Brian Berkowitz - New York Lawyer Profile

While serving as a prosecutor, Brian Berkowitz was designated by the District Attorney of Rockland County as the Senior Assistant District Attorney overseeing the Vehicular Crimes and Driving While Intoxicated Bureau. In this capacity, he supervised the training of prosecutors and the evaluation of all motor vehicle-related crimes and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI / DUI) cases presented to the DA’s Office. Additionally, he personally managed the most severe misdemeanor and felony cases from initiation to trial. As a Criminal Defense and Traffic Ticket Lawyer, Brian Berkowitz has applied his understanding and extensive experience from both sides of the criminal justice system to vigorously advocate for individuals facing charges of Driving While Intoxicated and various Criminal and Traffic offenses in Rockland County and across New York State. A Driving While Intoxicated (DWI / DUI) offense, in contrast to many other offenses, not only carries criminal penalties but also triggers significant consequences on driving privileges right from the initial court appearance. New York State laws permit the immediate suspension of driving privileges based on an alleged blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, as well as the automatic suspension of driving privileges for refusing to undergo a chemical test for blood alcohol concentration. When it comes to Traffic and Speeding Tickets, there are numerous hidden expenses linked with pleading guilty to the ticket in order to swiftly resolve the matter. Furthermore, many motorists are unaware that in most cases, an attorney can contest a ticket WITHOUT the driver needing to personally appear in court. If you or a loved one is facing charges of Driving While Intoxicated, has received a Traffic or Speeding Ticket, or is involved in any other Criminal case, we encourage you to reach out to Brian Berkowitz for a complimentary consultation to discuss your situation.
