Contact the Kingston law firm of Jonathan R. Sennett, P.C. to learn about the range of options for resolving a DWI case on favorable terms.
We help you deal with both the criminal and civil consequences of DWI
We investigate the circumstances of your arrest, the breath or field sobriety test results and any prior DWI or DUI convictions to make an accurate assessment of your chances at trial in defense of the criminal charges. We also look at the overall impact that the arrest or a potential conviction might have on other aspects of your personal or professional life.
If you are facing a license suspension in conjunction with your DWI charge, we can help you get a hardship license while your criminal case is pending or a restricted license after a guilty plea or conviction. If you are a student, we can advise you about the best ways to protect your academic scholarships, federal loans and campus housing rights. If you're a professional driver, our skill with DWI defense can protect your livelihood while concentrating on the risk of a suspended commercial driver's license.
Criminal defense attorney Jonathan Sennett represents people charged with DWI or DWAI in Ulster County, Dutchess County, Orange County or the Hudson Valley on the New York Thruway. The firm's clients include drivers from other states, and in most cases, we can handle your defense without you even having to return to New York State.
Our clients include first offenders and people with prior DWI convictions
We also advise and represent clients facing more serious repeat or felony DWI charges. In many cases, our clients' interests will be best served if we can negotiate a criminal DWI charge down to a noncriminal DWAI traffic infraction, but these options will not normally be available on more severe charges. Whenever it's in our clients' interests to do so, we can take your case to trial and put the government to the strict proof of every essential fact necessary to support a conviction.
