Schaffer, a criminal defense lawyer with 24 years experience, helps his clients fight the harsh consequences of a New York DWI arrest.

Peter J. Schaffer has been a practicing trial lawyer in Bronx, New York since 1987. Since that time, he has represented thousands of individuals accused of a wide range of crimes, including Driving While Intoxicated ("DWI") and Driving While Ability Impaired ("DWAI").

Drinking driving enforcement and prosecution are more effective as a result of New York State’s STOP-DWI law. Every county in New York State has a STOP-DWI program.
