Drugs and Driving and Your Defense
Generally speaking, a Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) charge is a lesser charge than DWI. However, this is not the case with DWAI Drugs. Driving while high is a misdemeanor offense that presents unique evidentiary issues. You need an attorney who is experienced in handling these types of cases to protect your license and your future.

Experienced in Defending DWAI
DWAIs are treated seriously by the prosecution. Depending on your prior driving history, accident history, any prior arrests and the seriousness of the specific charge, you may be potentially charged with a felony. Prosecutors will seek to convict you of the charges. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers can challenge every aspect of the state's case. We will seek an acquittal at trial, a dismissal of the charges, or a plea agreement that mitigates some of the penalties. In every case, we will work to achieve the best possible result.
The Albany law office of Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP has substantial experience fighting DWAIs, DWIs, repeat offense DWIs and other traffic violation charges, from Saugerties to Chatham, and from Kingston to Albany. We offer affordable, effective and timely DWAI defense.

As a defense attorney and traffic law prosecutor, lawyer Kevin Colwell understands both sides of the case.* He is well aware, as you should be, that when a defendant represents himself in a criminal case, the prosecutor will typically have an easier time proving the charges.
With a lawyer present, the prosecutor will hear about:
- Drug screen concerns
- Issues with probable cause
- Field sobriety testing problems
- Issues with the stop
- Your good qualities and background
- Your past driver's record and criminal record, if applicable
- Any extenuating circumstances
Thorough and Vigorous Defense
We vigorously and thoroughly investigate the events leading up to your arrest. We review your own history- do you need to obtain a drug or alcohol evaluation? If you need treatment, this can work in favor of your case.
