DUI Defense Lawyer in New York

Understanding the DUI Process

Anyone caught up in any stage of the legal process after being arrest and/or charged with a DUI, must have a competent and experienced New York criminal defense lawyer on their side if they plan to maximize the potential for a favorable outcome. Starting with arrest and right through to the end of a trial verdict and enforcement of fines and penalties, there are many ramifications and aspects of the law which can either benefit you or can work against you. It is a matter of knowing your rights and legal options, and your legal representative's dedication to your case.

At the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin, we are strong advocates of our clients who have been charged with DUI. There are countless people incarcerated who were innocent or whose DWI verdict and sentencing was more harsh than the facts warranted. We dedicate ourselves to the honest and aggressive defense of clients embroiled in the DUI process.

New York DUI Process Defense Attorney

Important things to know about the DUI, DWI or DWAI process include:

• When stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the officer will ask the driver to voluntarily submit to tests involving moving one's body to demonstrate coordination, motor control and certain aspects of eyesight. These tests are not required by law; however, chemical tests (of urine) are not optional.
• Not taking chemical tests can result in automatic deprivation of driving privileges for one year, if first offense, and more if multiple offences.
• Anyone arrested for DUI has only 10 days to request a DMV hearing or their license is automatically suspended.
• Not having an experienced DUI defense attorney on your side, you can lose rights and set yourself up to lose by not knowing your legal options and rights and having no attorney vigorously defending you.

Depending on your individual circumstances, the legal process surrounding a DUI can be navigated successfully resulting in a favorable outcome for you at its conclusion. Don't lose your opportunity for a strong defense: you need an attorney from our office on your side.
