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.

    "No fine and no points on my license!"
    Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!

    "Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."
    I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!

    "Good communication the entire time."
    I am an idiot and got a ticket for doing 90 in a 40 in Manhattan. Martin and his people were very helpful throughout the process, keeping good communication with me the entire time. Just got word that the ticket was dismissed. THANKS MARTIN!
    Satisfied Client
    "I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it."
    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.

    "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

    "So personable and nice."
    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
    "Excellent Service!"
    Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.
    Kevin
    "Attentive, grade A service"

    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!
