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.

"We were up first and out first."Marty met me 15 minutes before court was due to start exactly as we agreed. He spoke to the prosecutor and as indicated in the title, cut the points on my two tickets from 8 to 2, reduced my fines by a third, and we were out of court in 45 minutes. Had they started on time it would have been only 30 minutes instead of the hours it might have been with all the people that showed up. We were up first and out first. I bet he was there quite a bit earlier than I was to accomplish this feat.Jeff

"Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.Robert

"Attentive, grade A service"
I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!
