Avoid Jail After New York DWI

A good New York DWI attorney will fight the charges you are facing so you can avoid jail time and other harsh penalties.

When you think about people who are behind bars, you may think of violent felons who have been locked up to protect the rest of society. What you probably would not think about is someone who has been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). However, with New York lawmakers voting in stricter and stricter penalties for drunk drivers, this may indeed be the case!

Whether a DWI in New York will mean jail time depends on the unique facts and circumstances involved in each case. It is fair to say, however, that most first-time New York DWI offenders do not receive jail sentences.   We understand New York DWI laws and because we understand these laws we also understand your concerns about jail.  We will help you to avoid or significantly reduce the length of any jail sentence.

Whether this is your first DWI in New York or your third offense, the sooner you talk to a lawyer the better your chances will be to minimize the damage and avoid jail.  There are many alternatives that can be negotiated with the prosecutor for various alternative sentencing options, including:  fines, community service, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, installation of an ignition interlock device, house arrest, electronic monitoring and probation. 

We know you need to stay out of jail after your New York DWI.  In summary, these things may help you avoid jail after your arrest:

  1. Remember your Miranda rights and don’t speak to the police.
  2. Don’t take the field sobriety tests – they are optional!
  3. Take notes about your arrest as soon as possible.  Where were you stopped? What did the officer say to you?  What did you say to the officer?
  4. Contact a New York DWI lawyer right away.
  5. Exercise your Constitutional rights and fight these New York DWI charges!
