DUI / DWI is NOT considered a criminal offense unless certain criteria are met |
In addition to DUI / DWI charges, our Bronx DWI / Hackensack DUI attorneys also handle a wide range of traffic-related charges and violations, including:
- Speeding tickets, including construction zone, school zone violations, and racing
- Careless driving and reckless driving
- Underage DWI
- Driving while license or registration is suspended or revoked, and driving with expired registration
- Felony death by vehicle, manslaughter or negligent homicide involving a motor vehicle, and hit and run

The cost of traffic tickets goes far beyond any fine you may be assessed by the Court. Your insurance premiums could increase anywhere from 25% to 400% after a traffic conviction! Many people just pay the ticket when a knowledgeable attorney, in many cases, would be able to save their driving record and keep their insurance rates from increasing. What many individuals don't realize or consider is that traffic violations will affect your record and premiums for years and can cause increased penalties for any future violations.
Whether you are facing DUI / DWI / DWAI or other traffic-related charges, you can rely on the skilled, aggressive attorneys at DiLorenzo & Rush to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
