to the home page of Frank J. Raso, Esq. If you or someone you care about has been arrested for DWI or DWAI, help is just a phone call away. With a 20-year record of success in DWI and criminal defense, Frank Raso is known as one of the Hudson Valley's most experienced and knowledgeable DWI lawyers.

A conviction for Driving While Intoxicated is serious, even if no one is hurt. It means you will carry a criminal record for the rest of your life. Yet the fact is that more innocent people are accused and convicted of DWI than any other crime. Few people realize that the breath test devices are not always accurate. The disturbing truth is this: justice is not always served in DWI convictions.

That is why anyone accused of this serious offense should seek out an attorney with a strong background in this highly specialized area of the law. Frank Raso concentrates his practice in DWI and related criminal offenses.

If you are in the process of choosing a lawyer to handle a DWI case, Frank Raso has some advice: "Interview the attorney. Make sure that you are dealing with someone who specializes in DWI, not someone who handles a couple of cases each year. Ask them how many DWI cases they have tried. Ask how many they have won. Ask them whether they have ever challenged the Breathalyzer® or the infrared breath test, and how that challenge turned out."

Frank Raso believes strongly in the presumption of innocence guaranteed under our Constitution. "The DWI defendant has the same right to a vigorous defense as anyone else accused of a crime--but all too often, he or she doesn't get it," he says. If Frank Raso takes your case, you will get a strong defense from an experienced lawyer with a record of results. You can reach Frank Raso at (845) 358-5115.
