Criminal Defense

Speeding tickets and traffic violations sometimes warrant the actions of a criminal defense lawyer. Although many people prefer to pay the fine, this can cause your insurance rates to go up over time. A New York State criminal defense attorney may be able to have the speeding ticket dismissed through an agreement to take a driving class for example.

DUI / DWI charges are more serious and can include jail time, significant fines, the loss of one’s driver’s license, and increase in your insurance rate and emotional trauma.

Although we have represented those charged with felonies, it is not the focus of our practice and we would consider the facts of our client’s case carefully prior to referring any of our clients elsewhere.

If you have received an Albany County or New York State speeding ticket, DUI / DWI charge or misdemeanor, we urge you to call or contact our Latham New York law firm to schedule an appointment.
