Legal Opinion Letter
I asked Larry if he could write a legal opinion letter for a DWAI in New York State. DWAI is a unique charge because it is a traffic violation and not a crime and is less severe in seriousness compared to an ordinary DWI. Larry authored a letter explaining what a DWAI is and this letter has proven to...

Aggravated DWT
Larry and Mike both worked on my aggravated DWI case and are a shining example of what a law firm should be. They were most helpful from start to finish of a very unpleasant set of circumstances. Providing 'to do' lists both before and after sentencing, answering countless questions I had without...

DWAI Victory
I hired Larry after being charged with DWAI drugs, two charges of CPCS 7th, uninsured motor vehicle and unsafe lane departure.

Extremely Helpful, even after the fact
Lawrence Newman successfully defended me in a DUI case about 5 years ago. I did end up pleading to DUAI but that was much better than the original charge. However, this review is more about what happened this week. I was filling out some employment forms and had a question related to my case and I ca...

Speeding ticket resolved
I received a speeding ticket and contacted Larry. He was extremely helpful in walking me through the process, providing me with the necessary information I needed and was always available to address any questions I had along the way. I would recommend him to anyone in need of this type of service.
Lawrence A. Newman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Larry's approach is proven and reliable in every case. He is the most thorough DWI lawyer I have ever had the privilege to work with. I learn something new every day working with him."
"One of Larry's best qualities as an attorney is his honesty and candor with his clients. He's a straight shooter when it comes to his legal advice and properly managing the expectations of his clients. His wealth of experience as an attorney licensed in three jurisdictions is immense. I had the privilege of being consulted by Larry on an issue of how Florida laws would impact his NY client. Larry's spot on analysis and practical approach to his client's dilemma impressed me a great deal. He is now my "go to guy" in Upstate NY."
"I endorse this lawyer. An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community."
"Larry is a tough and experience trial lawyer that really goes to bat for his clients. I know whenever I refer a case to Larry, the client is in good hands."
"I endorse this attorney. Lawrence is the man, and a pleasure to work with. Aside from the above he is skilled lawyer. If you need a job done right, call Lawrence."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Larry will impress you with his knowledge, intelligence, and personal skills. He will then use all of those skills to beat your case or get you a deal above and beyond any "regular" lawyer. Look at the content he puts out --- he knows so much and has the capacity (which is rare) to explain his knowledge to the average person (i.e. juries) or clients. This is a tremendous skill that few possess. If I were in NY I would be happy to get a beer with Larry. If I were in NY and I got in trouble, Larry would be on my speed dial."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Newman personifies commitment to the profession. He is a kind person and yet a formidable advocate for his client; and truly a wellspring of information on the subject of DWI, and all things cars."

"Larry Newman is a well respected DUI/DWI Lawyer.His commitment to the defense of those accused of DWI/DUI is based on years of continued learning and a focus on the rights of the accused. Any Lawyer who excels in this field must know the science,law,procedures and every legal skill to assist the accused.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Lawrence is a great lawyer. I have reached out to him many times for answers to questions. He is also licensed in several states. This makes him very valuable to out of state drivers when they have questions as to the affect of a NY conviction on the license of their home state."
"I have referred several matters to Larry and he has referred matters to me. He is experienced and well-informed on traffic matters, especially DWI's."
