Luigi Vigliotti
Law Offices of Luigi Vigliotti, P.C.
I am Luigi Vigliotti, a former New York State Prosecutor and a seasoned criminal trial lawyer. My practice is primarily focused on criminal law, with a particular emphasis on DWI/DUI defense and general vehicular criminal defense. I previously served as a traffic prosecutor at 801 Axinn Ave (formerly 16 Cooper Street, Hempstead), where I managed both simple and complex traffic matters from arraignment to trial. Before you hire any lawyer, please ensure they have the necessary experience to handle your case.
During my tenure in the District Attorney’s Office, I was assigned to the prestigious DWI/DUI unit. There, I successfully prosecuted thousands of vehicular cases, including those involving DWI/DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, breath test refusals, and driving under the influence of drugs or a combination of alcohol and drugs. My responsibilities also extended to prosecuting a variety of misdemeanor and felony cases, trying several misdemeanor and felony jury trials to verdict, conducting numerous pretrial suppression hearings, presenting felony cases to the Grand Jury for indictment, and handling a wide array of criminal cases from arraignment to trial.
In 2008, I started my own law practice, focusing primarily on the defense of all criminal matters and personal injury litigation. I have also been active in teaching trial advocacy to law students and have been invited multiple times to teach at Hofstra Law School’s Trial Advocacy program courses.

- Q. How do I know if I have any open criminal cases? or if I am under investigation? I am out of US but want to return.
- A: I'm going to assume that this inquiry relates to a New York State criminal matter as opposed to a Federal matter. As to whether you are under investigation, you probably will not find out the answer to that question. After all, if you're being investigated, the investigation is likely to be secretive and you may not know about it until you are arrested. If it's a felony, the local prosecutor may have convened an investigative Grand Jury panel and if an indictment has been voted, you won't necessarily know about it until you are arrested and the indictment is unsealed. As to whether you have an open criminal case, normally one could access the Court's e-file system ... Read More
- Q. My granddaughter’s father was issued a restricted drivers license for a DUI & he is telling me that he can drive w baby
- A: Is the question whether your grandfather can drive with a baby while possessing a restricted license? If so, I don't believe that your category of license ever restricts your passengers. In other words, I'm fairly certain that as long as he possesses a license, he can drive. Whether his passengers are adults or children is not limited by the type of license he possesses.
- Q. , how can I change an independent attorney that is NOT serving him/her
- A: You should hire someone new if you are not satisfied with your current lawyer. If your attorney is legal aid or 18b, you can ask the court to consider giving you a new lawyer.
