DUI and DWI 20%

The DWI laws in New York are very complicated and have both criminal penalties and civil implications regarding the ability to drive. There are numerous penalties and a person who is charged with DWI in New York must be aware of all their rights and all the consequences involved. It is important to make sure that the arrest was done properly and that all the tests were conducted properly. An experienced attorney can help make sure that every aspect is looked at carefully.

Personal Injury 20%

When someone is injured, it is bad enough for the person and their family but when it is due to the negligence of someone else, it is important that the injured party is protected. Most serious injuries that occur will leave the injured party without wages to support themselves and their family. It is important to the recovery process to know that the financial security is available with a good personal injury attorney.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Mr. DeUrso for family court matters. I had a very complex case and his attention to detail was very impressive. While going through this case, it was an emotional roller coaster and Mr. DeUrso was sensitive to the stress that I was under. He was always courteous and professio...nal. I was most impressed by his courtroom demeanor and technique, which showed his experience and he was able to get a successful result for me, which I was very happy about.

Professional and efficient

Darren was so easy to work with, efficient, great communicator and professional. My husband received a speeding ticket for 8 points. I found Darren online and I’m glad I did. He was able to relieve us of the 8 point ticket. I referred so many of my friends and family.

School bus

I recieved a ticket for passing a school bus and was very worried. I hired Darren and he did a great job of bringing it down from 5 points to 2 points I was very happy with his efforts through the proccess.

He works hard for you.

He gives you the advice you need, straight. Hard working, resourceful, and personable; Darren DeUrso is a good man. He expects the best from others and we can only do the same, as clients. He's also very prompt with his responses, even on weekends. He's the first lawyer I've ever hired and I was luck...y to find him.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
