DWI is my favorite area of defense work - they can happen to anyone and the stakes are high for them and their families. I give every one of my clients my very best so they may successfully get on with their lives.

Rex Pietrobono

I am in my late 20s and I got pulled over for speeding when I was arrested for a DWI. This was my first offense, my first time ever getting arrested. I was nervous, and scared – I had made a mistake so huge that it could have far-reaching effects for the rest of my life. I knew strong representat...ion in court was critical. I was home a few days following my arrest, searching for a lawyer to represent me in court, when I came across Rex Pietrobono’s website. My initial visit to Rex’s office made it clear that he would be the guy for me. He was interested right away— gathering information and facts which he’d later use in my defense. Honesty was a two-way street and he cautioned about the charges and consequences I could potentially face: the worst-case scenario. Rex knew I was worried, he wanted to warn me that these serious charges could have a great impact on me, and this helped in understanding what he believed the best approach would be to a defense. Over the course of a couple weeks Rex and I were in communication preparing for court. I was able to take certain preemptive measures at the advice of my lawyer- who was able to have numerous discussions with the prosecutors, the DA, and the court clerk- so we were prepared going in. I was pleased with the outcome, after being SO nervous the morning of court. Rex’s experience combined with his personality and astute ability in his practice was nothing short of perfect. He walked me through every step of the way. Rex was personable; He was clear; He fights for you behind the scenes, and he’ll do everything in his power to get you an excellent outcome.

Rex is an excellent DWI lawyer!

I needed a lawyer because I got a DWI, 1st offense. I did my research and thought that Rex Pietrobono would be a good choice, and I was right! Rex is down to earth and knows his stuff. I enjoyed working with him. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Rex represented my case just ...as we discussed and the out come was all that I'd hoped for. The tickets were reduced! I needed a lot done quickly because I wasn't with a lawyer at my original court date. Rex was able to do his part and also get me on track with what I needed to get done before the upcoming trial. Thanks Rex!

Rex to the rescue!

Rex was recommended to me by another lawyer I knew from Connecticut as one of the best attorneys for DWI cases in Westchester county. In my case, there was an accident involved and a refusal to take a breathalyzer test. Rex went to work during the refusal hearing, he did not leave any room for misi...nterpretation of the events by all parties involved. He was concise and efficient in handling my case and we won my refusal hearing when only a very small percentage of these hearings ever end in the defendant's favor - so the odds were against us. He did a fantastic job assisting me with everything that had to be done at DMV and in the criminal court. Even the judge, who was against us from the very beginning, turned around in the end after Rex showed the prosecutor the trouble with their case against me. What's important is that my case ended with no criminal record whatsoever and my driving privilege fully restored. I would recommend Rex to anyone and everyone in NY with a DWI charge. - Amanda K.

“Excellent Choice to Handle DWI”

We were looking for a miracle worker to take over our son’s DWI case and found Rex Pietrobono. Before finding Mr. Pietrobono, we had prior counsel and were in total despair, knowing the seriousness of the DWI charges and how severe the consequences could be. Our prayers were answered when we found ...Rex. Not only did he put his experience, heart and soul into the case, he went above and beyond to help our son keep his life on track. With his ongoing efforts, the results exceeded our expectations. We were very blessed to have had Mr. Pietrobono take over and handle the case for our son. It was truly a reward and pleasure to work with this outstanding attorney. Mary S.

Life Saver

I want to take a moment to write about my experience with the Law Office of Rex M Pietrobono. Briefly, I was pulled over after leaving a club and was charged with DWI. After 43 years of driving without incident, this was the worst thing to happen to me. From the moment we met, Rex listened careful...ly and explained what needed to be done prior to the court date. Rex knew the process so well and was prepared for my day in court. In fact, there were 6 attorneys present representing other cases and Rex blew them away in professionalism and being prepared with all documentation the Judge required. During this process, I can say without hesitation that I felt more like a friend to Rex because of the way he treated me. Rex displayed sincere desire to help me and I always felt confident under his care. Without hesitation I would recommend Rex Pietrobono’s legal help for my family, and friends. He made a bad situation bearable emotionally, and in the process was extremely knowledgeable and prepared in court. Rex Pietrobono, with all his qualities, created an all-around positive experience, which enabled me to continue making a living for my family.
