New York Driving While Intoxicated Lawyer
A DWI anywhere in New York is serious in every respect. No one who values their freedoms, financial well-being, and future prospects should face a charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving with ability impaired (DWAI) without making the effort to contact an experienced DWI defense lawyer.
Longstanding Pleasant Valley lawyer Tom Vasti knows current DWI laws, along with area courts' processes and protocols, extremely well. Equally important, we treat our clients with humanity and respect, taking the time to understand what is most important to you whether you are a college student, CDL holder and professional driver, single parent, public figure or anyone else with unique needs.
Underestimating DWI Consequences Is a Common but Serious Mistake
When it comes to DWI enforcement, prosecution and penalties, we are in a whole new world. Laws passed in recent years expose people who might once have paid a fine and moved on to consequences that may include:
- Forfeitures of a vehicle and other property
- A felony conviction if you are found guilty of DWI with a minor in your vehicle
- Mandatory use of an ignition interlock device to test your breath for alcohol every time you drive
- Lengthy driver's license suspensions and greater challenges in securing a conditional license and restoring your driving privilege
For further insight into what a DWI conviction might mean, visit our Drunk Driving Information Center or call 888-351-3038.
Thorough Investigation and Preparation to Fight the Charge or Negotiate
Applying deep DWI defense experience for people arrested throughout the Hudson Valley, including out-of-state drivers, we:
- Offer clear guidance if you call while you are in custody and want to know whether you should consent to breath, blood, urine or saliva testing
- Rapidly and thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your arrest and the evidence against you in the effort to find problems that may enable us to obtain an acquittal, dismissal or reduction of the charge
- Cut through the complexities of a driver's license suspension and reinstatement
- Work closely with you to identify the best strategy for dealing with your case, whether that means moving quickly toward a plea bargain, fighting the charge in court, or improving your position by voluntarily entering counseling or treatment
With many years of experience in Hudson Valley area courts and a strong track record of earning positive results, we believe Vasti & Vasti, P.C., should be your first call when you need a DWI lawyer.
