Multiple DWI Penalties in New York
Your life can become very complicated if convicted of a second, third or subsequent DWI offense. Freedoms you take for granted today may be lost for years. You may not be allowed drive at all, or you may be ordered to install an ignition interlock device in your car.
Criminal penalties for multiple offense DWIs are as follows, compared with penalties for first-offense DWIs:
| Fine | Jail time | License Suspension | |
| First offense | $300 - $500 | Up to 15 days | 90 days |
| Second offense | $500 - $750 | Up to 30 days | Minimum of six months |
| Third or subsequent offense | $750 - $1,500 | Up to 180 days | 90 days to one year |
Whatever DWI charge you are facing, it is important to have an experienced defense lawyer on your side. Attorney Eric M. Sears is a former prosecutor who knows how the government approaches DWI multiple-offense cases. He is adept at challenging breath tests, blood tests, field sobriety tests and finding other weaknesses in the prosecutions' cases to benefit his clients.
