Flores: Being charged with a crime is nothing anyone wants, or expects
to happen. But when it happens, it is essential that you have an
aggressive defense. A criminal conviction, even for a misdemeanor, can
have serious consequences. You may be forced to pay large fines,
forfeit property, and even serve jail or prison time. The government
will work hard to convict you. You need an attorney that will work hard
to defend you.
- Donald Kelly: Its crucial to hire experienced legal counsel
if you took a Breathalyzer or blood alcohol test in connection with
your charges. The state is gathering evidence against you that you will
be unable to defend on your own. By hiring our criminal defense DUI
attorneys, you will have a much greater chance of contesting the
evidence in order to have the charges reduced or dismissed altogether,
possibly saving your driving privileges, your ability to go to work,
and other freedoms you take for granted.
- Craig
Schlanger:
If you are arrested for breaking a criminal law, the case is
taken before a magistrate who may issue a warrant if necessary
and set bond for appearance in court. If the defendant cannot
post the bond he may be incarcerated pending appearance in
court. If bond is posted, he will remain free pending
appearance at an arraignment. An arraignment usually occurs
within 24 hours of the arrest or the first date available if on
a weekend or holiday. The arraignment is held before a judge of
the courts. During the arraignment the defendant is formally
told what offense he is charged with, told their constitutional
rights, and of the possible penalties. The defendant will enter
a plea of guilty or not guilty, bond may be reviewed, and a
date for the next hearing will be scheduled.
- Raymond Dague:
Traffic offenses are usually violations, although some charges
such as driving while intoxicated (DWI) are misdemeanors and
felonies in New York State.
- Huling & Pacheco:
DUI is shorthand for Driving Under the Influence. A person is
guilty of DUI if he or she drives or is in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle and is under the influence of
alcoholic beverages or any chemical or controlled substance to
the extent that his or her mental faculties are impaired or
when his or her blood alcohol level (BAC) is above the legal
limit for the state.
- James S. Chatwin:
DWI Defense
Driving While Intoxicated - felony and misdemeanor
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) over .08 percent
AUO 3rd, AUO 2nd, Unlicensed, Speeding, etc.
Thousands of motorists are charged with DWI each year on
the roads and highways of New York. Unfortunately, the way
our laws are going, even if you have a small amount of
alcohol and are not impaired - as long as you smell like
alcohol or tell a police officer you've had a drink - your
chances of being arrested are very high. If arrested you
will likely lose your license to a suspension pending
prosecution. If an aggressive attorney is retained early,
however, it is very possible that your driving privileges
can be restored by application to the court.
- Dennis
Claus:
A DWI case is the only one in which the opinion factor
comes into play for evidence. It is the arresting officer's
opinion that you were intoxicated... that you failed the
field tests... Only in a DWI case is there subjective
evidence, the "voodoo science" field tests. "9 thousand 9
hundred and ninety-three steamboats... Please, officer, can
I put my foot back down yet?"
