About Michael C. Cyr

Hello! I’m Mike Cyr and I’m a partner at Newman & Cyr, a law firm, based in Ithaca, NY. Our practice focuses on DWI defense, criminal defense, and traffic-related matters. I hope you enjoy my blog and videos –you can always ask me a question. I represent people throughout the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. I also represent college students at Ithaca College and Cornell University with regularity. My personal defense philosophy is “past, present, and future” –i.e. minimize the charges, fight the case, and protect the future. All my clients have a future, and it is my first priority to make sure it is a bright one. No lawyer can make guarantees about the outcome of your case, but I can guarantee 3 things: I will care about you, I will be as thorough as possible, and I will try my hardest to get you the best possible outcome. If you have questions about your situation, contact me and I’ll be happy to talk to you. 2015 Summer Session Graduate; 2016 Summer Session Graduate

Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial

04/23/2025

Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...

Written by Jonathan Dichter The Heart of Client Care: Moving Beyond Case Management In the legal profession, we often talk about "case management" - the systems and processes that keep our cases moving efficiently. But what about *client care*? True client care goes beyond deadlines and filings; it's about treating clients as *people*-scared, uncertain, and in need of guidance. And when done...
