Andrew Steinhaus

I am a criminal defense attorney focused on representing individuals charged with criminal offenses and DWI throughout Western New York. I am committed to providing honest, straightforward, and effective representation to clients navigating the legal system. My practice is built on clear communication and strong advocacy. I ensure that every client understands their rights, their options, and the legal process from start to finish. I take a practical, results-driven approach to every case, working diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. In my DWI practice, I bring an informed and technical understanding of impaired driving investigations. I have personally completed the same Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) training that law enforcement officers undergo, along with extensive education in Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) protocols. This background allows me to critically evaluate police procedures and challenge the reliability of roadside testing and impairment determinations. Whether negotiating a favorable resolution or litigating a case through pretrial motions and trial, I am prepared to advocate aggressively and go to bat for my clients at every stage of the process. My perspective as a defense attorney is shaped by personal experience. Having faced challenges in my own adolescence, I bring a judgment-free approach to my practice and an understanding of how overwhelming the legal system can feel. I strive to guide my clients with clarity, respect, and unwavering support. I prioritize accessibility and responsiveness, making it a point to listen to my clients’ concerns, answer their questions, and provide clear, actionable advice. By keeping clients informed and involved, I empower them to make confident decisions about their future.
