We Thoroughly Investigate and Fight DWI Charges
When you consult with our Queens and Brooklyn DWI defense lawyers, you can count on them to listen, take the time to learn about your situation and how a DWI can affect your life, family and livelihood. We strive to minimize and overcome the collateral consequences on a professional license, immigration status and much more. This means that in each case, we meticulously investigate the case and assess the best options — whether that means working to get charges reduced, assessing diversionary options or aggressively litigating the case at trial.
- Our attorneys review videos taken from the police vehicle, which may demonstrate errors in how field sobriety tests were administered or the subjectivity of the results.
- We seek out independent analysis of breath tests, blood tests and other chemical test results, which may indicate discrepancy in the blood alcohol content (BAC) level of a driver when he/she was actually driving.
- We analyze accuracy of testing machines to determine if the test produced a high BAC result due to improper calibration of the Breathalyzer or improper administration of the breath test.
Our DWI Defense Lawyers Seek the Best Possible Results for Each Client
In New York, individuals convicted for drunk driving may be exposed to fines, jail time, ignition interlock devices, SCRAM bracelets (Secure Continuous Remote Monitoring bracelets) and other consequences. Our attorneys work to minimize exposure to the different facets of DWI penalties. As experienced DWI defense attorneys, we understand the level of investigation that is necessary to determine the best way to move forward and produce the most favorable outcome for each case.
For first-time offenders, this could mean litigating the case to have charges dismissed or entering a diversionary program to avoid a criminal conviction. In other drunk driving cases, it may mean negotiating with the prosecutor for a lesser offense, such as driving while ability impaired (DWAI) — an offense that results in a small fine and 90-day license suspension rather than the higher consequences for DWI. In some situations, a client may also benefit from this reduction in order to avoid a future felony DWI arrest. We are prepared and willing in each case to proceed to trial and argue on a client's behalf.
