FACING ARREST? CALL DALBIR SINGH & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
FIGHTING DWI/DUI CHARGES: PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
In the state of New York, driving while intoxicated (DWI) is equivalent to driving under the influence (DUI) in other jurisdictions. Additionally, charges can be filed for driving while ability impaired (DWAI) or a Drug-DWAI if both alcohol and drugs are involved. Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels play a significant role in determining the severity of the offense, legal considerations, and potential penalties.
If you are facing DWI/DUI charges, don't delay—contact a zealous New York criminal defense attorney at 212.428.2000 to begin your defense with a consultation!
FACTORS AFFECTING IMPAIRMENT
Impairment in DWI/DUI cases is influenced by several factors. While alcohol is a significant factor, other variables come into play, such as the quantity of alcohol consumed, the consumption of non-alcoholic food and beverages, the duration of alcohol consumption, gender, body weight, and physical composition.
DEFENDING AGAINST DWI/DUI CHARGES
Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to your arrest. Failing a breathalyzer test does not automatically mean guilt. Breathalyzer results can be affected by simple actions like burping, making them unreliable evidence against you. Additionally, field sobriety tests are not always accurate indicators of intoxication. Our experienced New York DUI/DWI attorney can challenge the presented evidence and fight for the best possible outcome on your behalf.
FALSE ARRESTS IN NEW YORK: PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
Being falsely arrested for a crime you did not commit can have a profound impact on your future, reputation, and freedom. Such situations can be traumatic, making it crucial to protect your rights, hold responsible officers accountable, and prevent similar incidents from happening.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A FALSE ARREST?
False arrest offenses can also be committed by private citizens. Any time you or a loved one is unjustifiably restrained, the perpetrator may be held liable for false imprisonment. In false arrest cases, the following considerations are important:
-
Was there intent behind the arrest?
-
Was there proper consent for the arrest?
-
Was the arrest lawful?
-
Were there any violations of civil rights?
-
Was the arrest supported by sufficient evidence?
-
Were there instances of police misconduct or misuse of their duties?
In cases involving accusations of restraining someone against their will, including kidnapping or unlawful detentions, our dedicated New York criminal defense lawyers will vigorously defend your rights.
Don't face DWI/DUI charges or false arrests alone. Seek legal assistance from Dalbir Singh & Associates, P.C., to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case. Call us now to discuss your situation and get the representation you need during this challenging time.
