New York City DWI Lawyer

Most people who are arrested for drunk driving (DWI), which includes Driving While Intoxicated or Driving While impaired by Alcohol or Drugs, in New York will be shocked to discover that if your breathalyzer reading is over a .08% or if you refuse to take a breath or blood test, your license will be immediately and automatically suspended - even before a trial is held to determine your guilt or innocence. If you possess a commercial driver’s license, different laws and penalties apply to you. Being that your livelihood and career may depend on your driver’s license, it is imperative that you hire an attorney immediately.

 

After your arrest for drunk driving (DWI), work on your defense must begin right away. You should have an attorney who will begin to fight to get your license back, retrieve all police paperwork in connection with the arrest, investigate the accuracy of the breath or blood tests that may have been administered, prepare evidence to convince a court to grant you a temporary (hardship) license, contact the NYPD to begin proceedings to recover your seized vehicle and, if you refused a breath or blood test, prepare for a “refusal hearing” which will occur 15 days after your arrest.
