If you are arrested in the capital district of New York for misdemeanor criminal charges, including driving with a suspended license, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, or for traffic violations such as speeding, failure to keep right or passing a stop light, you need an effective attorney to represent you as early in the process as possible.

It is not uncommon for a motorist charged with a Vehicle and Traffic offense to try to handle the matter themselves, but often find that they need the assistance of an experienced lawyer to obtain a reduction in the charges, or to defend them in a trial.
At the Arquette Law Firm, PLLC, we handle a variety of traffic offenses, including but not limited to Speeding,  Driving without a valid license, Driving on a suspended license,  Reckless driving, Stop sign and red light violations, driving while talking on the cell phone, failure to keep right, and traffic violations involving injury to people or damage to property .

There are consequences to simply sending in a plea of guilty to a ticket, and the consequences are more than just the imposition of a fine. A traffic violation, especially a speeding ticket, often results in points on your license which can dramatically increase your car insurance rates or lead to a suspension of your driving privileges. And often, a conviction to a traffic violation can also affect your ability to obtain a satisfactory reduction in charges in future offenses or can result in enhanced fines and license suspensions or revocations for future convictions.

Before you mail in your plea of guilty or pay a fine for a ticket, call our office for advice on how to protect your rights..

If you are arrested in the capital district of New York for Driving While Intoxicated or Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol or Drugs, you need an effective attorney to represent you as early in the process as possible.
The Arquette Law Firm, PLLC, handles misdemeanor level DWI matters as well as DWAI matters.

When charged with a DWI or DWAI, motorists risk a drunk driving conviction, driver's license suspension, ignition interlock device restrictions, and other threats to their driving privileges.

New York's drunk driving laws have undergone various changes in the most recent couple of years. These new changes to the DWI laws include increased penalties upon conviction, significant restrictions to future operation of a vehicle such as the ignition interlock device, the possibility of jail time, exorbitant fines and the loss of driving privileges. A conviction on a DWI results in a criminal history which could also affect your ability to obtain future employment.
If you have been charged with :

- Misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated (common law, or for blood alcohol content between .08 and .17 percent)

- Driving While Ability Impaired (blood alcohol content of .05 to .07, or while impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol)

- Aggravated Driving While Iintoxicated (blood alcohol content over .18 percent)
