Law Firm Overview

I’m Tom Anelli, the DWI Guy. My law firm brings together a powerful team of DWI defense attorneys with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We work as a team to take advantage of all opportunities to protect our clients from the serious consequences of DWI charges.

Based in Syracuse, we serve clients throughout New York. Our attorneys attend national training conferences and have been certified as instructors in field sobriety and breath testing. In most cases, we understand these tests better than the officers who administer them. We have authored books and articles on DWI defense, and we are regularly called upon to train other lawyers on DWI law.

My firm consists of eight attorneys based in our main office in Syracuse, as well as a network of more than 40 lawyers statewide who associate with us regularly on a case-by-case basis. To the best of my knowledge no other DWI Defense firm in New York State has the powerful combination of local lawyers (providing local knowledge and relationships), and Supervising Lawyers (providing national training, certifications and DWI focus).

We believe this collaborative lawyering process lends itself to our clients receiving "the Best of Both Worlds", and makes them most likely to obtain the best possible outcome, whatever the circumstances are involved in their case.

Practice Areas Description

Our attorneys attend national training conferences and have been certified as instructors in field sobriety and breath testing. In most cases, we understand these tests better than the officers who administer them.

We have authored books and articles on DWI defense, and we are regularly called upon to train other lawyers on DWI law. We are available to address your concerns about any of the following:

New York drunk driving laws: New York has a complex system of laws addressing DWI and other alcohol and drug-related offenses. The attorneys at my firm are intimately familiar with these laws.

Consequences of a DWI charge: If you have been charged with DWI, you could be facing jail time, fines and license suspension. These penalties can have significant consequences, especially for professionals and commercial drivers.

The DWI process: New York handles most aspects of DWI charges through the criminal justice system, but the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) also holds license suspension hearings in certain cases.

DWI prosecution and defense methods: Police and prosecutors have many tools they can use against DWI defendants, but there are also many opportunities for experienced defense lawyers to fight DWI charges.

Common mistakes in a DWI case: To fully protect your rights after a DWI arrest, you need to take the right steps as quickly as possible and avoid common pitfalls.

College drinking and DWI: Students are among the most common groups of people charged with DWI. We are experienced at defending them against these charges.

Out-of-state drivers charged with DWI in New York: If you've been arrested for DWI in New York, it is important to hire a DWI lawyer that knows New York DWI law, and understands the science behind DWI prosecution.
