Call 315-235-1706 in Utica for Advice About DWI, DUI or DWAI
If you need legal help after a drunk driving arrest in the Mohawk Valley or elsewhere in upstate New York, contact our office in Utica for a free consultation about the options that appear most promising in your case. While our trial experience can give you a significant advantage if we need to present your defense in court, our lawyers often find that we can achieve good results through plea negotiations, drivers' license suspension hearings, or diversion programs that can sometimes be available for first offenders or younger drivers.
Depending on your prior record, your blood alcohol concentration, and other factors in your case, the consequences of a DWI conviction can range from a few months of license suspension to prison time and the loss of the right to drive for years to come. No matter what your circumstances involve, we'll work to expand your options toward a good result, while making sure that you understand both the risks you're facing and the implications of whatever alternative you choose.
We help clients resolve any of the DWI charges that can result from the following situations:
- First offense DWI
- Repeat DWI charges, which can sometimes be charged as a felony
- Underage drunk driving
- Out-of-town or out-of-state DWI arrests in resort towns or vacation areas in the Adirondacks and the North Country
- College student DWI or DWAI cases
- Commercial driver or truck driver DWI or DUI
- Driving under the influence of illegal drugs
- Felony homicide, manslaughter or assault charges related to drunk driver accidents
Callanen, Foley & Hobika's clients appreciate our honest advice and practical approach to the criminal consequences of a drunk driving arrest. While we work toward beating the charges whenever possible, most cases are going to involve negotiated pleas that focus on cutting your losses.
