DWI • Federal Crimes • Disciplinary Hearings

New York’s zero-tolerance approach to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) has the potential to negatively affect the lives of accused individuals. The stigma of having a DWI permanently on your record can cause problems in both your personal and professional life. With so much at stake, it’s important to take DWI charges seriously.

The simple truth is that not all NYC criminal defense lawyers are qualified to represent you properly in a DWI case. The DWI defense attorneys at Brill Legal group have the specific skills, knowledge and experience required to fight such charges. That’s why you can count on us to protect your rights and driving privileges.

DWI

Driving under the influence, or DUI, is a term that is commonly used to refer to drunk driving offenses in many states. However, in New York such offenses are classified as DWI. You may be arrested for DWI if you are legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of at least 0.08 percent while driving a vehicle in the state.

Although a first DWI is charged as a misdemeanor, repeat drunk driving offenses are charged as felonies. Driving while intoxicated charges can take many forms, with sentences getting harsher with each offense.

There are many factors that determine the punishment in a DWI case. The NYC DWI attorneys at Brill Legal Group can explain in further detail, but here are some basic questions you may be asked:

  • Is this your first DWI?
  • Do you have prior DWI offenses?
  • Are you over or under 18 years old?
  • Did you provide a breath, urine or blood sample?
  • Was there property damage?
  • Did someone suffer serious injuries or death?
  • Was there a minor in the vehicle?

Yes, absolutely. New York DWI laws are complex. Although jail is not required for most DWI first-time offenders, it is always a possibility depending on the facts of your case. As a result, you need a NYC DWI attorney who knows the system inside out.

Whether it is your first or third arrest for DWI, New York law requires certain minimum mandatory penalties to be imposed. Possible punishments include but are not limited to fines, loss of driving privileges, probation, jail time, DWI school, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.

Having an experienced NYC DWI lawyer by your side can make all the difference in the world. Put simply, you don’t have to face your DWI charges alone, nor should you. Although there is no reason to drive while intoxicated, sometimes things happen that you cannot control, or that you immediately regret. Brill Legal Group can help.

A knowledgeable NYC DWI attorney can guide you through the legal process, presenting options to help you make an educated and informed decision as to what’s really in your best interests. One of the biggest mistakes people make in a DWI case is assuming that it is open and shut. However, there are many possible defenses available. For instance, breath tests and blood-alcohol content tests are not always foolproof. Law enforcement officers can make mistakes, which can be used to your advantage.

Practice Areas

Domestic Violence

If you are arrested on domestic violence charges, contact the experienced defense attorneys at Brill Legal Group.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

In the eyes of the law, if you have been accused of domestic violence, you are alleged to have committed assault, menacing with a weapon or criminal contempt, which are serious charges with very real consequences. In fact, with the "must arrest" domestic violence policy of all local police departments, you have probably already experienced a taste of how the criminal justice system treats even those who are presumed innocent.

If you are facing domestic violence charges, you need a skilled NYC criminal defense lawyer by your side. At Brill Legal Group, we have experience defending individuals accused of domestic violence and wrongfully facing a restraining order or temporary order of protection. We do not judge our clients. We help them by ensuring they stay out of jail.
