NYC Criminal Defense, DWI & Traffic Lawyer
Your freedom. Your record. Your right to a defense.
An arrest can leave you with more questions than answers. Could this affect your job? Will you have a criminal record? What happens at your next court date?
The Law Office of Gina M. Wicik defends people facing misdemeanor and felony charges in Manhattan and throughout New York and New Jersey. Cases include assault, domestic violence allegations, theft, drug charges, weapons offenses, and alleged violations of orders of protection.
Your defense starts with what happened, not just what appears in a police report.
Gina reviews the available evidence and the events leading to the charge. A video may show something a report leaves out. Witness accounts may conflict. A search, statement, or identification may need closer review.
Those details help determine what can be challenged and what the prosecution can prove. Depending on the facts and law, the next step may be seeking a dismissal, challenging evidence, negotiating a resolution, or preparing for trial.
The firm also represents people under investigation or issued a Desk Appearance Ticket. For a case in New York County, learn more about working with a Manhattan criminal defense lawyer.

What Clients Say

Gina Wicik is my lawyer. I was in a no win situation based on the circumstances. She represented me so well that the outcome was even better than expected. Coming to represent me in NJ from NY and she did a phenomenal job. I would recommend her to anyone but in the meantime she’s my lawyer in case I ever need her again and she’s on speed dial.She’s the best!!!
DWI -
Gina helped me with a traffic ticket I got back in 2019. And she just called me saying that my case was dismissed! So happy and blessed to have come across her. Gina is representing me at another hearing later this year, and I am very confident she will be able to help me out then too. Her friendly demeanor and being easy to contact/connect with makes this stressful process so much easier.
Traffic Tickets -
Gina and her office was great! Her knowledge of my case and the district policies that were in place was amazing. The communication was fantastic and the results were even better! Strongly recommend for any type of issue that Gina be the first call.
Criminal Defense -
I hired Gina in court on 125th street to help me with a ticket i received for a cell phone. I am not from NYC and i have never received a summons before. I was scared and very nervous. I noticed there was a young woman talking to another person and when she was done i approached her. I explained my situation. She thoroughly explained the process and how the court works. She made me feel much less anxious and when my case was called i went into the room with her and she won my case.
Val Cata -
My son received a ticket for no insurance and we didn’t know what to do. I called Gina Wicik and she responded to my call immediately. She was amazing, very professional and honest about my sons case during the consultation. I gave her the details and she assured me that she would do everything possible to help my son. Sure enough the ticket was dismissed and my son didn’t have to miss a day of work by going to court. I highly recommend her
Traffic Violations -
Despite finding out about Gina M. Wicik at the last possible moment simply by chance and retaining her over a holiday weekend she was able to take my case and get me an incredibly favorable outcome. Basically saving my bacon. She is amazing. Thank you again!
Criminal Defense -
Gina M. Wicik is a gem of a lawyer. When all the other lawyers in Brooklyn told me my case was hopeless (and I called many of them) she told me there was a chance. A chance was something I needed that day since I was on the verge of panic of having my license suspended. She assessed the situation and helped me understand what we could do; there was a chance.
Traffic Violations -
I had a summons for improper turn at 61 street & 1 Ave in Manhattan back in 2019 .. I was very upset , cause I know I didn’t commit a improper turn , So when I went to DMV A WEEK BEFORE MY HEARING to change my court date & I was denied . I saw a very professional dress lady going through paperwork sitting on the bench in the waiting area , I thought it was a fancy cop coming to a hearing.. so I waited for her to go into the lawyer office & I approached her & she was very soft spoken & went straight to the point in telling me I have a good chance of beating the ticket & Ms. WICIK has very fair prices .
JJ Cashflow -
Gina is fabulous!!! She has defended me on multiple tickets and had all of them dismissed!! I watched her cross exam a police officer once and actually felt bad for the cop by the time she was done with him!! Needless to say the judge dismissed my ticket. After that I didn’t have to worry about much and she has won for me again and again.
Michelle Stern -
I contacted Mrs. Wicik for help fighting a traffic ticket. She was extremely patient , kind and eager to help me through the whole process. She explained everything to me in detail and she made the whole experience go far quicker than I excepted. I even came out with no point on my license. I highly recommend her for any of your traffic violation needs!
