DWI/DWAI ARRESTS ARE A BIG DEAL

New York State takes Driving While Ability Impaired (known as "DWAI") and Driving While Intoxicated (known as "DWI") arrests seriously and so should you.  Such an arrest may trigger two separate cases: (1) a criminal case and, when a person refuses to submit to the Breathalyzer test, also (2) a DMV case.

DeVerna Law has the experience you need to navigate through both these cases and can help you get the best resolution possible.

THE DWI PENALTIES ARE SEVERE

Depending on the facts particular to a case, a DWI conviction means more than just having a criminal record.  The additional penalties for a misdemeanor may include:

 

  • Incarceration (jail) for up to one year

  • Probation for up to three years

  • Driver's License Suspension for at least six months

  • A fine between $300 and $1,000

  • Up to $750 in Driver Responsibility Assessment fees

  • Community Service Requirements

  • Drinking and Driving Program (DDP) with costs up to $300

  • Victim Impact Panel

  • Vehicle Interlock Device with a set up fee of $125 and monthly service fee of up to $110
