Criminal Defense for Cambridge and the Surrounding Area
Have you been charged with a DWI, felony, or traffic violation in Cambridge? Cambridge sits in the southeast corner of Washington County, hugging the Vermont border where Route 22 and Route 313 funnel traffic between New York and Vermont. The Battenkill River runs right through town, drawing fly fishermen from across the country, and the surrounding farms, orchards, and weekend visitor traffic keep both Cambridge Town Court and Cambridge Village Court active. The Law Office of Andrew DeLuca defends clients in both courts, as well as in Washington County Court for felony matters.
Attorney Andrew DeLuca is here to get you the best outcome possible for your case. He knows how to fight in court and when to negotiate, and he is familiar with the local courts that handle cases in Cambridge and throughout Washington County.

Cambridge DWI Defense
Cambridge sees DWI arrests on Route 22 running north and south through town, on Route 313 heading east to the Vermont line at Arlington, and on the rural connector roads linking the village to Greenwich, Salem, and Eagle Bridge. State Police and the Washington County Sheriff regularly patrol these routes, particularly on weekend nights when traffic is moving between local breweries, restaurants, and the Vermont border. Vermont drivers stopped on the New York side of the line face full New York penalties, and a New York DWI conviction will follow them home through the Driver License Compact.
Depending on the circumstances, you could be charged with a misdemeanor DWI, Aggravated DWI (BAC of .18 or higher), or a felony DWI if you have prior convictions. Penalties can include loss of license, mandatory ignition interlock, fines, probation, and jail time. An experienced DWI lawyer will investigate the stop, the field sobriety tests, the breath or blood test, and whether your rights were properly protected throughout the arrest.
Cambridge Speeding Tickets & Traffic Violations
Route 22 is a major north-south corridor used by commuters, truckers, and seasonal travelers heading to Vermont and the southern Adirondacks. Route 313 is heavily patrolled near the Vermont border, and County Route 59 sees regular enforcement around the school zone and farm equipment crossings. Tickets for speeding, cell phone use, and other moving violations carry points, insurance increases, and potential license suspensions, especially for commercial drivers (CDL holders) and out-of-state motorists. Attorney DeLuca regularly negotiates Cambridge tickets down to non-moving violations or reduced charges, often without you having to appear in court.
Cambridge Domestic Violence Cases
In Cambridge, domestic incident calls bring State Police or Washington County Sheriff's deputies to homes throughout the village, Eagle Bridge, and the rural roads connecting Cambridge to Greenwich and Salem. New York's mandatory arrest rule is unforgiving: once the responding officer concludes there is probable cause, an arrest is made, even if the alleged victim asks them not to. The charges that land in Cambridge Town Court or Cambridge Village Court most often include Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Menacing, Criminal Mischief for damage done inside the home, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
A temporary order of protection is almost always issued at arraignment. A full stay-away order can mean leaving your house the same day, no contact with your children, and surrender of any firearms in the home, all before you've had a chance to respond to the allegations. From that moment forward, even one return text or a message relayed through a family member can become a Criminal Contempt charge that is treated more seriously than the underlying case. Attorney DeLuca handles these matters from arraignment through resolution and works to protect your job, your firearm rights, and your relationship with your children.
What Clients Say
I could not ask for better counsel in my time of need. I was recommended by a very good friend to a very good attorney. My counsel helped me to set my mind at ease. The outcome was better than I could have hoped. I would readily recommend Andrew to handle what your accused if, not matter how daunting.

Misdemeanors & Felonies in Cambridge
Misdemeanor charges such as petit larceny, drug possession, third-degree assault, and DWI carry up to 12 months in jail and a permanent criminal record. Even a misdemeanor conviction can affect employment, housing, and professional licenses.
Felony cases originating in Cambridge are transferred to Washington County Court at the Washington County Municipal Center in Fort Edward for grand jury and indictment. NY State felony convictions can result in long prison time, fines, probation, parole, and loss of professional licenses. Mr. DeLuca has defended clients on serious felony charges, including murder, and uses his trial experience as leverage to push for reduced charges or dismissal.
