From Lebedin Kofman LLP – In this episode, we dive into 'Penalties for Alcohol or Drug Related Violations' and what they mean for drivers in Nassau County. Facing a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge in New York comes with severe consequences, including hefty fines, potential jail time, and the loss of driving privileges. We explore how Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) levels determine the severity of a charge, from 0.05% (DWAI) to 0.18% and above (Aggravated DWI), and the legal implications of each classification.

We also break down the penalties for first-time and repeat offenders, discussing how a second or third DWI conviction within ten years escalates to felony charges with longer license revocations and increased fines. New York’s “Forfeit After Four” policy, set to take effect in 2025, introduces even stricter consequences, permanently revoking licenses for those with four or more offenses. Understanding Leandra’s Law, which imposes harsher punishments for DWI with a child passenger, is also critical for drivers facing these serious charges.

Beyond the courtroom, the consequences of a DWI conviction extend into employment, insurance rates, and educational opportunities. Many individuals don’t realize that refusing a chemical test under New York’s Implied Consent Law leads to automatic license suspensions and civil penalties, regardless of whether they are ultimately convicted. For younger drivers, the Zero Tolerance Law enforces strict BAC limits, with even minor alcohol consumption resulting in license suspensions and mandatory penalties.

At Lebedin Kofman LLP, our Nassau County DWI lawyers work to help individuals navigate these complex legal challenges. Whether facing charges for DWI, DWAI, Aggravated DWI, or chemical test refusals, we provide the legal defense needed to mitigate the impact of a conviction.
