DWI Lawyer for New York

New York DWI and Traffic Violations Attorney

At my practice, Jonathan D. Katz, Attorney at Law, I protect the rights and driver's licenses of people accused of traffic offenses, including:

I represent people accused of DWI and traffic violations in courts throughout Ulster County, Orange County, the Hudson Valley and the Catskills. In traffic ticket cases, I can represent you without need for your appearance in court.

Successful DWI Defense Strategies

Despite what you have heard, it may be possible to successfully defend a DWI charge based on the facts of the case. The police officer may not have had probable cause to stop your car and investigate. The breath testing procedures may have been improperly conducted or the equipment faulty. There may even be biological reasons why your blood alcohol test was over the limit. These and other facts may provide the means for a successful defense of your DWI charge.

I will carefully examine all aspects of your case. In consultation with you, I will explain your legal options and the likely outcomes of those options. You will have the information you need to make an intelligent decision about your case.

If your decision is to contest the DWI charge, I will represent you energetically with the goal of obtaining a dismissal or reduction in the charge. In other cases, the State's evidence may be strong, and it may make sense to seek an outcome that mitigates the penalties you incur. Whatever your decision, I will work to present a strong case designed to protect your rights and ability to drive.

Traffic Violations

A traffic ticket can put points on your driver's license. Too many points can lead to an increase in your insurance premiums and the possible suspension of your license. Before you pay a traffic fine, contact me. I may be able to reduce your ticket to a lesser charge, or get it dismissed.

A point schedule for traffic violations appears on the Speeding and Traffic Violations page.

Elizabeth

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Diane

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
