Fultonville, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

I highly doubt it, but I would have to see the facts. For sentencing purposes, a Negligent 1 is considered a prior, so if you are convicted of this DUI, you will be sentenced as a 2nd DUI.

What are my penalties?? If charged as a misdemeanor, up to a year in jail. If a felony, from one to four years, depending upon the specific charges filed. What will the outcome ?? The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, etc. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

If you are convicted of DWI in New York, your NY State Drivers License will definitely be suspended. You should consult with an attorney before pleading to any criminal offense. -Justin M. Roper, Esq.Nass & Roper Law, LLP(718) 775-3246
