Potential Consequences of a DWI Conviction
In New York, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or more is illegal and could result in a DWI/DUI arrest. Additionally, if you are caught operating a vehicle with a BAC of .18 or higher, you could face an aggravated DWI charge, which is penalized by harsher punishments.
Being found guilty of a DWI/DUI could result in jail time, fines, and a driver’s license revocation, which could affect your finances, relationships, and ability to take care of everyday tasks. Also, the conviction information may show up on your criminal record, making it difficult to find employment.
I understand the life-changing consequences of a conviction, and I am committed to providing the dedicated representation you need to defend your case.
While each arrest is different, the following penalties could be brought if you are found guilty of DWI.
First-Time DWI
- Up to 1 year of jail time
- Fines between $500 and $1000
- Minimum license suspension of 6 months
