Staten Island DWI Lawyers

1. Santamauro, Matthew CRIMINAL/ PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
2. Duval, Leo: After an arrest for a DWI in New York your license will be suspended the very first time you go to court, even though you haven’t been convicted of anything (Suspension Pending Prosecution Law). Having an attorney experienced with DWI can help protect at least a limited use of your license. Another important issue people need to understand is when it is appropriate to refuse to take a breathalyzer test. Every situation is different, and it is wise to understand the law before making your decision. The penalty for refusing a breathalyzer test is a minimum 6 month driver’s license revocation. Even if it was an illegal traffic stop, refusing to take the test still may lead to your license being taken away.
3. Helbock, Nappa & Gallucci: If you, a friend, or a loved one is charged with DWI, take it very seriously. The DWI laws in New York and New Jersey are severe. Without a skilled, dedicated DWI defense attorney, you could be facing jail time, a criminal record, loss of your driver's license and other penalties. Do not speak with any law enforcement official without first contacting an experienced DWI defense attorney. Do not grant permission to search your vehicle.
