New York City DUI/DWI Defense Lawyer

Queens Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

New York drunk driving law is very complex and these cases require the attention of an experienced DWI lawyer. Even a first time DWI or DWAI (driving while ability impaired) offense can result in serious fines, jail time and driver's license suspension. For many people, their first DWI is their first encounter with the law. Make sure you understand your rights and that you have a strong ally on your side to protect them.

When you hire the New York, New York, law offices of Chater & Associates, you can count on me to pursue every legal option available in search of a favorable outcome. I have been an attorney in New York City for over 10 years and I have handled all types of drunk driving cases. I fight aggressively to see that your rights are protected at all times.

Building a Strong Defense in Your Case

With every drunk driving case I take, I closely examine all the police reports and all the evidence against you. I will look at the reasons for the initial traffic stop that led to your arrest, the accuracy of the Breathalyzer test or field sobriety test and the qualifications of the person who administered them.

I will look for every opportunity to have the charges against you dismissed. If we can't get them dismissed, we'll go to court. I am a skilled litigator and I fight to win. I will present the strongest possible criminal defense on your behalf and do everything I can to beat the charges against you outright.

DMV Hearings

If you refuse to take a breath test or other chemical test, New York law considers it a license violation that can result in fines and license suspension. Refusal is a separate matter from the criminal charge of drunk driving. Refusals are handled at a DMV hearing. Even if you are found not guilty of drunk driving in the criminal proceeding, you can still lose your driving privileges due to a breath test refusal. I will represent you at your hearing and work to preserve your right to drive.

As a New York City criminal defense lawyer, I represent clients throughout the five boroughs.
