Serious Penalties for DWI/DUI Charges
If you are convicted of a drunk driving charge on a first offense, you face a series of tough penalties:
* You will have to spend a period of time in jail
* Your car insurance premiums will rise dramatically for three years
* You will have to pay fines and fees
* You will have to attend a drinking and driver's program
* You will not be able to cross the border into Canada

DWI is a Crime
A conviction for DWI will give you a criminal record for the rest of
your life. You will have fingerprints and mug shots taken. Your criminal
record will stay on file with the state forever and can be viewed by
others. You will have to disclose your criminal record on all sorts of
forms and applications for the rest of your life or risk being charged
with another crime of falsifying records. However, if you are not
convicted of DWI, the court documents will be sealed and your
fingerprint cards will be returned to you.
"Not Guilty"
Everyday, drivers are pulled over for minor traffic infractions and end
up being arrested for DWI, despite the fact that they were not drunk.
Unfortunately, in many cases, drivers are charged based solely upon a
police officers' suspicion that they are drunk, not conclusive proof.
Many of the tests used to determine intoxication are very unreliable.
In fact, some of the tests used to determine whether someone is drunk
are so unreliable that they cannot even be used in court to prove your
guilt. The breath test and field sobriety tests used roadside range from
"inherently unreliable" to "voodoo science." Even the alcohol analysis
performed at the police station is not enough to prove your guilt.
However, it takes an experienced DWI attorney to challenge those tests.
You are presumed to be innocent until the prosecutor proves that you
were driving drunk. It is not illegal to drink and drive. You can have
several drinks and operate a motor vehicle legally and safely. They must
prove that you were intoxicated at the time you were driving. In order
to find you guilty, the law requires them to prove that the alcohol had
a "substantial" effect on your physical and mental ability to operate a
motor vehicle.
"Guilty"
People make mistakes. There should be consequences for those mistakes.
However, the punishment should not be unfairly harsh or excessive. Even
if you believe you were driving drunk, you are entitled to an aggressive
defense. Because the consequences can be so severe, you need an
experienced DWI lawyer to help you. Don't settle for whatever the DA and
the Court decide to give you.
Legal Defenses
Under our system, a defendant may raise legal defenses in an attempt to
challenge the evidence against them. Some of these issues include:
challenging the credibility of the allegations and witnesses,
challenging testing procedures, challenging the constitutionality of a
stop and/or search, etc. We review your file to determine whether there
are legitimate legal defenses which should be raised to the prosecutor
or court.
Equity
The District Attorney's Office and the Courts will also consider the
equities involved in the case. Examples of these factors include: prior
criminal history, clean license, prior alcohol related incidents,
whether there was an accident, potential loss of employment, level of
BAC, courteous treatment to police, etc. We obtain important equitable
information from our clients that can be used to help reduce the charges
and/or sentence.
Negotiation
Legal defenses and equities are discussed with the prosecutor (and
sometimes the judge) at a pre-trial conference. The strengths and
weaknesses of the case are also discussed and the prosecutor makes an
offer. A properly prepared case can make the difference between a
criminal record or a clean record.
Keeping Your Driver's License
Your license to drive may (or must) be suspended pending prosecution and
revoked if you are convicted of DWI. You are not guaranteed a "hardship
license" to drive to work and school. You are entitled to a hearing to
keep your license or obtain a hardship license. In some cases, the court
cannot suspend your license, but they do it anyway. We evaluate the case
and raise the legal issues to the court. If you are eligible, we will
help you keep your full driving privileges or obtain a hardship license
while the case is pending. If you are convicted, we will explain what
you have to do to get a restricted license during the period of
revocation.
Cost
The cost of defending a DWI charge depends on the facts of the case.
Attorney's fees can be expensive, but hiring an attorney can save you
money in the long run.

- Bloomingburg
- Kroll, Glenn:
Many motorists are stopped along Route 17, or The Quickway, and charged with DWI. These offenses are not always as cut and dry as the police would have you believe. There are very fine lines that separate many of the charges and an experienced Sullivan, Orange and Ulster County DWI lawyer can explain the differences to you.
There are many distinctions to be made, such as:
* DWAI: Or "driving while ability impaired" is a lower-level charge than DWI but the legal differentiation between "intoxicated" and "impaired" is complicated and not well defined. You will need an experienced attorney to help you.
* DWI: Or "driving while intoxicated" is synonymous with DUI or the generic "drunk driving."
* Aggravated DWI: Is the more serious of the three offenses and is typically charged with a breathalyzer result of .18 or higher.
* AUO: Or the "aggravated unlicensed operation" of a motor vehicle will result when you are caught while already on a revoked or suspended license.
Drunk driving offenses escalate to vehicular assault and vehicular homicide when a drunk driver strikes and injures or kills another person. In these situations you need an experienced Sullivan County DWI lawyer.
- Bohemia
- Farr & Bass:
A conviction of drunk driving (also known as driving while intoxicated or DWI) or operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs can have both immediate and long-term consequences. Once you are arrested for DWI, your driver's license is suspended. You also maybe facing penalties that include facing jail time, probation, hefty fines, extended license suspension and increased insurance rates.
Whether you had been arrested before or this is your first offense, it is important to know the law, know what actions you should take and know your rights.

ALCOHOL-RELATED DRIVING OFFENSES
If you have been accused of “drunk driving,” driving while impaired, or driving while intoxicated in New York, whether you are a resident or a visitor, it is most important to understand the options available in defense of these charges and the potential penalties and ramifications if convicted.

- Pardo, Renee:
Penalties for a DWI can be severe. Punishment can include driver's
license suspended or revoked, expensive fines and/or jail. A first DUI
offence in the state of New York can result in a fine of $500 and/or 15
days imprisonment. A second offense within 5 years of the first can be
punished by $750 in fines and 30 days in jail. A third conviction
within 10 years is a misdemeanor and can result in a $1500 fine and 180
days in prison. Multiple DWI convictions can result in felony DWI
charges. Felony charges are also brought against first time offenders
if there were injuries or deaths due to a car accident involving drunk
driving.
An officer will request a suspected drunk driver to submit to a
breathalyzer, intoxilyzer or other field test upon pulling that driver
over. A driver whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or
higher can be charged with misdemeanor DWI. If the BAC is excessively
high or there are other severe traffic violations involved, the driver
can face "aggravated DWI" charges. A refusal to take a test can result
in an immediate license suspension.

DWI Penalties in Orange County and New York
Penalties for DWI, statewide and nationwide, have only gotten tougher in recent years. Lawmakers, law enforcement and society at large have developed an attitude of zero tolerance toward those suspected of drinking and driving.
For instance: in New York, penalties for an aggravated DWI (.18 blood-alcohol content reading or higher) can be "enhanced" to include a loss of your driver's license for one year, even if it is your first conviction.
This kind of consequence can be life-altering — for you and your family.

Criminal law involves prosecution of a person for an act classified as a crime. In a criminal case, the state, through a prosecutor, brings the suit, while in a civil case the complainant initiates the suit. In order to prove any crime, no matter how serious, the prosecutor must prove that the accused committed a guilty act with a guilty mind beyond a reasonable doubt.

An advocate, by the sacred duty which he owes his client, knows in the discharge of that office but one person in the world, that client and none other. To save that client by all expedient means, to protect that client at all hazard and costs, to all others, and among others, to himself, is the highest and most unquestioned of his duties; and he must not regard the alarm, the suffering, the torment, the destruction which he may bring upon any other. Nay, separating even the duties of the patriot from those of an advocate, and casting them, if need be, to the wind, he must go on reckless of the consequences, if his fate it should unhappily be to involve his country in confusion for his client's protection.
