With over 300 reviews and 5-star ratings, discover why 99% of our clients would recommend us.

This team responded right away, came up with a plan and acted on it right away. Very reasonable and flexible with payment plans and very understanding with my situation if I was in a bind with finances. You can tell they actually want to help you. Highly recommend!

I got caught for drinking and driving on a trip upstate. What an eye-opener that was. I knew I needed to put my life together after that but didn’t know how. I know some people in jail for the same charge. So I assumed that’s where I’d end up but thanks to the guys at DWI team, I got away from the situation with just a 2 point penalty on my license.

Dealing with a DWI charge is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Luckily, for me the DWI Team made a bad situation a lot more manageable. They know their stuff when it comes to different types of charges. I was in the thick of a DWI – and their Syracuse DWI Attorneys had my back, helping me get my life back on track, and I owe it to these guys.

If you ever find yourself in a situation like this it can be very overwhelming. Top shelf defense counsel with a network and advisory team is exactly what you will need. You will find all of this and more with The DWI Team! My family and I can’t thank you enough for the hard work and effort your team put in to get us the best possible outcome! Highly recommend The DWI Team to anyone!

Our client, a flight attendant, was charged with DWI and Driving with BAC over .08 after being stopped for speeding. With a BAC of .13 and failed sobriety tests, the case was complex, as a conviction could have cost him his job of 25 years. Our attorneys argued effectively, leading to the dismissal of all charges, preserving his record and employment.

Our client faced a DWI charge with a BAC of .27, potentially resulting in a lifelong criminal record. Our attorneys challenged the legality of the stop, arguing it was based solely on a welfare check. The officer admitted there were no traffic infractions. The judge ruled the stop invalid, suppressing all evidence and dismissing the case.

Our client, with prior DWI charges, was arrested after an off-duty officer suspected intoxication. Initially facing 1-3 years in state prison, our attorneys found inconsistencies in the evidence. They negotiated a plea deal for straight probation, allowing the client to avoid jail time and maintain employment.

Our client was arrested for DWI, Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident, and Failed to Keep Right. With a career as a Corrections Officer at risk, our attorneys negotiated with the DA’s Office, offering valuable information for felony prosecutions. In exchange, the case was dismissed, leaving our client without a criminal record and his career plans intact.
