DWI Defense Attorney in Syracuse & Central New York

Facing a DWI Charge? You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

DWI defense attorney providing representation for DWI charges in Central New York.

Facing a DWI charge in New York is a serious matter that can impact multiple aspects of your life, from your driving privileges to your career and personal reputation. I specialize in navigating these complex cases, protecting your rights and minimizing potential penalties. In New York, penalties for a DWI conviction can be severe and may include substantial fines, license suspension or revocation, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. Additionally, a DWI on your record can lead to higher insurance premiums and affect future employment opportunities. Understanding the risks associated with DWI charges and the legal defenses available is the first step in moving forward, and I am here to provide the robust defense you need.

How I Build Your Defense

Certificate

Thorough Investigation

I scrutinize every aspect of your arrest, from the initial stop to how the breathalyzer was conducted. If there were any procedural errors, I will expose them.

Certificate

Challenging the Evidence

Breathalyzer results and field sobriety tests are not always reliable. I challenge the validity of the evidence against you and work to have it dismissed or weakened.

Certificate

Minimizing Penalties

In cases where a dismissal isn’t possible, I strive for reduced penalties and alternative sentencing options, such as treatment programs or reduced charges.

Why Work with a Dedicated DWI Attorney?

I bring in-depth knowledge of DWI law and the experience needed to fight for your best outcome. My focus is on getting you back on track with minimal disruptions to your life.
