Let Us Help You Get Your Car Back After a DWI Arrest

Posted by Steven G. Brill | Jun 22, 2016 | 0 Comments

If you have been arrested and charged with DWI in New York, it is likely that your car was seized as well. The seizure of your vehicle can make an already traumatic situation much worse. Even if you have not been found guilty of the charge, the NYPD has authority to seize your car because under civil law they will claim that there is cause to believe that your car was used as an instrument of the crime.

Often times, our clients do not own the car they driving at the time or they may own the car, but are financing the car from the dealer or a leasing agent. Either way, doing what it takes to get back the car can be a major inconvenience and cause you immense amounts of frustration. Not only are you faced with a criminal charge, but you have to focus on complying with the endless conditions in order to convince the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office to return your car. The criminal attorneys at Sullivan & Brill can help and make this process much more efficient and convenient for you.

A Legal Firm You Can Trust

We have years of experience dealing with the District Attorney's office and the NYPD legal bureau when it comes to getting our client's car returned. We know which clerk to speak to at the DA's office, which attorney to speak to at the NYPD Legal Bureau, and who to contact at the pound itself (either Red Hook or near Laguardia Airport) to facilitate an end to this ordeal.

Furthermore, we know exactly what to advise our client's to do so that they will have everything they need – including the proper paperwork, identification, and form of payment. It is tough enough to deal with the DWI charge in and of itself, let us represent you when it comes to getting back your car so you can move on with your life.

If you've been arrested for a DUI or DWI in New York, it's extremely important that you contact our law firm right away. An arrest is not a conviction, and there is still hope to begin building the defense you need to secure a favorable outcome.
