Westchester County (NY): Yonkers Resident Enters Guilty Pleas After Injuring Two In Greenburgh Car Crash

Shawn Ferrier, a 35-year-old Yonkers resident, admitted to injuring two people and damaging four parked cars while driving drunk in Greenburgh, NY. He pled guilty to three felonies, second-degree assault, vehicular assault, and aggravated unlicensed operation, as well as driving while intoxicated (DWI) and four other misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief.

Ferrier reportedly took area police on a high-speed chase through Greenburgh approximately a year ago. He was driving a rented U-Haul at the time. During the chase, which began when Ferrier ran numerous red light in Central Avenue, he collided with a Mercedes-Benz sending it into a small tree. The Mercedes driver, a 46-year-old Bronx man, suffered neck and back injuries. The chase ended after Ferrier struck a tree and the U-Haul caught on fire. A passenger in the U-Haul suffered serious injuries in the crash.

Ferrier will serve at least four years in state prison.

Ex-con pleads guilty to DWI chase in Greenburgh, Yonkers that hurt 2 others, Journal News, Rebecca Baker, November 21, 2009.

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
