Kevin Colwell — an Albany, New York, Defense Attorney

I'm Kevin Colwell, an Albany, New York, attorney with 10 years of experience. My career began in the Columbia County Public Defender's office. After that, I worked as a family court prosecutor for Columbia County's Department of Social Services.
Today, I still work part-time prosecuting cases in Hudson City Court.* My broad experience means I can analyze a DWI arrest case from multiple viewpoints and find possibilities other lawyers might miss — and maybe I can help you keep your driver's license.
Call me to discuss any level of DWI charge:
- Driving while intoxicated (DWI): called "DUI" in neighboring states, this means your BAC was .08 or above
- Aggravated DWI: if your BAC was over .08 or more, your DWI arrest may result in "aggravated" charges
- Driving while ability impaired (DWAI): a lesser offense, charging that your ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by the consumption of alcohol.
Defending Against Felony DWI Charges
If you've been convicted of more than one DWI in 10 years, you may be facing felony charges. A felony conviction has serious consequences and should not be entered without representation by an attorney.
There are many ways I can help you fight these charges.
To explain all of the options for your defense would take more space than is available here. But I can give you a thorough case evaluation during your free initial consultation. To discuss defensive strategies following a DWI arrest, call me today at 518.618.4719 or 866.726.2071 (Toll Free) or just contact my office online.
*Unfortunately, this means I cannot defend clients in Hudson City Traffic Court, as it would create a conflict of interest.
