DWI Penalties May Include Driver's License Suspension
Buffalo and Williamsville DWI Defense Attorney
New York, like all states, takes drunk driving very seriously. Penalties for a DWI conviction can include revocation or suspension of your driver's license, fines, required driver's education classes, required installation of an ignition interlock device, and jail time.
Jail sentences are usually reserved for cases involving repeat offenders or injury to another person. Whether or not you face a possible jail sentence, these other DWI penalties can have a similar restricting effect on your freedom.
If you have been arrested on DWI charges, consult a criminal defense lawyer who has experience fighting back against all possible DWI penalties. Located in Williamsville, DWI defense attorney Norman Mattar has more than 25 years' experience practicing criminal law in Erie County. Our law firm provides strategic and protective defense services with the goal of minimizing DWI penalties for our clients who have been arrested on drunk-driving charges.

Keeping You on the Road: Hardship Licenses and Ignition Interlock Devices
The first question most of our DUI clients have about DWI penalties is, "What's going to happen to my driver's license?" There is not one answer to that question. The effect of a DWI arrest on driving privileges depends on many factors, including:
- The age of the arrestee
- The blood alcohol content (BAC) reading
- Whether the arrestee has prior DWI arrests or convictions
We will examine every factor at work in your specific case and make every possible argument to keep you on the road. For example, we will argue for both a hardship license and a conditional license on your behalf.
