Welcome to the Law Office of David Galison, P.C. Law Blog

Welcome to galisonlaw.com law blog. Our mission: to scour the universe for compelling stories in several related areas: DWI law, criminal law and and traffic law. Current changes in these laws offer broad interpretations, encompassing such recent news as the Leandra’s Law, and Jack Shea's law which eases restrictions on collecting blood in intoxication cases. We’ll write about industry news and legal trends, with a sprinkle of good old-fashioned gossip.

We’ll link to the best coverage of law and lawyers from around the Web, report some news of our own and look to you for contributions. We heartily invite your comments, tips and insights.

Along with my ruminations, this blog will include bits and bites from articles in the the New York Law Journal and Legal Newswires. Email me at david@galisonlaw.com.

Traffic Ticket Lawyer Nassau County


2013 is well under way and the Nassau County Police are out in full force writing tickets. The police have been issuing moving violations for speeding, failure to yield, following too closely (tailgating), running a red light, running a stop sign and many other moving violations. In addition, if you have been on the Meadowbrook or Wantagh State Parkways you have probably noticed that the State Police have been out in full force as well. Finding an experienced traffic ticket lawyer is essential in order to protect your driving record and to keep your driving abstract points down. Points on your driver's license can lead to increased insurance premiums for years to come. 

If you have been issued a ticket anywhere on Long Island call the Law Office of David Galison for a Free Consultation. 516-242-4477. I have been handling all moving violations on Long Island for well over a decade.

DWI Dismissed Despite Police Swearing That Driver Was Intoxicated


In late 2012 a client of mine was charged with a DWI with a fatality. The police indicated that my client  had Red Glassy Eyes and the Odor of an Alcoholic Beverage on his breath. Three SFT (Standard Field Sobriety) test were administered to the Defendant; the Finger to Nose, Standing at Attention, and the Nine Step Walk and Turn. The police claim that positive clues for intoxication resulted from these test. The Defendant also agreed to take a PBT (breath test) which allegedly showed alcohol in his system. The Defendant was arrested and brought for blood testing immediately thereafter. The results of two separate laboratories testing the blood? No alcohol or drugs in the Defendant's blood. That bears repeating. Zero alcohol in the Defendant's blood. 

As a result of the blood testing done by the Nassau University Medical Center all charges against the Defendant were dismissed by the Nassau County District Attorney's Office. 

So the question remains. How is it possible for a Nassau County Police Officer to swear that the Defendant had all the signs of intoxication, yet have no alcohol in his system?

Was the officer mistaken, lying, looking for overtime? I don't know the answer, perhaps we will never know. But what we do know is that just because a Police Officer indicates that a person has Glassy Bloodshot Eyes, the Odor of an Alcoholic Beverage on their Breath, and claims clues of intoxication from Stand Field Sobriety Testing, that doesn't mean that the person (Defendant) was actually intoxicated. In fact in some cases the Police are 100% wrong, despite the fact that they are trained to detected intoxicated drivers. 

Just because a Police Officer swears that a driver is Intoxicated doesn't make it true. (See the police report and dismissal documents directly below. Published with the consent of the Defendant.)

Thanks again! What a great outcome. Feel free to use this or my original comment from my earlier email.

I had four tickets from a single traffic incident. Had I not been represented by David, my license would have been suspended and the cost of my insurance would have gone through the roof. He did a terrific job and was a pleasure to work with.

Have a great weekend!
