New York Criminal Defense Lawyer
With every passing year, New York DWI penalties get tougher and enforcement in the Nassau County and New York City areas becomes more aggressive. It is now far too great a risk to face any type of drunk driving offense without a deeply experienced New York criminal defense attorney on your side. Anything you have heard from a friend, from a family member or in the news could be outdated, inaccurate information.
At any point in your ordeal arising from a New York DWI arrest — and the sooner the better — the best move you can make is to call 800-399-7098 and talk to a defense lawyer at our firm.
Learn the Consequences and Get Help Making the Best Possible Decisions
Expressed in many different ways by people across the cultural and economic spectrum, "I've been arrested. What does it mean?" is a question we hear nearly every day. Many factors and circumstances determine the precise answer for you, but a DWI arrest definitely means:
- You have a lot on the line. Life-changing consequences of a conviction could include jail time, serious fines and costs, long-term or permanent loss of your driver's license, mandatory use of an ignition interlock device and even forfeiture of your vehicle.
- Every decision you make and every step you take from the moment you were stopped could have major implications on your ability to avoid conviction or win reduced consequences.
- Your driver's license is already suspended, because you have been accused of DWI — even though you may not be convicted. Getting legal counsel and taking action quickly is essential if you hope to protect your driving privilege or get a conditional, "hardship" license to drive to work or meet other critical obligations.
- You have a court appearance and a separate hearing on your driving privilege in your immediate future. Not showing up or handling either on your own could have crippling consequences you have not yet considered.
