She can help you navigate the sometimes-confusing New York DWI legal system; and she’ll explain your rights. Just because you were arrested doesn’t mean you are guilty.

If you’ve been arrested for a New York DWI, you may be given a non-criminal traffic infraction or you could be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony. The penalties vary, and they can be severe. If you have been arrested for VTL section 1192.1, a non-criminal traffic infraction, you could face 15 days in jail and a fine of $500. Most commonly, a New York DWI arrest will result in a VTL Section 1192.2 charge. This is a misdemeanor criminal offense. The consequences for a conviction are a maximum fine of $1,000.00 and a maximum jail term of one year. There is a mandatory license revocation for six (6) months. If you’ve been convicted of a prior misdemeanor DWI a second New York DWI may be charged as a class "E" felony. You could face a fine of $5,000.00, a five-year probation term and up to four years in prison.

New York Arrest and Release
If someone you care about has been arrested, visit New York Department of Corrections web site for detail information.
New York Expungement
Expungement of criminal records in New York can be a complex process, and the ability to clean up past criminal convictions depends upon many different factors. Only in exceptional circumstances where there has been an error in the reporting of the criminal offense can a DWI expungement be performed. It is possible, however, to obtain a certificate of relief from civil disabilities so that a criminal conviction will not effect New York state licensing decisions. It is important that you consult with a lawyer that is skilled in matters pertaining to New York expungement.
Other New York Resources
There are a variety of special problems that arise following a New York drunk driving, DUI, or DWI arrest. It may be necessary to use a bail bondsman to help a friend or loved one gain release from custody. Renting a car may be difficult (although we know of several companies that will do so), as is getting car insurance. There may be a requirement to attend special alcohol programs, or AA meetings.
