Long Island DWI Attorney

Defense for Misdemeanor and Felony DWI Charges

Our DWI legal team is prepared to fight to defend you if you have been arrested and charged in the Long Island area. The repercussions of a DWI conviction are far more serious than the damage to your criminal record and reputation - you will be facing driver's license suspension, community service, fines, mandated alcohol education programs and increased insurance rates, even on a first time DWI conviction. Those who have prior convictions on record are in serious legal trouble, as the penalties increase in severity and in some cases, you could be facing felony charges. At Jacoby & Jacoby, we have over 50 years of experience and our legal team takes pride in their trial abilities and talent. It is a known fact that the quality of your Long Island DWI lawyer can have a significant impact on the final outcome of your case. Is it possible to have it dismissed altogether? A high quality, aggressive lawyer is a necessity if you are hoping to avoid penalties.

Aggressively Defending Your Rights

Our legal team moves forward quickly in all cases of charges of DWI and can advise you regarding the DWI penalties you could be facing, and what strategy we could employ in defending you against the charges. Those who have multiple DWI convictions must ensure that they have an aggressive, proven defense lawyer from our firm representing them from the moment of the arrest. Young adults who have been charged with an underage DWI offense can face some serious repercussions, and taking early defense action can often resolve the charges without damaging their future prospects, whether in employment, school or other important issue.

If you are charged with a felony DWI offense, your future is truly in jeopardy. It is crucial that you remain silent and contact our firm as soon after your arrest as possible. We immediately move forward with the vital defense actions that you will need if you are hoping to avoid conviction. These felony offenses include DWI with injury, vehicular manslaughter or when you have several DWI convictions in the past.

Your criminal charges will be addressed in court, but the issue regarding your driver's license suspension or revocation is addressed in DMV hearings. When our firm takes on a case, we are able to schedule and represent you at the hearing, and have often been successful in avoiding license suspension. A DWI charge is based on certain evidence including breath & blood tests, field sobriety tests, BAC evidence that has been obtained in a traffic stop or at sobriety checkpoints. The evidence against you must be fully evaluated, as there are many cases that upon review, we discover serious flaws in administration of tests, breath testing device errors, or other compelling defense strategies that we can employ to help you avoid the punishments. We also help those who need to get drivers' license restoration, and move forward at once to help after all types of DWI arrests, including representing at every hearing to protect your rights.
