Casey Spencer Law delivers criminal defense Pittsford and Monroe County clients need from an attorney who spent years on the other side of the courtroom — Casey Spencer, Esq. served as an Assistant District Attorney in Monroe County, prosecuting hundreds of cases in the Major Felonies Bureau before shifting to defense work. That prosecutorial background gives the firm an unusually clear picture of how the Monroe County DA’s office builds cases, which it now uses to defend clients facing charges ranging from DWI and weapons offenses to serious felonies in state and federal court. The firm serves clients throughout the Greater Rochester area from its Pittsford base in Monroe County. Clients highlight Attorney Spencer’s courtroom confidence and her ability to read how a case is likely to unfold based on the prosecution’s strategy — knowledge she developed prosecuting those same case types in Monroe County. Reviewers consistently describe feeling that their attorney genuinely understood the system from the inside and used that knowledge aggressively on their behalf, rather than pushing for quick pleas regardless of the merits. Felony charges in Monroe County proceed through Rochester City Court for arraignment and preliminary hearings, then transfer to Monroe County Supreme Court (located at the Hall of Justice, 99 Exchange Blvd, Rochester) for indictment and trial. The Monroe County DA’s Major Felonies Bureau handles the most serious charges, and defendants benefit from counsel who has worked within that unit and understands its charging and plea practices. In New York, a BAC of 0.08% or higher triggers a standard DWI charge; 0.18% or higher triggers an Aggravated DWI with enhanced penalties. A first-offense DWI is a misdemeanor carrying up to one year in jail, a $500–$1,000 fine, and a six-month license revocation. A second DWI within ten years is a Class E felony. Monroe County courts also commonly impose ignition interlock conditions as part of sentencing or plea agreements.
