Traffic & DWI Attorney in New York City

Lawyer for Traffic Violations in New York, Long Island and New Jersey

If you need the assistance of a New York City traffic lawyer, the law firm of Gannes & Musico LLP can provide you with an aggressive criminal defense. Whether the allegations you are facing are for a traffic offense, DWI/DUI, drug crime, misdemeanor, or other criminal or traffic violation, we are dedicated to working hard for your case.

In New York, a traffic ticket can have severe consequences that exceed just a simple nuisance or fine. If your livelihood is centered around driving a taxi or truck, getting too many tickets is cause for concern. In addition to the fine, points are usually accrued on your driving record, and after accumulating enough points, you may face a driver's license suspension. More serious traffic violations, such as DWI or DUI, may result in possible imprisonment or community service, or more fines and license suspension.

In the face of a drunk driving charge or allegation, it is important to choose an attorney who can effectively assert your rights throughout all court proceedings. We can intervene early in the process in order to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney to have your charges lessened or even dismissed. It is also possible for us to seek alternative sentencing such as treatment or rehabilitation to avoid any type of imprisonment. In addition to representing your interests in criminal court, we can offer experienced counsel for DMV matters, such as your administrative license suspension hearing, which is your chance to challenge the suspension of your driver's license due to an allegedly failed or refused breath or blood test.

Types of Criminal and Traffic Cases We Handle in NYC

Our experienced team of traffic lawyers is committed to providing our clients with the knowledgeable counsel and hard-hitting defense counsel they need in the face of citations for moving violations such as speeding tickets and reckless driving as well as non-speeding tickets. Some of our other key areas of practice include commercial driver's license tickets and suspension, auto accidents, operating without insurance, driving without a license, safety hearings and bench warrants.

Though some may argue that the only consequence of a traffic ticket is the payment of a fine, there are other issues that should be taken into consideration as well. This may include increased insurance rates and points on your record, which may eventually lead to license suspension if you accumulate too many points within a given time period. Some traffic offenses are also crimes, meaning you may face imprisonment and the rest of your life with a criminal record. You cannot afford to take chances in the face of any type of traffic violation; it is best to consult with an attorney who can advise you of your rights and what you may be up against. With our extensive experience in handling traffic cases and DMV matters, as well as criminal defense, in New York City, we are prepared to offer you the information you need to make the right choice about fighting your ticket versus simply paying the fine.
