DWI and DUI Lawyers in Latham, NY

Representation Following DUI and DWI Charges

At Ianniello Chauvin, LLP, we know that each DWI case is unique, which is why we'll go over the range of punishments and other implications of a conviction or pleading guilty. Unless you are found not guilty or we discover issues with the proof presented against you, you will likely pay a fine and have your license suspended. This suspension can last from 90 days to six months. An ignition interlock device may also be installed in your vehicle, preventing you from driving drunk by forcing a breathalyzer test every time you turn the key.

In more serious cases or if you have a previous conviction, you could face jail time. Additionally, you'll be hit with a significant increase in your auto insurance rates since you'll be seen as a bigger risk.

The reason driving under the influence is such a serious legal matter is that it results in many innocent lives being lost each year. The decision to drink and drive affects more than you as the driver. It puts your passengers, occupants of other vehicles, and pedestrians at risk. If your decision to drive after having one or two drinks did not result in an accident but you were still charged with a DWI, you may be eligible for having the charges dropped with the help of one of the DWI and DUI lawyers Clifton Park, NY depends on.

Proving Your Innocence in a DUI Case

Fighting DUI/DWI charges is difficult but not impossible. The prosecutors must prove you are guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a difficult standard to meet and we will make it more difficult by rebutting the state's evidence with our own.

For example, the accuracy of field sobriety tests and breathalyzers can be easily called into question. We can also show how serious you are about the incident by showing evidence of any driving classes or alcohol counseling programs.

The prosecution may attempt to inflate the details of your case to prove that you were less fit to drive than you actually had been. With a legal limit of 0.08% blood alcohol content, there is a tolerance for about one drink before getting behind the wheel. You have a better chance of proving your innocence when you have one of the DWI and DUI lawyers Latham, NY loves most on your side.
