- Braunfotel & Frendel:
A first priority for many people who have been arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol is to keep their driver's licenses.

Should you refuse a breathalyzer test?
Many drivers stopped for DWI wonder whether they should refuse to take a
breathalyzer test. If you refuse, your license will be suspended and you
will need to attend a DMV hearing to recover it. We attend such hearings
with clients, making sure that the police had probable cause for the
traffic stop and whether you were informed about the possible loss of
your license if you refuse a test. You must appear at the hearing within
10 days. Otherwise, your license will be revoked for up to one year. It
is critical to have experienced counsel with you at this hearing to
protect your rights. Are lesser penalties possible?
Depending on the level of the drunk driving charge, our attorneys may be
able to negotiate alternate penalties. Some of our clients have
performed community service in lieu of jail time. Others have obtained
reduced sentences. Our law firm has been defending people in Rockland
County against charges such as DWAI (driving while alcohol-impaired) and
aggravated DWI (driving with a blood alcohol content of .18 or higher)
since 1973.

- Emily
Fabrizio: If you are convicted of a misdemeanor offense, such as drunk
driving, you could lose your driver's license, be forced to pay large
fines and court costs, lose your vehicle, be ordered to alcohol
treatment, and even serve jail time. Criminal cases require aggressive
and skilled defense.
