Been Charged With Drunk Driving or DWAI?
When charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving while ability impaired (DWAI) or another traffic offense in New York, many people are tempted to try to handle these matters themselves.

Know the Consequences of DWI and Traffic Convictions
Paying a ticket is an admission of guilt. Before you pay a ticket or plead guilty to a DWI, speak with an attorney to protect your rights. Traffic convictions, even minor speeding tickets, can dramatically increase your car insurance rates or lead to a suspension of your driving privileges. A guilty plea in a DWI case means that if you get another DWI conviction in the next 10 years, you face enhanced penalties, including a possible prison sentence.
Our attorneys represent people in drunk driving cases involving:
- First-offense DWI
- DWAI — alcohol
- DWAI — drugs
- Aggravated DWI, including driving with minor children
- Repeat offenders
- Underage DWI
- Commercial driver DWI
Because New York's traffic and drunk driving laws are constantly changing, it is important to discuss your situation with an experienced traffic attorney. We always take the time to educate you about the penalties involved with your traffic offense or DWI charge. Given the possibility of jail time, large fines and the loss of your driving privileges, you simply can't afford to hire the wrong attorney.
