Frequently Asked Questions About DWI in Buffalo
What’s the difference between a DWI and DWAI in NY?
A DWI means driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher. DWAI applies to lower BAC levels (.05–.07%) but still carries serious penalties.
Will I lose my license after a DWI?
Most likely—unless you act quickly. We help clients apply for hardship or conditional licenses and fight the automatic suspension.
Can a DWI be reduced or dismissed in NY?
Yes, in some cases. If the stop was unlawful or the evidence flawed, we fight for reduced charges or outright dismissal.
What if I refused the breath test?
Refusing may lead to separate DMV penalties. But it can also limit evidence against you. We’ll help you understand both sides.
