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.

    "He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did."

    I Hired Martin to help resolve 2 tickets I received for improper use of a cellphone. Martin listened to my story and was very honest and said I would lose the case unless I could prove it was a dire emergency. Martin explained how the process worked and that there was no ability to plea the tickets down. He explained points of law and how his firm would represent me in the cases. He did this during a Sunday morning while with his family. I was very impressed with his dedication to my cases. He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did. Very classy.

    By the way, he won the first case for me! Second is pending. But regardless of the outcome, I know he is working hard to represent my case properly. Thanks for everything

    "He went above and beyond."
    He went above and beyond. Martin's combination of experience, honesty, and positive demeanor helped me.

    "He was always calm and patient with me."
    Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!

    "Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."
    In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.

    "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    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.

    "Got me a great outcome!!"
    Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!

    "If you need an Ace in the hole, he's your man!"
    Mr. Kron was on top of my case like an eagle in the treetops and kept me informed the entire time of every change as well as every possible outcome. His attention to detail, professionalism, and demeanor is UNMATCHED.
