DWI and DWAI are serious criminal offenses that should never be taken lightly. It is imperative that a person charged with drunk driving secure the proper representation to avoid repercussions that can have severe long-standing effects. The offices of Alber & Loglisci will aggressively work to protect your rights and represent you with the zealousness necessary so that your DWI/DWAI charge will affect you as little as possible.

Under New York State Law, a person is considered "intoxicated" for the purposes of the DWI law if his or her Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is .08% or higher. A person with a BAC greater than .05% but less than .08% is considered “alcohol impaired” for the purposes of the DWAI law (Driving With Ability Impaired).

The hardships caused by a drinking and driving arrest and conviction can range from monetary fines, suspension or revocation of a driver’s license, time in jail, severely increased insurance rates, getting dropped completely from insurance coverage, and in some cases seizure of one’s vehicle.

Each case is unique and depends upon the particular facts and circumstances. Some of the techniques Alber & Loglisci would typically employ in a DWI case are: (1) review the police report for omissions and errors; (2) determine whether the chemical testing complied with New York State law; (3) assess whether the mechanism used for chemical testing had been properly calibrated and maintained; (4) utilize independent laboratory testing procedures to determine the accuracy of the testing results provided by the police officer and also assess whether the sample has been properly preserved; and (5) determine whether the arresting officer employed the proper procedure during your arrest/detention.

Weighing all of the factors listed above, along with several other factors, we will determine whether a plea bargain is the proper course of action or if it is advisable to pursue litigation.

Alber & Loglisci works aggressively to defend its clients to ensure that they are affected as little as possible by traffic violations. Even the most minor violation can add points to your driving record which can have major effects. Utilizing our skill and legal expertise we can successfully keep your driving record points down to a minimum in order to prevent a suspension/revocation of your license and save you a considerable amount of money with respect to insurance premium increases and fines.
