Evan Levow Can Help Even If You’ve Been Charged With A Prior DWI

Everyone makes mistakes, and many of the clients that Mr. Levow has assisted have faced DWI charges in the past. These prior convictions can be counted against you for sentencing purposes in your current case. Through a process called post conviction relief, we can look at past cases to see if anything was done improperly. We have an excellent success rate in getting prior cases dismissed, sometimes multiple years later.  If you have a prior DWI / DUI conviction, please ask us about post conviction relief.
