New York, NY – Criminal defense and personal injury attorney Michael Dreishpoon announced that his office has successfully defended a 22 year old woman in a complicated and dramatic DWI case in Nassau County, the toughest county in the State of New York on DWI cases.After a 14 month struggle against determined county prosecutors, the case went to trial on January 12, 2016. At the conclusion of the week long trial, the jury returned a "Not Guilty" verdict after only 25 minutes of deliberations. "As I've always said, sometimes in life you've got to stand and fight," said Michael Dreishpoon, whose law practice is based in Queens. "Just make sure that you've got the right people by your side when you do so."
After a night out in November 2014, Dreishpoon's client enlisted a sober, designated driver to take her home in a vehicle leased by her family. Unfortunately, the car was struck by another driver on the way. Because her father had instructed her not to let anyone else drive the car, the distressed young woman informed a police officer at the scene that she, and not the designated driver, had been in operation of the vehicle at the time of the crash. Upon being administered a breathalyser test,
Dreishpoon's client blew a 0.19, more than two times the legal limit, and was immediately arrested. Although she corrected her account upon realizing the gravity of the situation, the woman was charged with Driving While Intoxicated.
After her family retained the services of Michael Dreishpoon, the attorney fought for more than one year to ensure Nassau County acknowledged the accurate facts of the case. Both the young woman and her designated driver testified at the trial, and the jury was persuaded by their testimonies and Dreishpoon's skilled arguments in the courtroom. The verdict is the most recent in Dreishpoon's long track record of trial victories in criminal and personal injury cases.
