The New York DWI Arrest and Defense

"Andrew was a big help in my DWI case in White Plains. We appeared in Court together and he always took time to explain my case and all of my options. Andrew even gave me his e-mail address and responded to my questions on weekends. I was lucky to have such an open and compassionate lawyer. I didn't know him from anyone when I found him on the internet but now I feel comfortable calling him anytime." -- Client Testimonial as posted on www.avvo.com.
