A Former Cop Who Can Protect Your Rights in Court
Contact the Law Offices of Gerard V. Amedio Today

As a former police officer, attorney Gerard V. Amedio knows how law enforcement officials handle DWI charges. When a police officer stops a car for a suspected DWI offense, several procedures and protocols have to be maintained. Mistakes are sometimes made and testing of suspects can be improperly performed. Knowing the procedure and knowing the methods they use, we know how to build a DWI defense that attacks their case and finds inconsistencies.

After a DWI, your first concern is keeping your license, but you will also face other potentially immediate and long-term consequences. Taking a close look at your situation, we will help you assess the possible criminal penalties, including fines, probation and incarceration. Even for first-time offenders, the fines can be severe.

License Suspension

In New York, if you refuse to take a breath test, your license is suspended immediately and automatically. The state has to give you a hearing within 15 days of the arrest. If they decide that the police officer had probable cause, there is an automatic, six month license suspension, regardless of the outcome of your criminal case. We have never lost a refusal hearing and we will work hard to protect your rights going forward as well.

It is also important to note that the only time you go before the DMV in a drunk driving case is if you refused to take the test. If you submitted to a breath test, your license suspension will be determined in court.
