New
York DWI & DUI Laws
DWI arrests in New York will trigger two separate cases for those accused of driving while impaired. The first is the DWI case in criminal court; the second is the DMV case, where the New York DMV is empowered to suspend the driving privileges of those accused of DWI or DWAI (driving while abilities are impaired by alcohol).
New York DWI cases (also known as DUI – Driving Under the Influence) can be brought under one of two theories: either violation of the DWI "per se" law (which is based only on alcohol level, not driving impairment), or under a traditional "common law" theory (where the prosecution must prove that the driver is intoxicated). Intoxication, for the purpose of Vehicle and Traffic Laws, is a condition where the motorist lacks the necessary physical and mental skills to operate a motor vehicle as a reasonable and prudent driver. New York DWI arrests based on the common law theory do not require any measurement of BAC; they may be based entirely on the opinion of the arresting officer.
You need a qualified DWI attorney at your side.
New York State Criminal DWI Defense Attorney
Loss of your driver’s license. Heavy fines. Court costs and extensive administrative fees. Probation. Jail or State prison. Vehicle impoundment or forfeiture. An ignition interlock device put on your car. These are all consequences that can flow from a DWI arrest and prosecution. New York State treats Driving While Intoxicated (“DWI”) seriously. The laws are strict, the prosecutors and courts often act without mercy or discretion, and the punishments are harsh.
