Frequently Asked Questions About DWI Charges
- What should I do if I’m pulled over for suspicion of DWI?
Remain calm and polite. Provide the officer with your license, registration, and proof of insurance. You have the right to remain silent and the right to refuse a field sobriety test, but refusing a chemical test (breathalyzer) can result in an automatic license suspension. Contact me as soon as possible to discuss your case. - What are the potential penalties for a DWI conviction?
Penalties for DWI convictions in New York can include fines, license suspension or revocation, mandatory alcohol education programs, community service, probation, and even jail time. The severity of the penalties depends on various factors, including your blood alcohol content (BAC), prior DWI convictions, and whether there were any aggravating factors such as an accident or injury. - Can I fight a DWI charge?
Yes, there are multiple defenses available to fight a DWI charge. These can include challenging the legality of the traffic stop, the accuracy of the breathalyzer test, the procedures followed by law enforcement, and any violations of your rights. As your Huntington DWI Attorney, I will thoroughly investigate your case and develop a robust defense strategy. - How long will a DWI charge stay on my record?
In New York, a DWI conviction can stay on your driving record for up to 10 years. However, certain aspects of the conviction may have long-term effects on your criminal record and can influence future employment opportunities and insurance rates. It is crucial to address these charges promptly and effectively with experienced legal representation.
