COVID-19 Update : We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. We have limited staff in the office for the mandated real estate closings, and staff working from home to complete all your legal needs. We are now setup for outdoor (under cover) social distance Will signings, Power of Attorneys and Health Care Proxies. You can contact Robert Gurbacki at
716-652-0828 Ext. 304 or email at [email protected]. Of course, we would have rather personal meetings with our clients, but until we can do it safely, everything will be done remotely and at a safe social distance for necessary signatures. No contact will be made. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Protecting Your Rights After A DWI Charge

Driving while ability impaired (DWAI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are always serious offenses — especially if you injure or kill someone with your vehicle. Whenever you are faced with a DWI charge, you face serious consequences and require representation by a qualified DWI lawyer.

If you are charged with a DWI, call 716-243-3515 to defend your license and prevent potential penalties.

Protection From Significant Penalties

The penalties for a DWI can be significant, including:

  • Attendance at a victim impact panel
  • Dramatic increases in your automobile insurance premiums
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device
  • Jail time
  • Large fines
  • Mandatory NYS surcharges
  • Points on your driver’s license
  • Payment of a driver assessment fee
  • Personal injury claims if you hit someone with your vehicle
  • Potential criminal conviction
  • Potential manslaughter or murder charges
  • Suspension of driving privileges
  • Suspension or revocation of your license

The actions that you take if you are stopped for a DWI can greatly impact your case. Read our list of the Top Five Things To Do If Stopped For DWI for helpful advice.
