The New York DWI DUI attorney you choose must be experienced and knowledgeable in DWI DUI defense because the “trigger” or predicate for a more serious felony charge is the particular, or what is referred to as the “underlying,” DWI or DWAI charge. If you beat the DWI charge, you will generally be at a more severe expense.
If you cause serious physical injury or death, depending on what the underlying DWI or DWAI charge is, you could be charged with one or more of the following:
In most cases, even if you were driving while intoxicated or impaired by drugs and someone suffered a severe injury or death, the prosecution must also prove that your intoxication or impairment was the cause of the physical injury or death.
Satisfied Client Reviews
In these types of DWI or DWAI DUI cases, there are generally three theories of defense that a DWI attorney in New York can pursue alone or in combination:
The most important thing you should do is thoroughly research the attorney you hire. When facing these types of charges, which defense lawyer you choose might very well be the most crucial decision of your life. Now is not the time to price shop. However, that doesn’t mean you should pay unreasonable legal fees, nor does the cost you pay an attorney in a criminal case guarantee a particular outcome.
You must also understand that no matter what your New York DWI DUI lawyer charges you, there is a genuine chance you can be convicted. Your lawyer might know the law and the rules of evidence better than the judge or have more experience than the prosecutor, but if you drove your car through the front door of the mayor’s house while intoxicated, resulting in serious physical injuries or death, you have a problem.
In these cases, your attorney’s ability to negotiate with the prosecution can, at times, gain you a plea bargain which minimizes the legal punishment you are facing.
