1) Alco Sensor

5 DWI Tips That May Help Your CaseWhen you are pulled over for a DWI, a police officer may, in most instances, ask you to take a portable breath test. We call that the Alco sensor. That is a handheld device that the officer uses to measure your blood alcohol in your system. This is not admissible in New York State court, but it does allow the officer to determine whether you have any alcohol in your system. It is just another tool they can use against you when determining whether or not you are driving while impaired or driving while intoxicated.

2) Choosing an Attorney

As an experienced Buffalo DWI Lawyer I am often asked “How do I pick a DWI lawyer or a criminal defense attorney?”

  • Talk to friends or family members who have used the lawyer before to get insight on the lawyer
  • Go online and read reviews about the lawyer as well

3) Costs of an Attorney

As an experienced Buffalo DWI Attorney, the first question I’m usually asked when I meet with someone is “how much does it cost to hire a DWI lawyer?”

  • Each case is determined on its own facts and circumstances.
  • I will look at your case and determine whether it will go to trial or there will be a plea
  • If the case gets worked out as a plea the expenses are typically less expensive than if the case goes to trial

4) Defending Yourself in Court

As an experienced Buffalo DWI Lawyer I am often asked why a client can’t defend themselves in court.

  • The courts will not allow you to defend yourself in a DWI case

5) Sobriety Tests

As an experienced Buffalo DWI Lawyer I am often asked about sobriety tests.

  • You are under no obligation to take sobriety tests
  • You can take and refuse these tests without any penalty
