Being charged with DWI or DWAI in New York can have serious legal, financial, and personal consequences. At Ianniello Anderson, P.C., we help clients throughout Albany, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Glens Falls, and surrounding areas protect their rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
Every DWI case is different, but our approach begins the same way—with a full review of the charges, the potential penalties, and the legal strategies available to you.
Understanding the Penalties for DWI/DWAI in New York
Unless you are found not guilty or the charges are dismissed, a DWI conviction typically includes:
Fines
Temporary driver’s license suspension (commonly 90 days to 6 months)
Ignition interlock device installation (required in many cases)
Jail time for repeat offenses or serious circumstances
Higher insurance premiums that can last for years
Even a first offense can have lasting consequences. That’s why it’s critical to have an experienced DWI attorney review your case and build a strong defense.
Defending Against DWI Charges
To secure a conviction, prosecutors must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Our job is to challenge the evidence, question the validity of tests, and raise that doubt.
We scrutinize:
The accuracy of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results
Whether the traffic stop was lawful
How the arrest was conducted
Whether your rights were violated during or after the stop
In many cases, we also demonstrate our client’s proactive steps—such as attending alcohol education programs or defensive driving courses—to show a commitment to rehabilitation and reduce potential penalties.
