DWI & Criminal Defense

Upstate New York DWI and Criminal Defense Attorney

A criminal charge can be frightening and disorienting, especially if you have never dealt with the criminal justice system before. At The Law Offices of Heidi A. Gifford, we can help you make sense of your situation. We will explain your rights, outline the possible outcomes of your case and then dedicate ourselves to fighting for your interests in negotiations and in court.

From our offices in Gloversville and Saratoga Springs, we defend clients throughout the Capital Region of New York. If you have been charged with a crime — from a minor misdemeanor to a major felony — we can help.

Any statements that you make after a criminal charge can and will be used against you. Before you talk to the police or anyone else, come talk to us. Contact us to schedule your meeting. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your charges.
