New York Criminal Defense and DWI Law

Nobody plans to become a defendant in a criminal case, but through a momentary lapse of judgment, or even a case of mistaken identity, it can happen to anyone. A criminal conviction, even for a misdemeanor, can haunt you for years, costing you employment, relationships, the opportunity to get an education, government benefits, and, of course, your freedom and reputation.

New York takes crime seriously, and throws significant resources behind police and prosecutors whose job is to get convictions, not to protect the accused. The only person looking out for your interests, making sure that you are treated fairly by an often unjust justice system, is your defense attorney.

The skill your attorney has, and the attention he gives to your case, makes a real difference to the outcome you get. At the Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos, PLLC, we understand exactly how much is at stake in your DWI case or other criminal matter. Our attorneys have the skill and experience to be the effective advocates you need, and are personally committed to guiding you through the stressful process of defending against criminal charges.
