Why Choose New York Criminal Defense Attorney Robert Schuster to Defend You on a DWI Charge?

Defending a client charged with DWI requires a tactical approach dependent not only upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the defendant and his actions, but upon the degree to which law enforcement adhered to the exacting standards required by statute.

After successfully handling hundreds of DWI, Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs, and DWAI cases, Attorney Schuster has developed a multi-pronged approach to DWI defense that unfolds in several stages between intake interview, arraignment, and litigation approaching disposition or trial. During these phases Attorney Schuster, makes certain discovery demands and determines the strategic significance of engaging in pre-suspension and pretrial hearings. This litigation may include a hardship hearing, a refusal hearing if you refused to take a breath test, a Pringle hearing challenging the sufficiency of the accusatory instruments, a Dunaway hearing prior to trial challenging the probable cause of the stop, a Huntley hearing attempting to suppress statements made to law enforcement officers, and other forms of pre-trial litigation.

In certain cases, where these hearings would cause more prejudice than assistance to the defendant, Attorney Schuster's experience in negotiations become extremely valuable. Coupled with a vast knowledge of Court sanctioned drug and alcohol treatment alternatives, Attorney Schuster leverages the positive completion or progress in these programs into favorable dispositions and desirable case outcomes.
