Oswego, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

No Miranda: The remedy for not being read your rights ("Mirandized") is that any admissions found to be involuntary that you may have made to the police cannot be used against you. It does not mean an automatic dismissal of the charges against you. The police know this so they don't bother Mirandizing you if they don't need your statements or a confession to prove your guilt. No expungement: I am sorry to be the one to tell you that there is no expungement in the State of New York.

Hire an attorney to petition the court for expungment. There are procedure that are required to be follwoed by the court in various jurisdictions regarding expungments.

I am an attorney who exclusively handles DUI cases, I think it is a good idea to hire an attorney, the law is complicated, the evidence isnt always as solid as it appears and mis-steps can result in greater penalties, like higher fines, longer sentences, jail instead of sentencing alternatives, longer license suspensions, more expensive insurance rates and, in some cases, additional charges. The appointed attorney will do their best for you in court but may not have the experience or training to know the science of chemical testing and rarely do they understand how a court resolution will affect the DMV and your driving privilege. You should consult a local DUI attorney to discuss the facts of your case, the defenses that may be applicable and the possible outcomes. Many DUI attorneys are less expensive than you think and offer payment plans or will otherwise work with you if they think they can help you.
