Traffic Violations & DWI Defense in Nassau, Suffolk, & NYC

A traffic violation or DWI charge in New York can have serious consequences, including fines, points on your license, increased insurance premiums, and potential license suspension or revocation. According to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), accumulating 11 points within 18 months can lead to a suspended license, while certain violations like driving without insurance carry mandatory penalties, including a one-year license revocation and a $750 civil penalty. 

With over 20 years of experience, our attorneys at Stein & Stein provide aggressive legal defense against traffic infractions, misdemeanor offenses, and DWI charges, working to reduce penalties and protect your driving record. For most non-criminal charges, we can appear in court on your behalf, ensuring you don’t have to miss work or other obligations.

Our firm has direct access to New York State DMV driving records, allowing us to review your abstract and provide precise legal guidance on how a specific ticket may impact your driving privileges. We have successfully secured charge reductions for 90% of our clients facing license suspensions, registration violations, and reckless driving charges, helping them avoid permanent criminal records. Even minor infractions, such as speeding or failure to signal, can lead to fines ranging from $150 to $1,500, increased insurance rates, and DMV penalties. Our attorneys challenge improper traffic stops, flawed radar readings, and procedural violations to fight for dismissals or reduced penalties.

For DWI and DUI charges, penalties can be severe, including fines up to $10,000, mandatory ignition interlock devices, and possible jail time. In fact, a first-time DWI conviction in New York can result in a six-month license suspension and up to a $1,000 fine, while multiple offenses can lead to felony charges. We aggressively defend clients by analyzing breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test procedures, and constitutional violations, often securing plea reductions or dismissals.

Beyond fines and license suspensions, traffic convictions can have lasting financial consequences. Many insurers increase premiums by up to 30% after a single moving violation, and professional drivers may face job loss due to strict employer policies on traffic records. Our firm prioritizes protecting your license, reducing financial burdens, and preventing long-term consequences.
