Local, Focused, and Personal Representation
"Thank you for representing me for my DWI. Having never gone through this process before, I was amazed by its length and complexity. Your representation was excellent. You explained every step of the process and presented alternative approaches to reconciling my case. You took extra care to ensure I knew what was going on, sometimes explaining things multiple times. I felt I had control over the key decisions that affected my case. This is a painful and expensive process. Your responsiveness and optimism managed to make it tolerable. I would recommend you to anyone seeking similar representation."

"Larry Newman represented our daughter for a DWI with an accident. She is a good college student on a scholarship and we live many states away. It was very traumatic event for all of us, and Larry kept us informed every step of the way. Even though we never met Larry in person, I felt very comfortable trusting him with our daughter’s future. Thank you."

"Our son was visiting Ithaca for a college football game and got arrested for a DWI. Attorney Newman called us back on a Sunday and spent over an hour on the phone with my wife and myself. He was able to represent our son without multiple return trips to Ithaca. We are grateful for all his help and would recommend him to anyone."

"I am a heavy equipment operator so my license is very important to me. Larry Newman really helped me out because this was my second DWI with other charges. I was facing a felony and jail. Larry was able to help me get into a probation program with treatment, keep my job, and move on with my life. I thank God and Larry for helping me out."

"I am pursuing a Phd at Cornell and went our celebrating one night. I never thought I would get an Aggravated DWI. My breath test was over a 0.19! I was scared of having to deal with probation and an ignition breath car device. I had planned on leaving Ithaca and was nervous throughout the whole process. Larry Newman came recommended from a friend and I feel it was a good choice to have him as my lawyer. He was very detailed and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case."

"Mr. Larry Newman returned my voicemail on a Sunday morning after my DWI charge. He was very helpful in understanding the depth and severity of the charges to develop a concise plan for representation. His advice and knowledge of the law were just the start of his expertise of Tompkins County and Ithaca's DWI laws that can be difficult to understand without his assistance. I was confident that Mr. Newman would be a good representation of myself. His thorough explanation of the possible outcomes and the steps needed to achieve those outcomes were necessary to be able to resolve with minimal penalties. I am very happy at the outcome of my case and the extra mile Mr. Newman went to see the outcome through.
Larry Thanks again for your support during my time in need."
Thank you

"Thanks Mr. Newman for making a bad situation seem manageable. I recently moved all the way from Mobile, AL to take an Manufacturing Engineering job to get my career jump started. With me making such a big move this far from home wasn't easy. So I went out one night on New Year's Eve with a couple of co-workers and then got stopped by two cops in the same night. I had a resisting arrest charge, driving while conditions were prudent, resisting arrest charge, and a d.w.i. all placed on me even though the charges wasn't technically correct. Anyway Mr. Newman set up a payment plan that was very fair and reasonable. Then he was able to get all charges to be just traffic violations, so record and insurance consequences were avoided. I do not feel bad to have complete the drinking drivers program and attend a night of people that are impacted by alcohol related accident. I feel Mr. Newman did an outstanding job for me and one huge mistake is not going to cost me nearly as much as I initially thought it would. I really appreciated your quality work. Anybody that gets into a similar situation with drinking and driving needs to give Mr. Newman the opportunity to get you a good result. Thanks again."
"I had a bunch of outstanding tickets because I am a foreign student and I didn't understand how the legal system worked here, and not only did he get them to throw out all but one of them, he also got me a deal for a much much lower price than I dared imagine.
As if that wasn't enough, he took time out to explain as much as he could how the system worked so I wouldn't have any more trouble. If you have any driving related problems, go to him!"

"I retained Attorney Newman for a criminal matter regarding my son in college in Ithaca. My experience with Mr. Newman started off with a wonderful start by him answering his telephone, and giving me prompt advise, whether I retained him or not. I felt that Mr. Newman was glad to help, whether or not he gained a client. This truly gave me an understanding as to the kind of person Larry Newman is.
He gave me my options, without any pressure, which caused me to quickly retain him. He was very prompt in responses, and personally answered his phone, even while during vacation.
He not only had an impact on me, but also on my son, who enjoyed sharing coffee with him prior to Court. I would highly recommend Mr. Newman, and was completely comfortable putting my son’s future in his hands."

My son's DWI
By marjorieharrow - Oct 22, 2009
"By sheer luck, I found and retained Larry Newman to help my son through a DWI situation. He was extremely helpful, responsive and kind, always available to me with an understandable explanation of each segment of this process that my son had to deal with. Larry pulled no punches but gave us hope that there was the strong possibility of a positive outcome and that is what he achieved. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation as the result of a DWI arrest because Larry is clearly one of the best in his field."
serious violation ticket
By Housam - Oct 21, 2009
"I got two tickets recently and one of them was a serious traffic violation. I called Mr. Newman who fought the tickets for me and had both of them dropped. I was impressed with the result. The rate was very reasonable. He used to call me and email me with any update. I think he is a great lawyer."
Exceptional DWI Lawyer
By Kelly - Oct 14, 2009
"Lawrence Newman is an exceptional DWI lawyer. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and kind to me during a time that I consider to be one of the worst in my life so far. I called Lawrence the day after my DWI and he returned my phone call immediately and met me in person right away. He made me feel comfortable with the realities of my case and my options moving forward. He is easy to talk to, patient, and extremely accessible with all modes of communication, even text messaging. His work in and out of the court room is thorough, thoughtful and performed with confidence. Above all, Lawrence put my horrible and upsetting experience into perspective and made it approachable and manageable. I am so thankful for all he has done for me and would highly recommend him to anyone who might be in this or a similar situation."
Fantastic DWI Lawyer
By ithacan - Oct 2, 2009
"I got pulled over and arrested a month or so ago and was charged with a DWI which carries huge fines and a licence suspension and possible jail time. However the most serious charge of all would have been the criminal record that I would have had to deal with for the rest of my life, since a DWI in NY is a misdemeanor. I was lost, confused and most of all scared. I made the decision to hire Larry and he was an excellent and fantastic lawyer. I don't think I would have personally asked for a better resolution to my case. He was able to negotiate a settlement to my case that would downgrade the charge to a DWAI which carries with it less fines and less licence suspension time. In addition to all this court stuff, he was great in terms of coaching me through the whole process especially with all the other stuff related to the DMV office and dealing with them. He is always there for you to help you through the process, he always answers his phone or email."
My Winter DWI
By postb42 - Oct 2, 2009
"I was arrested for a DWI in late winter of 2009. Those first few days were difficult: full of shame, embarrassment, guilt and the feeling that things were hopeless. It was as if I had hit rock bottom. But just like winter gives way to Spring I saw my first rays of sunlight when I made my first phone call to attorney Larry Newman. Immediately Larry began to allay the fears that had been building up in my mind and made me realize that this was not a hopeless situation. Throughout the next few months Larry continued to guide me through the court system and stayed by me until the situation was resolved. I highly recommend Larry Newman as an attorney who is a seeker of truth and justice, who genuinely cares about his clients, who is always prompt, who is reasonably priced, and as someone who knows how to navigate the court systems in the area in and around Tompkins County."
Highly recommend DWI Attorney
By Jim - Sep 15, 2009
"Attorney Newman under promised and over delivered. I'm from out of state and had never found myself in a situation like this so I didn't have a clue. From my first conversation prior to retaining him, through the education process, Larry told me he would never tell or promise me something he couldn't deliver except that he would always do his best for me. I was prepared for the worst. He was able to persuade the court to accept my affidavit that he would appear and plea on my behalf which saved me seven hours driving time each way. When he told me the resolution he had negotiated I breathed an enormous sigh of relief. The resolution was so much better than I hoped for. If you find yourself in a situation, I would urge you to call him first." Jim in Boston
Highly Recommended
By Benjamin - Sep 11, 2009
"I left a message for Mr. Newman with a question about my DWI case from six years ago after a new issue had arisen. Even though it was after hours, he returned my call minutes later. I was shocked at how forthcoming he was with thoughtful advice, especially since it was at no cost to me. From the few minutes I spent with him on the phone, it was easy to tell that he understands the DWI process exceptionally well, and I highly recommend giving him a call if you find yourself charged with DWI or something related."
excellent AUO attorney
By mp_hiphop - Jun 14, 2009
"Mr.Newman did an outstanding job at defending my case. When I first got AUO, (driving on a suspended license) I was confused, dazed, and felt terrible because my given court date which I was required to attend was too late for me, since I had to fly out of ithaca for my work. Mr.Newman not only explained carefully everything and assured me that how things can work out, but also successfully changed the court date earlier so as to reduce the time conflict with my work. He was able to reduce my speeding ticket and also my dismeanor ticket to a mere traffic violation. I strongly recommend him if you're in a similar situation and looking for help."
