Syracuse DWI Lawyer
In the State of New York, the laws regarding driving while intoxicated or DWI (also referred to as DUI) are constantly changing and becoming increasingly more stringent. Having an attorney who keeps abreast of such changes when you’ve been charged with drunk driving can mean the difference between losing your license and being able to maintain driving privileges.
At the Law Offices of George Hildebrandt in Syracuse, New York, I apply a tremendous amount of experience and hard work to resolving DWI/DUI cases for my clients. Whether you are a college student at Syracuse University, Le Moyne or another area college or university returning from a party or a business person heading home after a few drinks with a colleague, you may rely on my knowledge and skills to help you achieve a positive outcome following a DWI, based on the facts of your case. Contact me today.
Drunk Driving
I have worked with numerous clients who face the possibility of losing their licenses or commercial licenses following a drunk driving charge. While a DWI charge may seem routine when compared to some of the more serious charges I’ve handled, I approach a DWI/DUI case with the same level of seriousness as any other. Through thorough preparation and personalized attention, I have been able to help individuals charged with DWI/DUI get reduced sentences (such as a DWAI – driving while ability impaired) and avoid license suspension or revocation.
Retaining Your License
Many lawyers dabble in defending clients charged with drunk driving. They frequently lack the understanding to avoid or minimize the chances of losing your license. The court will often seek to suspend your license at your first appearance. If your case is pending for several months, this may result in the loss of your license for longer than you will lose it if convicted. Also, if you refuse a breathalyzer/breath test, you have an administrative hearing at the DMV where your license may be revoked for six months. Some attorneys believe that a suspended license or revocation in a DWI/DUI case is inevitable, and do not put much effort into defending against these repercussions. I have a proven record of successfully preventing these types of suspensions and revocations, and they are critical areas that I address with each DWI/DUI case.
I am prepared to fight to help you keep your commercial drivers license (CDL) or standard drivers license. Get the preparation, dedication, trial experience and personal attention you need in your criminal defense case. Contact the Law Offices of George Hildebrandt today. I look forward to discussing your case with you.
