DWI Defense

Queens DWI Defense Lawyer

Stricter laws regarding drunk driving and blood alcohol levels has meant an increase in the number of first-time driving-while-intoxicated offenders. If you have been pulled over for drunk driving — whether as a first-time or repeat offender — and require legal representation, contact the Law Office of Bert H. Nisonoff, Attorney at Law, in New York. We use our experience to help you.

Serious Consequences

Many people arrested for drunk driving have no criminal record and no history of alcoholic behavior; they simply had one too many drinks at a party or at a club after work. Yet the charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI), sometimes also referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while ability impaired (DWAI), is a serious matter, one which can carry consequences.

When stopped for speeding/reckless driving, hit and run/leaving the scene of a crime or another vehicular crime — one in which a police officer is present, asking questions or pressuring you to take a Breathalyzer or sobriety test — it is sometimes difficult to act in your own interest. You understand that your words or actions could be used against you in your case, yet you want to be cooperative and avoid creating more problems. No matter what happened, the sooner you speak to an experienced defense attorney who can protect your rights, the better.

If your license has been suspended for refusing to take a Breathalyzer test, our firm can help you obtain full or provisional driving privileges during your case. Attorney Bert Nisonoff uses his skills as a seasoned negotiator to help clients achieve more favorable sentencing in their DWI defense cases.
