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.

Great Experience

Mr. DeUrso was very professional and upfront with me. He provided me with great guidance and advice on what to do next, time frames and possible results. He resolved my case in a way that was very satisfactory to me. I am glad that I chose him as my attorney and would recommend meeting or... working with him.

Excellent

Darren was a great help in resolving my issues with my court appearance. In fact while we're waiting for my parents a state Supreme Court judge asked Darren for his opinion on a case and how to resolve it

Great Attorney

Mr. DeUrso is an intelligent and committed professional. Over the past 8 years, he has helped me with traffic tickets, judgements and other legal issues. I would absolutely recommend him.

Experience and personality!

Darren is wonderful! As a young lawyer, I find his advice to be on point and very valuable. He is always there for his clients and colleagues!

Goes above and beyond

Mr. DeUrso is not only very knowledgable and experienced in Family Court law but he is also very understanding of the issues outside the legal situation. I felt he went above and beyond his responsibilities as a lawyer and really assisted my family in trying to work through some very difficult situa...tions. He was very accessible and was integral in helping us resolve a very difficult situation.
