No Guarantee of Results

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. The outcome of each legal case depends upon many factors, including the facts of the case, and no attorney can guarantee a positive result in any particular case. The DWI TEAM and Nave Law Firm and its attorneys, including of counsel attorneys make no guarantees, warranties, or predictions about the outcome of your legal case.

Attorney-Client Relationship

No attorney-client relationship is created between you and the DWI TEAM or Nave Law Firm or its attorneys by viewing this website, by completing our online form, or by contacting our attorneys. Only after the DWI TEAM or Nave Law Firm confirms in writing that it has accepted you as a client is an attorney-client relationship formed.

The DWI TEAM and Nave Law Firm generally represent defendants on a flat fee basis, with the exception of the cost of trial. We feel that there is no need for a client to pay in advance for something that they may never need.

Practice of Law

Nave Law Firm’s attorneys and Of Counsel attorneys is admitted to practice in New York, as well as some courts in other jurisdictions. The firm’s attorneys have also been admitted in various federal and state courts for the purposes of appearing in court for a particular case. Where necessary, the DWI TEAM and Nave Law Firm operates with the assistance of local counsel in jurisdictions outside New York.

Our results speak for themselves.

Our client was involved in a head-on collision and charged with DWI. In light of her prior DWAI conviction, she faced possible jail time and revocation of her driver license. Our efforts on her behalf yielded a result that pleased the client and her husband. She pleaded guilty to the reduced count of DWAI and a traffic violation, and she avoided the more serious penalties allowed by law.

Our client is an air traffic controller for the Army and holds a security clearance. He was snowmobiling the night of his arrest and was stopped on his way home for operating a snowmobile after midnight. He was arrested and taken to the station where he blew a .23. Our attorneys explained that our client would lose his job/career with a misdemeanor conviction. By presenting legal proof regarding the BAC and equities tied to his career, we were able to obtain an SWAI (no criminal) result, protect our client’s job, and have the record of his conviction sealed.

Law enforcement said our client had a BAC of 0.21 and had caused an accident in which he rolled his vehicle. During extensive negotiations with the prosecution, we were able to demonstrate that the accident was caused by inclement weather and our client had extensive equities from prior military combat experience. The result was an offer to a DWAI which is a non-criminal traffic infraction that – due to the accident and high BAC – was significantly outside of the District Attorney’s reduction policy.

Our client’s initial offer was to plead guilty to a DWI, with a BAC of .27. This would leave our client with a criminal record for the rest of his life. We believed there was an issue with the stop, so we pushed forward. At hearings the officer said he stopped the vehicle because of a welfare check. He admitted there were no traffic infractions and that the stop was based solely on the concern for the wife. After the hearings, we submitted a memo of law outlining our issues. In the end, the Judge ruled that this was in fact, a bad stop and suppressed all the evidence and as a result, the case was dismissed.

Our client was arrested for DWI, Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident, and Failed to Keep Right. It was unclear if our client or his friend was driving. Our client was very concerned as he is in the process of becoming a Corrections Officer and a DWI conviction would make that difficult, if not impossible. Our attorneys discovered our client was in possession of valuable information that could assist the DA’s Office in felony prosecutions. In exchange for our client’s cooperation with all testimony at Grand Jury the DA’s Office dismissed the case in the interests of justice. Our client was left with no criminal record and his career plan of becoming a Corrections Officer intact.
