Fighting DUI/DWI Charges in New York City

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges carry heavy charges that include the possibility of jail time as well as loss of driving privileges and heavy fines. At times like these, it’s not worth it to gamble on your future and your livelihood; you need a compassionate, experienced attorney on your side. At Maryam Jahedi Law, we are hardworking and committed to a high standard of service for all our clients. We make it a point to be available to you to address any questions or concerns as quickly as possible, and strive to ensure you always feel supported and understood throughout your case.

New York has one of the toughest DWI/DUI laws in the nation. Not only are drivers with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) above .08% penalized, drivers with a BAC above .05% are also penalized. In NYC, the act of operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08% or above is a DWI, and driving with a BAC between .05% and .07% is considered to be a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired). The state classifies driving with a BAC of .17% or more as an Aggravated DWI which is a felony.

Our DWI/DUI attorney in NYC understands just how difficult it is to face the charges by yourself. We have years of experience in defending DWI/DUI cases and can help guide and prepare you for hearings and proceedings. We will work with you, gathering all relevant facts so we can prepare the strongest case for you moving forward. Our firm is also experienced in many types of criminal law and provides services to those who have been accused of federal crimes as well as state crimes, and we will do everything we can to protect your rights.

Local Support for DWI Defense in New York City

Living in New York City, you understand how vital reliable transportation is for daily life. A DWI charge can significantly disrupt your routine, making commuting to work, attending social events, or even running simple errands challenging. At Maryam Jahedi Law, we recognize NYC residents' unique challenges and are here to assist you through this difficult time.

Local entities such as the NYPD and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) enforce New York City's strict DWI and DUI laws. While these organizations are dedicated to road safety, their stringent measures can be overwhelming. If you're facing a DWI or DUI charge, having a knowledgeable attorney who understands the local legal landscape is crucial.

A major concern for NYC residents is the potential loss of driving privileges. Although the city boasts an extensive public transportation system, many still rely on their ability to drive for work or personal reasons. A DWI or DUI conviction can lead to a suspended or revoked license, making it challenging to maintain your daily routine. Our team at Maryam Jahedi Law is well-versed in New York City's transportation laws and can help you explore options to retain your driving privileges.

The financial burden of a DWI or DUI conviction can also be significant. Fines, increased insurance rates, and potential job loss can create substantial financial strain. We are committed to providing affordable legal services to help you manage these costs and protect your future.

With our familiarity with the local court systems in Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, we offer tailored legal strategies that address the specific needs of NYC residents. We work diligently to gather all relevant facts and build a strong defense, giving you the best possible chance of a favorable outcome.
