  • What is DUI?

DUI stands for "driving under the influence." In most states, including New York and Nevada, driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or higher is illegal. If you are pulled over and found to have a BAC of .08% or higher, you will be charged with DUI.

In New York and Nevada, the majority of DUI cases are charged as misdemeanors. However, if you have been involved in an accident that caused injury or death, you may be charged with a felony.

  • What is DWI?

DWI stands for "driving while intoxicated." In New York and Nevada, DWI is a separate offense from DUI. Unlike DUI, which is based on your BAC, DWI is based on your level of impairment.

If you are pulled over and found to be impaired by alcohol or drugs, you will be charged with DWI. In most cases, DWI is charged as a misdemeanor. However, if you have been involved in an accident that caused injury or death, you may be charged with a felony.

  • What are the penalties for DUI and DWI

The penalties for DUI and DWI vary depending on the circumstances of your case, your prior criminal history, and whether anyone was injured or killed as a result of your driving. However, some of the possible penalties you may be facing include:

  • Jail time
  • Loss of driving privileges
  • Fines and court costs
  • Community service
  • Probation
  • Alcohol treatment or education programs

If you have been charged with DUI or DWI, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights.

  • What should I do if I am pulled over for DUI or DWI?

If you are pulled over for DUI or DWI, it is important to remain calm and be polite to the officer. You should not offer any information about how much alcohol you have consumed or whether you have been using drugs.

If the officer asks you to step out of the car, you should do so. However, you should not say anything that could be used against you. For example, you should not say that you had "two beers" or that you "only had a few drinks."

  • Can I refuse a chemical test?

You can refuse a chemical test in most states, including New York and Nevada. However, if you do so, your driver's license will be automatically suspended.

In New York, your driver's license will be suspended for a minimum of six months. In Nevada, your driver's license will be suspended for a minimum of 90 days.

If you have been charged with DUI or DWI, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights.

  • Possible Defenses for DUI and DWI

Several possible defenses can be raised in a DUI or DWI case. Some of the most common defenses include:

  • The officer did not have probable cause to pull you over.
  • The officer did not read you your Miranda rights.
  • The results of the field sobriety test or breathalyzer test are inaccurate.
  • The officer did not follow proper protocol when administering the field sobriety or breathalyzer test.
