After a bench trial, John Ingrassia secured a complete acquittal on behalf of the firm’s client who was facing a criminal DWI charge in the Town of New Windsor (Orange County). The New Windsor Police Department accused our client of DWI after she was involved in a car accident with a truck that turned out of a parking lot into her lane of travel, which caused her to suffer a concussion. A security camera near the accident plainly showed that the accident was not our client’s fault. With that evidence, fact witnesses who testified that our client was sober before getting behind the wheel, and the assistance of an expert witness in the field of DWI detection and standardized field sobriety tests, Mr. Ingrassia convinced the judge that our client was neither intoxicated nor impaired while she drove. Notably, the firm also prevailed at the administrative chemical test refusal hearing held by DMV by proving that law enforcement failed to inform our client that her request to speak with an attorney about whether to take the breath test would be honored or considered a refusal. This result allowed our client to keep her full New York driving privileges.
