Yes.
is a criminal charge in which an individual has tried to commit a criminal assault on a person.
There are a couple of different circumstances regarding DWI and your personal records. In New York, if you are not convicted of a DWI, it will remain on your driving record for 10 years. This includes alcohol or drug related DWI's. If, however, you are convicted of a DWI (alcohol or drug related) the first DWI is considered a misdemeanor and will go on your criminal record, but it can be sealed with the help of a criminal attorney. A 2nd DWI, or any conviction after is considered a felony. In order to get these sealed, you must file for a certificate of relief from disabilities. If it was not granted at the time of sentencing, and no term of imprisonment has been served, you can apply for the certificate from the sentencing court. If time has been served, it must be applied for with the New York State Board of Parole.
The state of New York takes DWI, or driving while intoxicated, charges very seriously. It is important to obtain the services of a seasoned attorney well versed in DWI, which is one of the most litigated criminal charges in the state. As the initial DWI stop and subsequent arrest may have questionable circumstances, it is imperative to obtain legal counsel rather quickly.
