    ATTORNEY BIO: MIKE LITMAN

    DWI ARRESTS

    The truth is, no one ever intends to get a DWI. Circumstances often dictate our actions, and there is not a person alive who has not made the occasional bad decision. But with a DWI, the critical issue is not what happened — it’s how you react to it.

    DRUG CHARGES

    Drug laws vary depending on several variables: the type of drug, the amount, and the charges – whether it is simply possession, trafficking, or any of a number of other circumstances.

    WEAPONS CHARGES & CRIMES

    Because of the diversity of the state, both in its population density and geography, gun laws in New York are relatively complex. Most laws apply to the entire state, but more specific laws on top of the federal and state laws apply to specific areas, including New York City.

    ASSAULT CHARGES

    Assault: The severity of an assault charge depends on the level of injury, whether a weapon was used, what type of weapon was used, and who the victim was.

    LARCENY & THEFT

    Theft is generally defined as taking another’s property without consent. Often used as a synonym for larceny, it is essentially considered stealing. As with most legal terms and definitions, it can be a bit more complicated.
