Driving While Intoxicated or other criminal charges in New York can be an extremely serious matter. While you may have a family lawyer or friend looking to "help you out,"when it comes to these charges you cannot afford to rely on a lawyer who may not be well-versed in New York DWI, Penal or Criminal Procedure Laws. Experience teaches a lawyer the particular nuances of the law surrounding this complex area of practice. Your lawyer must be able to recognize potential opportunities to save you your freedom, your ability to drive, thousands of dollars in fines, assessments and increased insurance premiums, and perhaps, even your job.
These are the areas of law which I am most passionate about. If you've been arrested for a criminal offense or even received a traffic ticket, you should get timely, accurate information from a professional. Since 1990 my practice has focused on the defense of persons charged with crimes, DWI, and other traffic-related matters.
It is critical that you have the information early which you will need to make good decisions. You must know how the charges and understand the choices you make can affect your welfare, as well as, your family's future. A DWI can result in serious consequences and have damaging implications. There are many undesirable effects of being charged with DWI, which may include: High fines, DMV driver’s assessment, license restriction, license suspension, license revocation, alcohol assessment and treatment, probation, jail, increased insurance premiums or cancellation of policy, loss of employment and more.
Certain factors may exacerbate the disposition and/or penalties, such as the severity of the intoxication, e.g., past DWI arrests, the defendant's age and prior criminal history, and whether there were any personal injuries or property damage.
I am a former town prosecutor who will fight to defend your rights. I have prosecuted over 2,500 vehicular offenses and defended motorists in New York on D.W.I. charges since 1990. I truly enjoy defending motor vehicle offenses; whether a DWI charge or a speeding ticket. It happens to good people from every walk of life. And, when they come to me I give every one of them my very best!
All of my clients get the professional representation they need and the personal service they deserve. An arrest does not have to signal an end to life as you know it. In fact, it can be the start of a new, more productive, healthier and happier life. This difficult time too, like many other challenges we all face in our lives, shall pass.
