Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: dui/dwi

Yes, you should have an attorney. Not only are you charged with at least a misdemeanor (which carries a sentence of up to a year in jail), but if you have prior convictions for drunk driving you may be facing even more serious charges. The fact that there was an accident could result in additional charges. Also, you are facing the possibility of having your driver's license revoked. My office routinely handles these types of cases. Please feel free to contact us if we may be of any assistance.

Re: dui/dwi

Section 1192.3 is the "common law" DWI it is based on observation and is a harder test to prove in court. You should definitely have a lawyer because you risk jail, a stiff monetary fine, loss of license (revocation not suspension) and because if you are going to challenge the charge you have to know how to do motion practice and plea bargaining. You also need to know how to cross-examine...not a natural art form for many.

Finally if you are alleged to have refused a breath test, you have a right to challenge the DMV related suspension. If you missed the DMV hearing, you will need a lawyer to see if you can still get a DMV reversal. Even if you did actually refuse, the discovery from one of these out of court hearings is often invaluable on the case in chief.

Remember, Abe Lincoln told his clients a client who uses himself as a lawyer, is a fool of a client, or words to that effect.

Re: dui/dwi

You have been charged with driving under the influence. 1192(3) is known as common-law drunk driving; its based upon the officer's observations of your driving and your physical condition. Its an unclassified misdemeanor so its serious. You should definatly have an attorney.
