AREAS

CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Since 2007 Kenyon C. Trachte, Esq. has handled all aspects of criminal defense in thousands of cases ranging from simple violations to class A felonies with many very successful outcomes.

PERSONAL INJURY

Our office has experience with a wide range of personal injury cases where we have obtained very favorable settlements for our clients.  Working with experienced paralegals, we take each case so seriously that if the case requires more than one attorney to get the results we need, we bring in experienced outside counsel with the expertise needed at our cost.  If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

 

TRAFFIC

Many people often do not realize the potential ramifications of points on your license.  Not only can you be suspended, or experience enhanced car insurance costs, but the DMV may use those points in conjunction with other convictions to revoke your privilege to drive in New York for 5 to 10 years or even for life.  It is well worth it to have an attorney handle any offense where points are a possibility.

OUR VISION

Here at Trachte Law Office PC, a small boutique firm, you will always be dealing personally with the owner Kenyon C. Trachte, Esq.  Unlike many larger firms where you may find yourself talking to paralegals or appearing in court with newly admitted attorneys, representation by a boutique law office guarantees that you will always be dealing with an experienced attorney handling your case personally from start to finish.
