Key Differences Between DUI and DWI in New York
The terms DUI and DWI are used interchangeably in New York and refer to the same offense. The official title of the offense, however, is driving while intoxicated (DWI). If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures .08 percent or higher, you can be charged with DWI. You can also be charged if a police officer observes visible signs of intoxication without the results of a breathalyzer test or if such a test measures under .08 percent.
Understanding Probable Cause for DWI Arrests
Visible signs of intoxication—such as slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, or the perceptible smell of alcohol—constitute probable cause for an arrest. Driving with a BAC level of .02 to .07 percent can also lead to the charge of driving while ability-impaired, which has its own set of penalties and charges you face will always depend on how many times you've been convicted of drinking and driving and how high your blood alcohol content (BAC) was at the time of your stop.
Consequences of DUI/DWI Offenses in New York
Penalties for a DWI include up to a year in jail for a person's first violation, up to four years in jail for a second offense, and up to $10,000 in fines with up to seven years in jail for three offenses in 10 years. As of November 6th, 2024, if you are convicted of a DWI you will receive 11 license points under New York's new guidelines. If you are stopped by the police and face DWI charges, it's essential that you know your rights and begin working to prevent unfair treatment. Your New York DWI attorney will help you fight for alternative penalties and reduced charges so that you can protect your reputation and freedoms.

"I will never deal with another attorney again."
I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.
As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.

"I was out of the court in 20 minutes."Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.Satisfied Client

"SAVED MY LICENSE"My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.Augie

"He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did."
I Hired Martin to help resolve 2 tickets I received for improper use of a cellphone. Martin listened to my story and was very honest and said I would lose the case unless I could prove it was a dire emergency. Martin explained how the process worked and that there was no ability to plea the tickets down. He explained points of law and how his firm would represent me in the cases. He did this during a Sunday morning while with his family. I was very impressed with his dedication to my cases. He didn't have to talk to me on his weekend but he did. Very classy.
By the way, he won the first case for me! Second is pending. But regardless of the outcome, I know he is working hard to represent my case properly. Thanks for everything

"Hire him with confidence."I owe Marty a debt of gratitude for the way in which he counseled me on traffic tickets and what to do in court. I would give Marty my highest recommendation. He REALLY knows his stuff. Do hire him with confidence. While I hope I never need him again I rest a little easier knowing that I have him by my side. Thanks, Marty.Rand
