DWI statute of limitations is five years. If charged correctly, it will be an E-felony and carries:

• A fine of no less than $1,000 and no more than $5,000.

• Mandatory jail time of at least 5 days or at least 30 days community service, or possible prison time of up to 4 years.

• Loss of license for at least 1 year.

You really ought to get a good attorney who has a real expertise in the area of law. IF you need a referral, call me and I will recommend someone. Otherwise call the NYS Assoc. of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Manhattan.

Good Luck.
