DUI and Driving While Impaired

Driving While Intoxicated or Impaired are serious offenses which can have severe criminal, civil and administrative consequences. A conviction for violation of Section 1192 of New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law carries mandatory fines, mandatory suspension of your privilege to drive in New York State and the very real possibility of jail time. In many jurisdictions, a conviction can also serve as the basis for the loss of your vehicle through a forfeiture proceeding.
