Consequences Of Drunk Driving Convictions

Helping You Minimize The Consequences Of Drunk Driving Convictions

Most people are aware that the days when driving while intoxicated (DWI; sometimes called DUI) might be treated like any other traffic violation are long gone. Today, the most basic, first-offense DWI charge in New York can disrupt nearly every aspect of your life. If you have a criminal record, if you were involved in an injury-causing accident or if other aggravating factors apply, the defense lawyer you choose is critical.

I am Barbara Wilkanowski, a criminal defense lawyer in Flushing, Queens, who is committed to helping my DWI clients make fully informed decisions. I will assess any and all viable defense strategies available in your specific case.

New York’s DWI Penalties Are Serious

Do not misjudge what you are up against and face a New York DWI charge alone or with only basic guidance from a public defender. Instead, make certain that your defense attorney knows what matters most to you and appreciates the real impact of penalties such as:

  • Jail or prison time
  • Long-term license suspension or revocation of your driving privilege
  • Insurance premium increases that can cost you many thousands of dollars
  • Mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device — at your own, significant expense

What Matters Most To You?

You can talk to me openly about your concerns. For example, many people feel they have no choice but to drive while under a driver’s license suspension, but I can help you find workable solutions, including obtaining a conditional driver’s license for work and family necessities.

You can also trust my experience and judgment, whether you are accused of drunk driving, a drug-related DWI or the lesser but still very serious charge of DWAI.
