    DWI | DWAI Charges

    In New York State, a person who is operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or above can be arrested and charged with DWI. Such a charge carries severe consequences, including a license revocation. DWI offenders could face to up to one year in jail or three years' probation and a $500 - $1,000 fine.

    A DWAI is a lesser charge that applies to individuals who are operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration that is between .05 and .07. DWAI penalties can include a $300 - $500 fine, up to 15 days in jail, or both.

    The consequences for either a DWI or DWAI conviction increase drastically if you have a prior conviction. Contact a White Plains DWI lawyer to protect yourself.

    A DWAI charge can also apply to a person who is operating a motor vehicle who has ingested a drug which impairs their ability to operate the vehicle.  This charge can be a crime, either misdemeanor or felony.

    Drivers’ License Suspensions

    Conviction on a DWI or DWAI charge will result in a mandatory suspension or revocation of your driving privileges. The length of the suspension or revocation is determined by whether you are convicted of DWI, or DWAI and can last as much as six months.

    An experienced DWI attorney can dramatically reduce the probability that you will face such serious consequences.
