Long Island's Premier Criminal & DWI Defense Law Firm
Free New York DWI Case Evaluator
Nobody can promise an outcome, and anyone who does is selling something. But the questions a DWI defense lawyer asks are knowable, and the answers point somewhere. This walks you through the ones we ask about the stop, the testing and your record, and tells you what your answers suggest. It takes about three minutes.
What this is not. This is general information about New York law, not legal advice or a prediction. It can’t see your video, your paperwork or the breath instrument’s records, and those decide cases. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere; it stays in your browser.
What the evaluator looks at
Step 1
The stop
Whether police saw you driving, why they stopped you, and what you said. An unlawful stop can lead to suppression of everything that followed.
Step 2
The testing
Roadside tests, the handheld device, the two-hour rule, refusal warnings and the breath-test observation period.
Step 3
Your record
Prior convictions, a child in the car, license status and other factors that raise the stakes.
