License deadline checker
Arrested in the last two weeks? Your license can be suspended at your first court date, and a refusal has a 15-day DMV deadline. Answer four questions and see your dates.

Case evaluator
About 20 questions on the stop, the testing and your record. It shows what may help you, what you’re facing, and what to pin down, with a link under each finding.
All tools
Calculator
What a DWI really costs
Fines are the small number. See surcharges, DMV assessments, the ignition interlock and insurance, and what a reduction to DWAI saves.
Calculator
BAC estimator
For a test that already happened. Compare what you drank with the number the machine printed, using two scientific models and honest ranges.
Guide
How to choose a DWI lawyer
Nine questions to ask any lawyer you interview, the red flags, and our own answers.
Guide
Know your court
Where Nassau and Suffolk DWI cases are heard, what happens at each court, and how to find your next date.
Guide
How long drugs stay in your system
Detection windows for common drugs compared with how long their effects last, and why that matters for a DWAI-drugs charge.
Where to start
- If you were arrested in the last two weeks, start with the deadline checker. The license deadlines move faster than the criminal case.
- If you want to know how serious your case is, run the case evaluator.
- If you are choosing a lawyer, read the questions page before you call anyone, including us.

These tools are not a lawyer. We work to keep the numbers and the law on these pages accurate and up to date, but laws, fines and DMV rules change, and some information here may be incorrect or out of date.
