At the Rockland County law firm of Montalbano, Condon & Frank, P.C., we defend people against DWI charges. We are dedicated to protecting clients' rights and making sure that law enforcement personnel followed prescribed procedures. There can be significant variation in the administration of blood alcohol content (BAC) tests, breathalyzer tests and field sobriety tests. This can affect what charge the defendant receives.

Many drivers stopped for DWI wonder whether they should refuse to take a breathalyzer test. If you refuse, your license will be suspended and you will need to attend a DMV hearing to recover it. We attend such hearings with clients, making sure that the police had probable cause for the traffic stop and whether you were informed about the possible loss of your license if you refuse a test. You must appear at the hearing within 10 days. Otherwise, your license will be revoked for up to one year. It is critical to have experienced counsel with you at this hearing to protect your rights.

Depending on the level of the drunk driving charge, our attorneys may be able to negotiate alternate penalties. Some of our clients have performed community service in lieu of jail time. Others have obtained reduced sentences. Our law firm has been defending people in Rockland County against charges such as DWAI (driving while alcohol-impaired) and aggravated DWI (driving with a blood alcohol content of .18 or higher) since 1973. We understand the local court rules, know the prosecutors and are known as credible lawyers when defending against DWI charges.
