Ridgemont, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

You were charged when the warrant was issued. The question is whether you have a speedy trial defense. I suggest you hire a good criminal defense lawyer who knows how to handle a dui case.

Were you behind the wheel, and pulled over? Are we supposed to assume that? If your BAC is .21, your license will be suspended either at an ALS hearing, or after the resolution of the case, IF you do not win.

I am an attorney who exclusively handles DUI cases, I think it is a good idea to hire an attorney, the law is complicated, the evidence isnt always as solid as it appears and mis-steps can result in greater penalties, like higher fines, longer sentences, jail instead of sentencing alternatives, longer license suspensions, more expensive insurance rates and, in some cases, additional charges. The appointed attorney will do their best for you in court but may not have the experience or training to know the science of chemical testing and rarely do they understand how a court resolution will affect the DMV and your driving privilege. You should consult a local DUI attorney to discuss the facts of your case, the defenses that may be applicable and the possible outcomes. Many DUI attorneys are less expensive than you think and offer payment plans or will otherwise work with you if they think they can help you.
