A reading in excess of .20 is well above the .18 aggravated threshold and the kind of number that gives most people little hope. Drawing on my familiarity with the Northport Village Court and the Suffolk prosecutors who cover it, I was able to negotiate the charge down from the most serious misdemeanor DWI level to driving while ability impaired, the non-criminal traffic infraction. My client walked out with no criminal conviction.
When the reading is over .20 and the DA’s office has little reason to bend, the specific court and the lawyer’s standing in it matter. Text my cell directly 24/7 to put 31+ years of criminal defense experience in your corner.
