## Case Results
- [Brooklyn Real Estate Broker Charged with DWI on Shelter Island](https://edpalermo.com/case-result/dwi-brooklyn-broker-dismissed/): I represented a Brooklyn resident, a successful real estate broker, facing DWI charges on Long Island\. The District Attorney refused to reduce the charge to a non\-criminal violation because of a prior DWI arrest\. I identified a procedural flaw in the prosecution's handling of the case and filed a motion to dismiss\. The court granted the motion in its entirety and the case was dismissed completely, protecting his professional license and livelihood\.
- [Northport Aggravated DWI Reduced to DWAI](https://edpalermo.com/case-result/agg-dwi-northport-dwai-reduction/): I represented a client in Northport Village Court charged with aggravated DWI on a chemical reading in excess of \.20, well above the \.18 aggravated threshold and the kind of number that gives most people little hope\. Drawing on my familiarity with that court and the Suffolk prosecutors who cover it, I was able to negotiate a reduction all the way down to driving while ability impaired, the non\-criminal traffic infraction\.
- [MRI Technician Charged with Forcible Touching in Nassau County](https://edpalermo.com/case-result/sex-offense-mri-tech-not-guilty/): I represented a young MRI technician in Nassau County District Court facing a serious allegation of forcible touching by a patient\. My client maintained his complete innocence, so I rejected the District Attorney's plea offer and took the case to trial\. The verdict was NOT GUILTY, and my client's career and life were restored\.
- [Riverhead \.17 DWI Reduced to DWAI](https://edpalermo.com/case-result/dwi-riverhead-17-dwai-reduction/): I represented a client in Riverhead Town Justice Court charged with driving while intoxicated under VTL 1192\(2\), on a chemical reading of \.17\. That is a number most people assume leaves no room to work with\. It sits just under the \.18 aggravated threshold, and the Suffolk County District Attorney's office rarely agrees to reduce a charge at that level\. Getting a reduction on a reading like that in this particular courthouse is harder still, because in Riverhead the deal does not end with the prosecutor\.
- [Second Degree Criminal Contempt, Order of Protection](https://edpalermo.com/case-result/criminal-contempt-2nd-dismissed/): I represented a client charged with violating an order of protection\. I demonstrated that my client had a legitimate reason for the contact and that no willful violation occurred, and the charge was dismissed\.
