Facing a DWI charge in New York? Don’t navigate the legal system alone—secure the guidance of a skilled and reputable defense attorney.
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense strictly enforced throughout Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange Counties, with aggressive prosecution by the District Attorney’s Offices and local criminal courts. Being confronted by law enforcement under suspicion of DWI can be a daunting experience, and a conviction can have lasting consequences on your driving record and future.
At The Law Office of Rex M. Pietrobono, we understand the stakes involved and are committed to defending our clients with unwavering dedication. Attorney Rex M. Pietrobono brings a unique perspective—having served as both a local court prosecutor and a defense attorney, he possesses invaluable insight into prosecutorial strategies and how to effectively challenge DWI charges.
In New York, you can be charged with a DWI if your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher.
New York operates under Implied Consent laws, codified under NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 1194, states that by operating a motor vehicle on public roads, a driver automatically consents to chemical testing (breath, blood, urine, or saliva) if lawfully arrested on suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI).
The question of whether or not to consent to taking one of these tests must be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of an arrest and before the police deem a ‘refusal’ has occurred. There is no black and white cookie-cutter answer to that question. However, even if you have submitted to testing, you still have legal options. As an experienced DWI attorney, Rex M. Pietrobono may be able to challenge the testing procedures or results—potentially leading to the suppression of evidence or even a case dismissal.
Don’t leave your future to chance. An experienced DWI defense attorney can protect your rights, challenge the evidence against you, and work to mitigate the consequences of your charge.
Choosing the right DWI attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Here’s why having a seasoned legal professional on your side is critical:
DWI cases are legally complex and require in-depth knowledge of New York’s DWI statutes, courtroom procedures, and evidentiary challenges. A skilled attorney can assess your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument, and develop a strong defense strategy.
An experienced attorney understands how to challenge the legality of the traffic stop, question the validity of field sobriety and chemical tests, and advocate for the best possible outcome—whether that’s a reduction in charges, dismissal, or alternative sentencing options.
Building a strong defense often depends on the quality of the evidence. A DWI attorney will examine every aspect of your case, including police reports, video footage, breathalyzer calibration records, and witness testimony, to ensure your rights were not violated.
A knowledgeable defense lawyer will scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence and look for procedural errors, inconsistencies, or violations of your constitutional rights. If law enforcement lacked probable cause to stop you, or if testing procedures were flawed, your attorney may be able to suppress key evidence—which could lead to case dismissal or reduced penalties.
A DWI conviction can result in severe penalties, including:
With the right legal strategy, an attorney may be able to negotiate reduced charges, advocate for alternative sentencing, or fight for a full dismissal—protecting your freedom, reputation, and financial well-being.
