Driving Offenses

Whatever traffic violation you have been charged with, O’Connell and Aronowitz criminal defense attorneys can help you mount a proactive, intelligent defense. We routinely practice in traffic courts in across the Capital District and Upstate New York areas. We represent people who have been arrested or cited for driving offenses of all types, including: 

  • Vehicular Manslaughter
  • Vehicular Assault
  • DWI/DWAI
  • Fleeing the Scene of an Accident
  • Reckless or Careless Driving
  • Driving After Suspension or Revocation
  • Common traffic infractions such as speeding and other moving violations

For all of these offenses we know how to handle your case in the criminal courts, the traffic courts and with the Department of Motor Vehicles. In addition to potential criminal charges for certain driving offenses, there are many other consequences that the Department of Motor Vehicles may administratively impose such as civil fines, license suspensions and points on your license. We can advise you of these collateral consequences, help you avoid pitfalls, or mitigate the inconvenience and harm to you.
