DWI Defense Attorney in Westchester County
It is not uncommon for a person arrested on DWI charges to feel a sense of shame or embarrassment. It is also fairly common — especially for people facing first-time DWI charges — to have the desire to simply pay the fine, accept the consequences, and try to forget the drunk-driving arrest ever happened.
Even misdemeanor DWI citations can have serious long-term consequences, however, including increased insurance rates, heavy financial penalties, and a mark on an otherwise clean criminal record. Anyone facing a criminal drunk-driving charge does the right thing by consulting an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after the arrest.
For more than two decades, the Law Offices of Shari R. Gordon has provided vigorous and thorough criminal defense services for individuals facing any type of criminal charge — from a first-time DUI to a charge of vehicular manslaughter while under the influence. Whether you live in Yorktown Heights, Cortlandt Manor or any of the surrounding areas, we are available to diligently fight to protect your rights.
Attorney Shari R. Gordon works directly with every client and develops a custom defense strategy once she understands each client's unique wishes for how to achieve an outcome.
Depending on the specific circumstances of the traffic stop or arrest, the questions Shari will ask as she develops a defense include:
- Do the facts allow you to seek an alternative disposition such as mandatory alcohol counseling and community service?
- Do you wish to enter a guilty plea or fight the charges?
- What were the circumstances of the traffic stop? Were you administered field sobriety tests? What were the roadside conditions where the tests occurred?
- Were you given a breath test? What was the result?
The answers to these and other questions will help Shari as she frames her defense in each case, always striving for the best possible outcome given the circumstances.
