Aggravated DWI

White Plains DWI Attorneys Defending Clients Charged With Aggravated DWI and Seeking License Reinstatement

Charged with DWI or another serious criminal offense? Call the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, for experienced, skilled and aggressive representation on your behalf.

At the Westchester County based Law Office of Mark A. Siesel in White Plains, New York, we have observed the effect of the 2006 changes in the DWI laws and how they have severely increased the penalties for all intoxicated drivers in the State of New York, especially multiple offenders and those charged with Aggravated DWI. These new laws require that we stay on the cutting-edge of legal knowledge and employ innovative strategies in defending our clients, particularly when they are charged with aggravated drunk driving.

Representing Clients Charged With Aggravated Drunk Driving

In addition to .05 blood alcohol content (BAC) for a DWAI and .08 BAC for a DWI, New York state legislators have added a new category: Aggravated DWI, for those drivers with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of .18 or above. If you are charged with .18 BAC or greater, the penalties increase in their severity and there are few, if any, options for reducing charges. At the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, we aggressively and effectively defend all of our clients charged with DWI, and will strive for the best possible outcome for our clients.

Minimal Options and Severe Consequences

Clients once eligible for the reduced charge of DWAI "Driving While Ability Impaired" - now find themselves stripped of that option when charged with felony aggravated drunk driving or multiple offenses. Potential jail time is increased. Instead of a driver's license suspension under the reduced DWAI charge, your license is automatically revoked with the more severe charges of Aggravated DWI and multiple offenses. Additionally, convictions can have a negative impact on job applications. The effects of the new laws make it essential that you have the services of experienced, seasoned and knowledgeable litigators on your behalf.
