Westchester County Felony DWI Lawyer
Understanding Felony DWI in Westchester County
A felony DWI conviction in Westchester County can have serious consequences, affecting your liberty, finances, and future opportunities. You need to know what counts as a felony DWI in New York State and what penalties you may face. A DWI becomes a felony when there are prior offenses, someone was injured due to drunk driving, or a child was in the vehicle. The penalties may include significant fines, long jail sentences, and the revocation of your driver's license.
The legal process for a felony DWI charge moves quickly in Westchester County. Arraignments often take place in local courts such as White Plains City Court or Mount Kisco Justice Court, where the judge decides bail and reviews your driving privileges. Police frequently operate sobriety checkpoints on major roads like I-287 and the Hutchinson River Parkway, especially during holidays or times of increased enforcement. This attention to enforcement makes DWI cases in this area more complex.
Westchester County’s legal system is strict when handling DWI, adding importance to hiring a legal team that understands the local courts. Local experience means knowing the judges and procedures, but it also involves understanding how area law enforcement conducts DWI stops and arrests. Our attorneys have refined their approach by working on many felony DWI cases in Westchester, which allows us to spot and challenge procedural errors often made in local DWI arrests.

I Have Been Charged with Multiple Crimes at Once, What Do I Do?Law enforcement officials often tack on as many charges as they can onto a defendant in order to land at least one conviction. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed when you hear a long list of charges levied against you, but it is important that you do not panic. In many cases, several of these charges can be dismissed with the help of an accomplished attorney. Oftentimes a prosecutor will try to tempt a defendant into a plea deal by offering to drop charges, but you should never agree to this without speaking to an experienced defense attorney. The goal of your defense counsel will be to see all of the charges against you dismissed or reduced.
