Driving while intoxicated is a misdemeanor crime, but it carries disproportionate consequences. In addition to fines, possible jail time and license suspension, a DWI or DUI conviction can spill over into employment, college financial aid, insurance rates and more.
Doar Rieck Kaley & Mack can help. We are accomplished as former prosecutors and defense trial lawyers. Our legal team will make the prosecution prove its case or negotiate a favorable resolution. You can count on us to fight to preserve your driving privileges and your clean record.
We have defended corporate executives, professionals and business owners. We have defended working class people, college students and senior citizens. We believe that anyone deserves vigorous representation, and we take pride in our personalized service while we are asserting your rights and defenses. Whatever the charges, we can make a positive difference in the outcome:
First-time DWI or repeat offense
Aggravated DWI (blood alcohol of .18 or more)
Driving while ability impaired by drugs (DWAI)
Zero Tolerance (underage drinking and driving)
Leandra’s Law (child under 16 on board)
DUI accident resulting in injury or death
Leaving the scene of an accident (hit-and-run)
Implied consent violation (refusing the breathalyzer)
Any conviction for driving while intoxicated results in license suspension for a minimum of six months, plus possible jail time. New York also requires an ignition interlock on your vehicle (at your expense) for at least 12 months. Aggravating factors such as prior DWI convictions sharply increase the penalties. Some drunk driving offenses are charged as felony crimes. You need to know where you stand and all the possible ramifications.
Experience Does Make A Difference
Our legal team includes former state and federal prosecutors who are highly skilled at analyzing the facts of a case. We review the whole timeline of your DWI for opportunities to challenge the charges: probable cause for the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, arrest procedure, blood alcohol testing, etc. We are aggressive in seeking to dismiss the charges or have evidence excluded. But from the beginning, we also prepare for the possibility of defending you at trial if you cannot afford the consequences of a DWI conviction.
