I represented a financial professional facing Aggravated DWI charges under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192(2-a)(a). His career advancement was in jeopardy if convicted of this serious misdemeanor, and the Suffolk County District Attorney rarely agrees to reduce these charges because of the elevated blood alcohol reading. I negotiated a resolution that reduced the Aggravated DWI to a simple traffic infraction after one year of good behavior. His professional license and future career opportunities were fully secured.
