What are the Penalties for a Felony DUI/DWI in New York?
In New York, a felony DUI/DWI charge is a very serious offense that can have life-changing consequences. Felony charges are typically brought against individuals previously convicted of multiple offenses or who have caused serious injuries or death while operating a vehicle under the influence. The penalties for a felony DUI/DWI conviction in New York can include:
- Lengthy Prison Sentence
- Hefty Fines
- Driver's License Revocation
- Probation
- Ignition Interlock Devices
- Mandatory Alcohol Education Programs
Defenses Against Felony DUI/DWI Charges
Some potential defenses against felony DUI/DWI charges include:
- Illegal Stop or Arrest: If law enforcement officers did not have reasonable doubt to stop your vehicle or lacked probable cause to arrest you, evidence gathered during the stop and subsequent arrest may be challenged.
- Faulty BAC Testing: Breathalyzer and blood tests are not infallible and can produce inaccurate results due to various factors. We can investigate whether the testing equipment was properly calibrated and maintained or the testing procedures were flawed.
- Miranda Rights Violation: If you were not informed of your Miranda rights during your arrest, your statements may be inadmissible in court.
- Rising BAC Defense: It's possible that your BAC was under the legal limit while driving but increased by the testing time. This can be due to the "rising blood alcohol" phenomenon, where your BAC rises after you stop drinking.
- Field Sobriety Test Reliability: We can question the accuracy and fairness of field sobriety tests, as various factors unrelated to intoxication can affect a person's performance.

Martin took on my case for a flat rate and guaranteed a full refund if he couldn't reverse the suspension. Three weeks later, my license was fully restored!John L.

I am very happy with Mr. Kron's help. He had my ticket for driving with lapsed insurance in New Jersey (1st offense, no bad driving history) dismissed, all I had to pay were $33.00 in court fees. I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it.Mariya

My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.Augie

Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!Eileen

I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.Rachel

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
