Brian Berkowitz

In his tenure as a prosecutor, Brian Berkowitz was appointed by the District Attorney of Rockland County as the Senior Assistant District Attorney overseeing the Vehicular Crimes and Driving While Intoxicated Bureau. In this leadership position, he was responsible for training prosecutors and evaluating all motor vehicle-related offenses and DWI cases presented to the DA's Office. He also personally managed the most serious misdemeanor and felony cases from inception through trial.

As a Criminal Defense and Traffic Ticket Attorney, Brian leverages his comprehensive knowledge and experience from both sides of the criminal justice system to effectively defend clients charged with Driving While Intoxicated and other criminal and traffic offenses in Rockland County and across New York State.

A Driving While Intoxicated (DWI / DUI) charge can lead to criminal penalties and significantly impact your driving privileges from the first court appearance. New York State laws allow for the immediate suspension of driving privileges based solely on an alleged blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, or for refusing a chemical test to determine blood alcohol concentration.

Regarding Traffic and Speeding Tickets, many hidden costs arise from pleading guilty to quickly resolve the issue. Many drivers are unaware that an attorney can often contest a ticket without the driver needing to appear in court.

If you or a loved one faces charges related to Driving While Intoxicated, Traffic or Speeding Tickets, or any other Criminal matter, please contact Brian Berkowitz for a free consultation to discuss your case.
