Key Differences Between DUI and DWI in New York
The terms DUI and DWI are used interchangeably in New York and refer to the same offense. The official title of the offense, however, is driving while intoxicated (DWI). If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures .08 percent or higher, you can be charged with DWI. You can also be charged if a police officer observes visible signs of intoxication without the results of a breathalyzer test or if such a test measures under .08 percent.
Understanding Probable Cause for DWI Arrests
Visible signs of intoxication—such as slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, or the perceptible smell of alcohol—constitute probable cause for an arrest. Driving with a BAC level of .02 to .07 percent can also lead to the charge of driving while ability-impaired, which has its own set of penalties and charges you face will always depend on how many times you've been convicted of drinking and driving and how high your blood alcohol content (BAC) was at the time of your stop.
Consequences of DUI/DWI Offenses in New York
Penalties for a DWI include up to a year in jail for a person's first violation, up to four years in jail for a second offense, and up to $10,000 in fines with up to seven years in jail for three offenses in 10 years. As of November 6th, 2024, if you are convicted of a DWI you will receive 11 license points under New York's new guidelines. If you are stopped by the police and face DWI charges, it's essential that you know your rights and begin working to prevent unfair treatment. Your New York DWI attorney will help you fight for alternative penalties and reduced charges so that you can protect your reputation and freedoms.

I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.Eric D.

I would like to personally thank Mr. Martin Kron for his help in getting a no left turn moving violation dismissed. I had a clean driving record with no moving violation and after speaking with Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be. He said he would only do his best and I gave him my case. I was extremely worried because it was an injustice based on the circumstances and Mr. Kron was able to get the moving violation to dismiss and I thank him very much. I recommend Mr. Kron for traffic violations without hesitation, and again I say "Thank You" Mr. Kron.Irving

Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.Orlene

I owe Marty a debt of gratitude for the way in which he counseled me on traffic tickets and what to do in court. I would give Marty my highest recommendation. He REALLY knows his stuff. Do hire him with confidence. While I hope I never need him again I rest a little easier knowing that I have him by my side. Thanks, Marty.Rand
