Drug Offenses

Anyone accused of a drug crime should contact an attorney before speaking to the police. An experienced lawyer can defend the rights of the accused, while thoroughly investigating the arrest to find out whether the police or federal agents violated any search and seizure regulations under the Constitution. Any violation of these laws and regulations may lead to suppression of the evidence and may get a case dropped entirely. Should drug treatment be a viable resolution to your case, we then coordinate with substance abuse counselors and court liaisons to resolve your case with a non-jail disposition, getting you the help you need.

DWIs

Being arrested for drunk driving (DWI) can be a frightening and confusing experience for you or your loved ones. In New York, people are often surprised when the realize that if your breathalyzer reading is over a .08% or if you refuse to take a breath or blood test, your license will be immediately and automatically suspended - even before a finding of guilt or innocence. Being that your livelihood and career may depend on your driver’s license, it is imperative that you hire an attorney immediately.

If you’ve been arrested for drunken driving (DWI), work on your defense must begin right away. At Edelman, Krasin & Jaye you have an attorney who will begin to fight to get your license back, retrieve all police paperwork in connection with the arrest, investigate the accuracy of the breath or blood tests that may have been administered, prepare evidence to convince a court to grant you a temporary (hardship) license, and if you refused a breath or blood test, prepare for a “refusal hearing”.

Traffic Tickets

More than a simple annoyance, vehicle and traffic violations can affect your insurance rates, your license status, and possibly even your job if you drive for a living. If you get a traffic ticket, it is not advisable to represent yourself. Be aware that traffic matters can also be charged as Misdemeanors, which are crimes, not violations. Saying the wrong thing in court, or agreeing to a “deal” with a prosecutor, may be irreversible. Matters such as points on your license, suspensions, revocations, or potentially even jail must be considered and dealt with by an experienced attorney. We take these matters seriously. At Edelman, Krasin and Jaye we have defended thousands of vehicle and traffic violation cases, and many of them are taken to trial. Our attorneys represent a wide variety of drivers from beginners to seniors, and have successfully focused on the area of defending truck drivers who receive violations. Our goal is to defend the charges and help keep your driving record clean!
