WESTERN NEW YORK'S DWI LAWYER

What Constitutes a DUI and DWI In Buffalo?

Other Related Offenses

In Buffalo, New York, as in the rest of the state, the terms DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) are often used interchangeably but legally refer to similar offenses of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Here’s what constitutes a DUI and DWI in Buffalo, NY:

• DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired): New York also has a charge for driving while ability impaired by alcohol with a BAC more than 0.05% but less than 0.07%, or by a single drug other than alcohol.
• DWAI/Combination: This involves driving while ability impaired by a combination of alcohol and drugs.
• Chemical Test Refusal: A driver who refuses to take a chemical test (breath, blood, or urine) when requested by law enforcement faces a separate administrative charge that can result in a fine and driver’s license suspension.

Comprehensive Case Evaluation

Challenging the Traffic Stop and Arrest

Skilled Negotiations

From the moment you engage our services, we conduct a detailed assessment of your case. We meticulously review the police report, the circumstances of your arrest, and all evidence the prosecution presents. Our thorough approach ensures that we understand every aspect of your case, enabling us to identify any weaknesses in the prosecution's arguments or procedural errors that could be pivotal in your defense.

We scrutinize the legality of the initial traffic stop and subsequent arrest. Law enforcement must have a valid reason, or "probable cause," to make a traffic stop. If we determine that the stop was unjustified or if the arrest procedures were mishandled (such as failure to read Miranda rights), we can argue for the dismissal of charges based on these violations.

Our Buffalo DWI attorneys are experienced negotiators striving to achieve our client's best possible outcome. We engage with prosecutors to discuss the possibility of reducing charges, minimizing penalties, or potentially dismissing charges altogether, depending on the strengths of your case and any procedural issues we identify.

DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) & DUI (Driving Under the Influence)

• Basic DWI: This is the most common offense and is typically charged when a driver operates a vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.
• Aggravated DWI: If a driver has a BAC of 0.18% or higher, they can be charged with Aggravated DWI, which carries more severe penalties.
• Driving Under the Influence: While New York primarily uses the term DWI, DUI can be used to describe driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs, including prescription medications and controlled substances, that impair the driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely.

Vigorous Trial Advocacy

Should your case proceed to trial, you can count on our skilled attorneys to provide vigorous representation. We prepare extensively, developing a strong defense strategy and advocating on your behalf in court.
