Understanding the Penalties for 2nd DUI/DWI in New York

The state of New York takes a tough stance against multiple DUI/DWI offenses, aiming to deter individuals from engaging in dangerous behavior behind the wheel. The penalties for multiple DUI/DWI convictions can be very severe and can have a lasting impact on various aspects of your life. It is crucial to understand the potential consequences you might face:

  • License Suspension or Revocation: Multiple DUI/DWI convictions can lead to extended periods of license suspension or even permanent revocation, depriving you of your driving privileges and affecting your mobility.
  • Fines and Financial Impact: The fines for multiple DUI/DWI convictions can accumulate significantly, leading to a substantial financial burden. Court costs and fees can further compound these fines.
  • Jail Time: Repeated DUI/DWI offenses often carry mandatory minimum jail sentences, ranging from several days to months or even years, relying on the number of prior convictions and the case circumstances.
  • Ignition Interlock Device: New York law may require the installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle, which stops the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected on your breath.
  • Criminal Record: Convictions for multiple DUI/DWI offenses result in a permanent criminal record, potentially impacting your employment prospects, housing options, and more.

Effective Defenses Against 2nd DUI/DWI Charges

Some potential defenses against multiple DUI/DWI charges include:

  • Unlawful Stop or Arrest: If law enforcement lacked proper cause to stop or arrest you, evidence collected during the stop may be inadmissible in court.
  • Improper Field Sobriety Tests: Our attorneys scrutinize the administration of field sobriety tests to ensure they were conducted correctly and fairly, as errors can impact the validity of the results.
  • Breathalyzer Calibration Issues: Breathalyzer devices must be regularly calibrated and maintained. Any deviations from proper calibration protocols may cast suspicion on the accuracy of the test results.
  • Violation of Miranda Rights: If you were not informed of your Miranda rights during the arrest process, your statements may be inadmissible in court.
  • Rising Blood Alcohol Content (BAC): It takes time for alcohol to be completely absorbed into the bloodstream. We may argue that your BAC was still rising at the time of the arrest, potentially leading to a higher reading than your actual level of impairment.

Your Rights After a Multiple Offense DUI Charge

Facing multiple DUI charges can be overwhelming, but it's crucial to understand your rights throughout the legal process. At Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C., we believe that informed clients are empowered clients. Knowing your rights can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and make the best decisions for your future.

Here are some key rights you should be aware of:

  • The Right to Remain Silent: You do not have to answer questions or provide information that may incriminate you.
  • The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to consult with an attorney before speaking to law enforcement or making any legal decisions.
  • The Right to a Fair Trial: Every individual is entitled to a fair trial, which includes the right to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
  • The Right to Challenge Evidence: You can dispute the validity of the evidence against you, including breathalyzer results and field sobriety tests.
  • The Right to Appeal: If convicted, you have the right to appeal the decision, potentially reducing penalties or overturning the conviction.

Understanding these rights is the first step in building a strong defense. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage of the process. Contact us today to discuss your case and explore your options for effective representation.

    "He was always calm and patient with me."
    Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!

    "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.

    "Martin and Vanessa are superlative professionals, and I can't recommend them highly enough!"
    Martin took on my case for a flat rate and guaranteed a full refund if he couldn't reverse the suspension. Three weeks later, my license was fully restored!

    "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.

    "Martin is the perfect person for this job."

    As a former NYS Traffic Law Judge and having previously sat where the Judges before him now sit, Martin is the perfect person for this job. Besides a plethora of experience on and off the bench, he's kind and honest, he listens and is attentive to your concerns, is straightforward and most importantly, gives out reasonable expectations. He always returns phone calls in a timely manner and makes himself accessible even on weekends. And to top it off, he even has a sense of humor. Hope I never have to hire him again, but if the situation arises, he's my go-to guy!

    "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

    "I walked out with my best possible outcome."

    After receiving a ticket for driving in a construction zone, I reached out to Marty who was highly recommended to me. Marty was terrific and clearly laid out all the possible scenarios. Sometimes court can be overwhelming (points, no points, fine, reduced fine, guilty vs not guilty) yet Marty made everything simple and focused on what outcome was most important for me. Due to Marty, I walked in confident and walked out with my best possible outcome

    I hope to not be in court again for any type of traffic violation but Marty will be my first call if I need assistance and anyone else reading this should do the same.

    "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.
