Understanding the Penalties for 2nd DUI/DWI in New York

The state of New York takes a tough stance against multiple DUI/DWI offenses, aiming to deter individuals from engaging in dangerous behavior behind the wheel. The penalties for multiple DUI/DWI convictions can be very severe and can have a lasting impact on various aspects of your life. It is crucial to understand the potential consequences you might face:

  • License Suspension or Revocation: Multiple DUI/DWI convictions can lead to extended periods of license suspension or even permanent revocation, depriving you of your driving privileges and affecting your mobility.
  • Fines and Financial Impact: The fines for multiple DUI/DWI convictions can accumulate significantly, leading to a substantial financial burden. Court costs and fees can further compound these fines.
  • Jail Time: Repeated DUI/DWI offenses often carry mandatory minimum jail sentences, ranging from several days to months or even years, relying on the number of prior convictions and the case circumstances.
  • Ignition Interlock Device: New York law may require the installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle, which stops the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected on your breath.
  • Criminal Record: Convictions for multiple DUI/DWI offenses result in a permanent criminal record, potentially impacting your employment prospects, housing options, and more.

Effective Defenses Against 2nd DUI/DWI Charges

Some potential defenses against multiple DUI/DWI charges include:

  • Unlawful Stop or Arrest: If law enforcement lacked proper cause to stop or arrest you, evidence collected during the stop may be inadmissible in court.
  • Improper Field Sobriety Tests: Our attorneys scrutinize the administration of field sobriety tests to ensure they were conducted correctly and fairly, as errors can impact the validity of the results.
  • Breathalyzer Calibration Issues: Breathalyzer devices must be regularly calibrated and maintained. Any deviations from proper calibration protocols may cast suspicion on the accuracy of the test results.
  • Violation of Miranda Rights: If you were not informed of your Miranda rights during the arrest process, your statements may be inadmissible in court.
  • Rising Blood Alcohol Content (BAC): It takes time for alcohol to be completely absorbed into the bloodstream. We may argue that your BAC was still rising at the time of the arrest, potentially leading to a higher reading than your actual level of impairment.

Your Rights After a Multiple Offense DUI Charge

Facing multiple DUI charges can be overwhelming, but it's crucial to understand your rights throughout the legal process. At Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C., we believe that informed clients are empowered clients. Knowing your rights can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and make the best decisions for your future.

Here are some key rights you should be aware of:

  • The Right to Remain Silent: You do not have to answer questions or provide information that may incriminate you.
  • The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to consult with an attorney before speaking to law enforcement or making any legal decisions.
  • The Right to a Fair Trial: Every individual is entitled to a fair trial, which includes the right to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
  • The Right to Challenge Evidence: You can dispute the validity of the evidence against you, including breathalyzer results and field sobriety tests.
  • The Right to Appeal: If convicted, you have the right to appeal the decision, potentially reducing penalties or overturning the conviction.

Understanding these rights is the first step in building a strong defense. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage of the process. Contact us today to discuss your case and explore your options for effective representation.

    "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!
    Guillermo
    "Reduced my son's fine considerably."
    My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.
    Paul
    "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.

    "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!

    "Would highly recommend, thank you again!"
    The NY DMV can be difficult to navigate, I am so glad that I called Martin A. Kron & Associates. Vanessa and the team resolved a difficult situation for my family in a matter of days.

    "Mr. Kron is wonderful!"
    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
    "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!
    John
    "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.
