DWI Defense

A DWI charge can be life-altering without the support of an experienced DWI lawyer. If you have been charged, you need an aggressive and effective DWI defense team. At Larkin Axelrod Ingrassia & Tetenbaum, LLP, our attorneys have the skills, courtroom experience, and dedication to get you results in your DWI defense.

Protect your rights. Contact a DWI lawyer who will fight to keep you out of jail, protect your driving privileges, and minimize your fines. Our attorneys will work to see results in your DWI case.

Getting pulled over for drunk-driving can mean getting hauled into jail, losing your license, and facing excessive fines. If you were arrested, you want to be sure that your defense team has the experience and knows the legal strategies that lead to results for DWI defendants:

New York laws have increased penalties for DWI defendants:

  • DWI in NYS is a blood alcohol content of .08 - that could mean as little as three glasses of wine in an hour depending on weight
  • If you blow over .18, you can be charged with aggravated DWI.
  • If you refuse to take a breathalyzer or chemical test your license will be suspended automatically pending an administrative hearing.
  • You can be sentenced for up to 1 year in county jail.
  • If you get a second DWI within 10 years, the second is considered a FELONY- with a potential 4 year prison sentence

DO NOT let a DWI charge ruin your life. We will work to minimize the consequences of your DWI: fight to keep your license, fight to keep you out of jail. We will work to dismiss your case, get a plea bargain or get you probation.

Our DWI attorneys are experienced with all of the following:

  • DWI
  • Driving while impaired by drugs
  • Blood alcohol tests
