DUI / DWI AND RELATED OFFENSES


   If you have been charged with a DWI in New York or New Jersey, it is important that you know that the days of walking into court and getting a slap on the wrist are over. Most counties in New York and New Jersey have done away with plea bargaining in DWI cases (or will only plea bargain in limited circumstances) and also routinely file civil lawsuits against drunk drivers to seize their car. If you are facing DWI charges in New York and New Jersey you have two options: plead guilty to DWI charges and have a criminal record for the rest of your life or fight the DWI charges.

You need a defense attorney who will personally handle all aspects of your case, including your DWI defense, civil forfeiture proceeding, and administrative hearings relating to license reinstatement, requests for temporary driving privileges, or both. Treuhaft & Zakarin, LLP on your side. Contact a DUI lawyer at Treuhaft & Zakarin, LLP, right now. 

Punishment for a first offense can include up to a year in jail and/or three years probation, revocation of your drivers' license, the imposition of ignition interlock system, and vehicle seizure. A second offense is a felony punishable by up to three years in jail. Don't face DWI / DUI charges alone. Contact a DWI/DUI lawyer at the New York or New Jersey offices of Treuhaft & Zakarin, LLP.
