New York City DWI/DUI Defense Attorneys

Brooklyn — Manhattan — the Bronx — Queens — Staten Island — New Jersey

If you have been accused of drunk driving, you already know you face stiff penalties, including fines, loss of driving privileges and even jail time. You may be asking, "What are my options?" and "Who can help me?"

The New York City criminal defense firm of the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates has helped hundreds of people facing criminal charges, including DUI/DWI.

Are you facing DUI/DWI/drunk driving charges? Are you concerned that a conviction will lead to a criminal record and possible employment problems, as well as fines and the suspension of your driver's license? Contact the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates at 718-530-0212 for experienced help.

When alleged lawbreakers are "caught," it is extremely easy to assume that a conviction is assured. It is not. We routinely fight and beat drunk driving charges using a range of creative defenses, including:

• Did the police have reasonable suspicion to pull you over? Many alleged signs of drunk driving constitute legal driving. We can argue you were pulled over illegally.
• Did a breathalyzer or blood test indicate that you were in fact legally intoxicated? Breath test machines are notoriously unreliable if they are not properly administered, calibrated and maintained. Even blood tests can be fallible if the blood is analyzed or handled incorrectly.
• Did the police officer follow the proper procedures? Lack of training occurs in New York City police departments, and violations of protocol are common and illegal.

We can fight your charges and, if you contact us in time, also work to assist in preventing the suspension of your driver's license. We also can work toward having you accepted into a diversion program that may help you avoid possible incarceration. For more information, contact us for a no-charge consultation.
