Arthur Louis Pressman

I've hired Mr. Pressman twice now, both regarding DWI arrests. The first time I hired him my BAC was .12, and he was able to get the DWI charge reduced to a noncriminal infraction on the same day of arraignment. My second DWI arrest was less than a year later, and he was able to get this reduced ...as well, to a non criminal violation. For this offense my BAC was .14, the cut off for any plea bargain in Erie County is typically .12, and not usually even offered for a second offense; it takes a skillful attorney to be able to get such a reduction. Also, for this most recent case, all other traffic violations were dismissed, and only the minimum fine was imposed. Mr. Pressman was able to effectively negotiate with the Asst. DA due to his obvious experience, the particulars of my case; which he was working on, and the relationships he has built with judges and attorneys in the Greater Buffalo area. My confidence in this attorney was greatly increased by the respect his colleagues have for him; while I was speaking to Arthur outside of the courtroom, another attorney came up to me, and put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You are in very capable hands, you have a great attorney here". He had no reason to say this other than conveying the truth to a lucky client. If I ever find myself in legal trouble again, Arthur Pressman is undoubtedly the first number I will call. I could have been sent to jail, but thanks to him I do not have a criminal record; no misdemeanors, no felonies, and a much clearer path for continued success in the future. Don't expect this attorney to hold your hand and tell you "everything is going to be okay" however. He is blunt about the possible outcomes of each line of defense available. Keep an open ear, and heed his advice; he knows what he is talking about. Personally, I prefer being kept informed rather than coddled. If you are in or near the Buffalo, NY area, and you find yourself with a DWI arrest, or traffic tickets, I highly recommend this attorney.
