Criminal Defense and Administrative License Restoration for DUI/DWI

In our driving under the influence/driving while intoxicated (DUI/DWI) practice, we attend the administrative hearings to determine whether your license will be suspended and when you will get it back. We also represent you in any DUI/DWI proceedings in the criminal courts.

When you are charged with drunk driving, we will conduct a thorough examination of all the evidence. We will review the stop to determine whether the arresting officer had probable cause to pull over your vehicle. We will review the police report and question witnesses to confirm that you were given the proper warnings before you made any statements. We will also review records and procedure to ensure that field sobriety and blood alcohol tests were properly administered.

Other Felonies and Misdemeanors

We handle the defense of a wide range of criminal charges, from misdemeanor and violation level offenses to felony charges, including:

  • Trespass
  • Harassment
  • Assault
  • Weapons charges
  • Identity theft
  • Drug offenses, including possession and trafficking

We represent clients charged with most types of traffic violations, including speeding, driving on a suspended license and commercial driver's license (CDL) violations.

Juvenile Offenses

Our attorneys work closely with juvenile offenders, handling charges ranging from shoplifting to mailbox vandalism. In an effort to avoid the establishment of a permanent criminal record, we will explore probation and rehabilitation as options for underage offenders.

For experienced DWI defense attorneys in Rochester and eastern Monroe County, contact us. Our office is open from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday and until 3 p.m. on Friday. Evening and weekend appointments are available. We can travel to meet with you and we accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
