The Law Office of Brian Berkowitz has been defending clients facing a DWI, traffic ticket or other criminal charges for over 25 years.
If you have been arrested for a DWI of any kind in Rockland County, you may be worried, confused, or frightened about what will happen to you next. You may also wish to fight the charges, which you have a legal right to do in court. By fighting the charges against you, you may be able to avoid a conviction with all of the negative consequences that entails, including jail time, hefty fines, suspension or revocation of your driver's license and the installation of an ignition interlock device. As an experienced Rockland County DWI lawyer, I can help you by formulating an effective defense, which can minimize the harsh consequences you may be facing.
The special focus of my firm is DWI defense. I am extremely experienced in DWI cases because of my legal background. I have been practicing law in New York since 1998, having spent more than 4 years in the Rockland County District Attorney's Office. As a Senior Assistant District Attorney, I was appointed to head the office's DWI bureau. I became extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all of the legal aspects of every type of DWI case, from underage DWI to Aggravated and multiple DWIs.
I recognize that being charged with a crime of any kind is a serious matter that requires serious defense. I am proud to provide that caliber of legal representation. Not only do I have years of experience on the other side of the courtroom, but I have proven myself as a defense attorney.
With this background as a prosecutor, I know how the prosecution will build its case and can anticipate and counteract their strategies and tactics with a comprehensive defense plan on your behalf. I understand all of the scientific and technical aspects of DWI cases, from breath and blood testing to field sobriety tests and more. In the case of a DWI connected with alcohol or drugs, if you are looking for a thorough and efficient defense, I urge you to contact me for a consultation about your case.
