Ithaca Binghamton Elmira DWI lawyers: Why did I get 4 charges for a single DWI arrest in New York?

WHY DID I GET 4 CHARGES 
FOR A SINGLE DWI ARREST
IN NEW YORK? 


In a recent video, I discuss how you can be charged with 4 different crimes from a single DWI arrest in New York.  

If you mix alcohol and any other substances (even over-the-counter meds), you could be charged with four misdemeanors for a single arrest... 

1.  DWI "common law"   VTL 1192.3

2.  DWI over .08   VTL 1192.2

3.  DWAI Drugs  VTL 1192.4

4.  DWI combo VTL 1192.4a

The problem with a scenario like this is that we have to DEFEND multiple charges --and any time somebody is charged with more than one thing, it complicates any defense because it gives the prosecutor more ammunition to convict you.  

If you have been charged with any of the above, give us a call and we will be happy to discuss your situation in depth.  607-229-5184
