Traffic Violations and DWI Defense
At the office of Michael P. Malone Attorney at Law, located in East Quogue, New York, we competently and aggressively represent our clients charged with various traffic violations, misdemeanor, and felony DWI's, throughout the Hamptons as well as Suffolk County. Being charged while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can impact you differently, depending on the other factors in play. Alleged blood alcohol level (BAC), refusing the breathalyzer test, having a child present in the car, having a previous DWI history, or if you were involved in an accident, can alter your circumstances from obtaining a simple violation to a felony DWI.
When dealing with speeding or other traffic violations, we offer our support for you and can appear in court on your behalf. We commonly negotiate plea arrangements, allowing for no additional points being counted towards your driver's license. Additional points often lead to increased insurance rates from your carrier and add on more fees from the DMV. It is important to be informed of the potential changes in the point system as well as the decrease in license suspension threshold under consideration at this time.
To better protect yourself, it is advised to contact and consult with an experienced DWI lawyer as soon as possible. We offer a free case evaluation while aiding in protecting your rights and driving privileges, and helping to prevent missing any important and early deadlines. We provide you with a competent lawyer necessary in the legal defense for DWI's, criminal, and traffic charges in the courts listed below. Our office also represents clients in real estate law matters. Both purchasers and sellers should be aware of the recent changes to the Peconic Tax (Purchaser) as well as the Property Disclosure requirement (Seller).
