The LAW OFFICE of  DAVID MCGRUDER, Esq.

 

DWI (Driving while intoxicated):

If you or a loved one has been arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), you need to contact an attorney immediately.  In New York, a Blood Alcohol Content of .008 is the legal limit as it was recently lowered from .010. 

It is important to retain an experienced attorney for a DWI arrest because just merely an arrest for this charge can lead to your license getting suspended and your car being impounded.  An experienced Criminal Defense Attorney can help you get your license back and obtain your car from police impound.  Furthermore, an experienced Attorney can in many cases effectively challenge the accuracy of the Police Blood Alcohol Content Reading, represent you in DMV “Refusal Hearings” and help investigate an accident scene if necessary.

Equally important as all of the above is that an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney can be an effective and zealous advocate at trial if necessary.  It is also extremely important to retain an attorney who can successfully negotiate plea deals that don’t saddle you or your loved ones with a criminal record.

David McGruder has handled hundreds of DWI cases both as a defense attorney and as a prosecutor.  He is an experienced trial attorney who is effective in arguing your case in front of a jury or Judge.  He is equally effective in getting his clients the best plea deals possible as he is a former prosecutor and is familiar with the policies and practices of many of prosecutor’s offices in the New York City area.  Give us a call at 212-747-9311 if you or your loved one has been charged with DWI  in New York City or a surrounding county, and take the first step toward returning your life to normal.

 

Weapons/Drug Charges:

- Gun Possession
- Possession of a Knife
- Drug Possession

Above are just some of the common weapons and drug charges here in New York. David McGruder is experienced in representing clients in all of these and more.

When you or a loved one is arrested for one of the above charges, it is extremely important that the person arrested does not speak to the police and retains an attorney immediately.  When someone is arrested for charges involving drugs or weapons, having an experienced attorney willing to zealously argue for the release of the person becomes extremely important because Judges in New York may set high (expensive) bail in drugs or weapons charges, thus keeping you or your loved one in jail while the case is pending.  It is extremely important to retain an attorney who can effectively argue to release you or your loved one in cases like this.  It is also equally important to retain an attorney who can effectively try cases like these before a jury or effectively negotiate the most favorable terms for a plea deal.

David McGruder has handled hundreds of drugs and weapons charges as both a criminal defense attorney and a prosecutor.  He is an experienced trial attorney who can effectively investigate thecharges against you or a loved one.  Please contact us right away at 212-747-9311 if you or a loved one is facing weapons or drug charges.
