Monroe, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

The penalty will be based upon your prior history with the court, your facts, the skills of your attorney etc. Statutes have a minimum and a maximum but the penalty is usually in the middle or near the minimum unless you have a 20 page record and were egregious in your violation. I would need to know much more about you to estimate your penalty. Besides, why are you conceding guilt already. As an attorney, I try to win every charge in every case. It is only after all else fails that we concede penalty.

This depends upon what you mean by "original file copy." Original copies of the Uniform Traffic Ticket Complaint and similar documentation that was produced by the police or by the court are not kept by your attorney; these are kept by the court. Your attorney likely has copies of them, but they are not the originals. You can always obtain copies of these documents from the court if your attorney does not have them. If you are referring to documentation which your attorney has created in anticipation of litigation, then the attorney may not be required to give you these documents that are considered "work product." Your attorney has the responsibility to give you all other documents in your file upon request, unless you still owe the attorney for work performed.
