Magill Law
DWI and Criminal Defense. Unleash our experience and knowledge.
Over the past 13 years, Dan has dedicated a majority of his time, as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, to driving while intoxicated cases. He has conducted 15 DWI jury trials, with six jury trials occurring in the past two years.
Cases are won during jury selection. Dan has strategically performed the art of DWI jury selection in Livingston County Court, Wayne County Court, Rochester City Court, Canandaigua Town Court, Livonia Town Court, Avon Town Court, Groveland Town Court, and Jerusalem Town Court.
Successfully tackling suppression issues (i.e., whether certain evidence is admissible at trial) is paramount to winning a DWI case. Dan has conducted more than 100 suppression hearings. Numerous cases have been dismissed in this fashion.
Dan has authored nine DWI appellate briefs, covering a wide range of issues that are unique to DWI charges. Most trial attorneys do not draft their own appeals.
A trial attorney who drafts his own appellate briefs gives you a tremendous advantage in winning your case. This hybrid attorney knows what it takes to win in the first instance; but never loses sight of the long game. In other words, he creates a clear and sufficient record in the trial court, in the event a win relies on a successful appeal.
When speaking with an attorney during a DWI consultation, be sure to ask two crucial questions: (1) How many DWI jury trials have you conducted in the past two years? and (2) how many DWI appellate briefs have you personally authored?
