ranked as a 10.0 Superb rated lawyer on Avvo, which is the very highest ranking possible. Additionally, he has had the honor of being included in the list of Texas Super Lawyers® Rising StarsSM from 2003-2012, which is a full 10 consecutive years. No other DWI lawyer in all of San Antonio can make this claim. The National Trial Lawyers Association has named him in their list of the Top 100 Lawyers and he has been called one of The Best Lawyers in America® for the category of DWI/DUI from 2007-2013. Contact him for reliable and aggressive legal representation at a time when you need it most!

Best lawyer for DWI
I was George Scharnen's paralegal for ten years before I had a baby in 2011. He is a well known lawyer throughout the United States and Texas. It was a pleasure working for such a top notch lawyer.
