Ithaca Criminal Defense lawyer explains a LEGAL PRESUMPTION in New York



WHAT IS A "LEGAL PRESUMPTION"
IN NEW YORK?

In a nutshell, as I explain in the video, a LEGAL PRESUMPTION is an assumption made by the court about YOU based on a single piece of evidence.  

There are all different kinds of legal presumptions in New York.  I go through several important ones in other videos.  

If a LEGAL PRESUMPTION applies to your case, that does NOT mean your case is over...it just means we have to DISPROVE the presumption.  They can make things harder during a case, but not impossible if you have evidence to fight the presumption.  

The best advice I can give with these types of cases...get a lawyer quick.  Because they need to gather evidence IMMEDIATELY to fight the presumption. 

-In a DWI case with 0.08% BAC or higher --I would need to gather as much evidence as I can that you were NOT legally intoxicated.... this can make all the difference in a case.
