A DWI conviction in New York will result in a number of serious consequences, including possible jail time, the suspension of your driver’s license, heavy fines, probation, and more.

In the state of New York, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above .08%. If your BAC meets or exceeds .08% at the time you are pulled over, you will be arrested and booked on DWI charges. Furthermore, if your BAC is above .18% you will be charged with the much more serious offense of aggravated DWI. Drivers in New York can also be charged under the “common law” theory. This theory states that, after evaluating the circumstances and all of the evidence, an officer can arrest you for DWI if he/she feels you were intoxicated.
Both DWI and aggravated DWI are serious crimes in New York that must be handled by a lawyer who has the necessary experience, resources, and skill, as these offenses will trigger two separate and complex legal processes.
