A DWI or DUI arrest on Long Island often leads to several penalties, which can include suspension of license, fines, and even prison time. Knock-on effects can include losing a job due to not being able to drive for a certain period of time. Multiple offenses can lead to even stricter penalties and life time suspensions of a drivers license. Penalties can range up to $10,000 and incarceration for up to 10 years, depending on the specific facts of a case.

In New York, a driver is considered over the legal limit where a blood alcohol content reading of 0.08 or higher is registered. There is also implied consent to testing by obtaining a drivers' license and a refusal to submit to a chemical, urine or blood test can lead to an administrative suspension of your license by the DMV. The Acocella Law Group hosts regular online webinars that help educate and inform the local community on Long Island about DWI laws and how to handle a check-point or DWI stop in the event police officers overstep the law.
