New York City DWAI Attorneys
When someone is alleged to have operated a motor vehicle while having a blood alcohol content greater than .05 and less than .08, they can be charged with driving while ability impaired (DWAI). Although DWI can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the circumstances, DWAI is an infraction. A DWAI conviction will still result in a license suspension, fines and potentially even jail time. A third DWAI within 10 years will be charged as a misdemeanor, not an infraction. Therefore, if you have been accused of DWAI, it is critical that you have a skilled Manhattan driving while ability impaired attorney working on your behalf.The New York City DWAI lawyers of Goldberg & Allen defend individuals throughout the New York City area against all types of drinking and driving allegations. Our law firm will put forth a powerful defense against DWAI and DWAI-Drugs charges. We will look at your DWAI allegations in the same way we would look at a DWI allegation.

We will be prepared to effectively cross-examine the police officer at a pretrial hearing, or at trial. Our lawyers will gear their full efforts to achieving a favorable outcome in your case.
Pleading a DWI Down to DWAI
