Biography
A DWI charge can cost you your license, your job, and your freedom. Most attorneys learn DWI defense from textbooks. I learned it from the other side of the badge.
I spent over twenty years as a New York State Trooper investigating DWI cases, making arrests, and building the evidence prosecutors rely on. That experience is now your advantage.
I conducted hundreds of DWI arrests. I know the shortcuts officers take, the procedural mistakes they make, and the assumptions they build cases on. When I review your arrest, I see what other defense attorneys miss.
I am a former Certified Breathalyzer Operator. I held a NYS Department of Health permit to perform chemical breath tests. I understand how these machines work, when they fail, and how to challenge results that look airtight on paper.
I performed field sobriety tests on actual roadways. Not in a seminar. Not in a classroom. On real roads with real conditions. I know every environmental factor that can compromise these tests, and I have lectured and trained fellow attorneys on how to challenge them.
