In New York, the pendulum has swung on DWI and DUI charges. Many incidents that were ignored twenty or thirty years ago are now leading to arrests. In addition to more charges, there are more serious consequences for a conviction. If you face a drunk driving arrest, you want an attorney who can help you build the best possible DUI/DWI defense.
First-time drunk drivers have to jump through a lot of hoops, and even after an exhausting criminal process, you may still lose your ability to drive freely. In most cases, if convicted, you will have to attend classes or rehabilitation. In most cases the court will provide some way for you to get to your job, but if you refuse to take a breath or blood test, your license could be suspended long-term.
Investigating your DWI, DUI or DWAI Case
The probable cause for the initial stop and the procedures used in testing must be within the law and must not violate your rights. We will review the arrest record and all test results. In court proceedings, the arresting officer will be aggressively cross-examined. We understand that you have a lot at stake when facing charges of drinking and driving, and we will work hard to help you protect your rights.
We also represent individuals facing additional concerns with their drunk driving charge. For example, if you have been previously arrested or convicted of drunk driving, you will have to worry about the consequences of multiple DWIs. If you have a commercial drivers license, your entire career is at stake.
