Juvenile DWI Charges in New York City

Defense Counsel for Underage Drivers Facing Conviction

New York State has a zero tolerance policy for underage drivers. A driver under the age of 21 who registers at .02% BAC or greater will be facing a DWI charge. This is such a small amount that even a few swallows of any alcoholic beverage could easily lead to registering over the limit. A conviction can cause you to lose your driving privileges for 6 months, and a second offense could lead to license revocation until you are 21.

DWI Convictions Can Put Your Livelihood in Jeopardy

Getting a DWI on your record, especially so early in your driving history, can be absolutely devastating to other aspects of your daily life. You might not be able to get to work or to school if you are unable to drive. Insurance providers will most definitely increase your premiums, as well. Job loss and a reduction of your higher education might be the least of your worries, however. You can also face time in jail and pay high fines for DWIs, even as a juvenile.
