New York DWI Lawyer - Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

The penalties for DWI in New York and New Jersey are severe. If you are facing a DWI charge, the advice of an experienced DWI attorney can be invaluable. As a former police officer, DWI lawyer Edgar De Leon has the street smarts and court savvy to fight to protect your rights every step of the way, regardless of whether you choose to enter plea negotiations or proceed to trial.

In addition to facing suspension of your driver's license and a large fine, the police can start a civil action to take your car, even if this is your first DWI/DUI offense. If you blew over a 1.5, were in an accident in which you were driving drunk, or you had a previous DWI arrest, the police are likely to seek a civil court forfeiture action to take away your car. Money from the sale of your car would go directly to the police department.

At De Leon and Associates, our goal is to minimize the effect the DWI on your life and your pocketbook. The way we do this is by providing you an aggressive defense at the driver's license revocation hearing. While most people do not win at their driver's license revocation hearing, by contesting the revocation our lawyers can obtain good information about the state's case against you. We can then look for holes in the state's case, such as a violation of your constitutional rights during the stop or the arrest
