Incredible Attorney I highly recommend Derek Andrews to any and everyone. His work in and outside of the courtroom is second to none. He seemingly never stops working. His knowledge is vast and he never misses an opportunity to learn and grow. Anything that needed to be explained to me was done so thoroughly, while always being sure what was being discussed was fully understood. Being in a situation where you are in need of an attorney is stressful enough. Many treat you as just another client. I’ve personally been spoken down to by others in the past. Derek treats you with respect and as an equal. Always makes himself available to you for questions and concerns. He doesn’t just work for you, he works with you. To me, this is one of the best qualities a professional can have.

Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. If my gf on several occasions demands to kill a person she is jealous of is that a crime in NY?
A: Probably not, but an attorney would have to know much more about the context, what was said, what was done, etc. before an accurate answer could be given. If you’re concerned, consult with a criminal defense attorney.
Q. Passed breathalyzer (of course,) failed field sobriety so officer charged me with dui based on that.
A: There could be multiple innocent causes for failure of field sobriety tests, and there are grounds to attack the police officer’s performance of these tests. If you were charged with a crime, I would highly recommend you consult with an attorney experienced in DWI defense so you can protect your rights.
