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.

    "I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."
    I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.

    "The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him."
    Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.

    "Very professional and quick."
    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.

    "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!

    "He did the IMPOSSIBLE!"
    I almost never write reviews, but he did the impossible today which warrants a review.

    "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

    "Martin took care of two tickets that were worth 8 points on my license!"
    Martin and his team were so professional, attentive, and responsive. I recommend Martin 100%!! Thank you so much. Very very much appreciated.

    "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
