  • Firm attorney James A. McDonaugh served as a Suffolk County prosecutor for over six years and knows how prosecutors will likely handle your case

Have you been arrested for drunk driving? For experienced criminal defense legal help on Long Island, contact the lawyers at Phillips, Weiner, Artura & Cox at 631-226-2100.

Your defense strategy following drunk driving charges and the potential penalties will depend on a variety of questions, including:

  • Is this your first offense?
  • Was property damaged?
  • Was anyone injured?
  • What was your blood alcohol content (BAC)?
  • Did the police make errors?
  • Was breath and blood test machinery properly functioning?

We can investigate the administration of your breath test and other elements of your case, and then negotiate to have your charges reduced or dismissed. In many cases where evidence is overwhelming, we have successfully negotiated to have charges reduced to "driving while impaired," which carries significantly lower penalties. We have a long track record of success in getting charges dismissed or fines significantly reduced, or in negotiating a suspension instead of the revocation of our client's license.

Before pleading guilty and resigning yourself to a criminal record, loss of driving privileges and large fines, first contact us for a no-charge discussion of your case.
