Act Quickly for Criminal Charges or Personal Injury Cases
Legal issues need to be addressed quickly and aggressively. For personal injuries, the insurance companies will be mounting their cases right from the start, and for criminal matters, early and aggressive intervention can minimize the damage in terms of charging and sentencing.
After more than 15 years as a New Paltz criminal defense attorney, I have learned how to approach a criminal defense or a personal injury case quickly and aggressively. I have been representing New York clients in the Hudson Valley Region since 1993. Before you talk to the police, insurance companies or anyone else, call me. I can give you the counsel you need during this challenging time.
Here to Help You
I truly care about my clients, and they can tell that when we work together. My clients get my cell phone number and access to me, not my assistants or paralegals. I give you the personal contact you deserve from your attorney.
Criminal Defense
The majority of my work as an attorney is centered on criminal defense law, including:
- DWI, including felony DWI
- Traffic violations
- Speeding tickets
- Driving with a suspended license
- Drug crimes like marijuana possession
- Student offenses like shoplifting and underage drinking
Personal Injury
I also handle personal injury cases involving:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Construction accidents
- Dog bites
- Wrongful death
Local Courts
In more than 15 years as an attorney, I have experience in many of the local New York state courts:
- New Paltz Town Court
- Plattekill Town Court
- Poughkeepsie Town Court and City Court
- Lloyd Town Court
- Stanford Town Court
- Milan Town Court
If you are facing criminal charges or have suffered a personal injury, I can represent you in any of these local jurisdictions.
Personal Contact From Your Attorney
While I work with one paralegal behind the scenes, I am the main point of contact for all my clients. When you hire Lawrence R. Trank, PLLC as your personal injury and criminal defense law firm, you work with me throughout the entire process, not an associate or paralegal.
