Guiding our clients through a defense against a DUI

The dangers of drunk driving are well known. This is why the state of New York and other states are harsh on this crime. Being accused of drunk driving is much more serious than receiving a traffic violation. One is faced with much more than minor fines. Thus, it is important to understand how a motorist can challenge and defend him or herself against a drunk driving charge.

Being charged with driving under the influence or DUI and driving while intoxicated or DWI is not like other traffic tickets. The ramifications of a DWI or DUI can be serious, making it vital to take steps to avoid conviction of the charges that could be misdemeanor or even felony.

At the Law Office of James L. Riotto, our experienced legal team understands the laws pertaining to DUI and DWI charges. Thus, we are able to help our clients navigate these matters, helping them take steps to reduce and even dismiss the charges against them.

Evidence is key when convicting a driver of drunk driving. Whether evidence includes a field sobriety test, a breath test or any other type of test, our attorneys take the time to ensure the legality of the evidence used against our clients. Even more so, we look at any technicalities that could constitute an unlawful stop or an illegal arrest. Our goal is to make sure the rights of our clients are protected while also taking steps to meet the goals of our clients.
