New York Felony DWI Lawyer

Schenectady DWI Defense Attorney 

New York Attorneys for Aggressive Felony DWI Defense

When you or someone you care about has been arrested for drunk driving or "driving while intoxicated" (DWI), it may have been a shock to learn that this DWI is a felony charge. Fairly recent changes in New York state laws extended the basic "look-back" period from five to 10 years. Consequently, even though a prior conviction occurred as long as 10 years ago, you may be dealing with felony DWI.

At the Law Offices of Mark J. Sacco, PLLC, you will find two New York felony DWI lawyers who are determined and non-judgmental, yet realistic. We are committed to helping our clients make the most beneficial and practical decisions about their felony DWI defense. To request a free consultation, please contact us now at our office in either Albany or Schenectady.

A Serious Charge That Calls for Experienced, Focused Legal Representation

It is critical to recognize that a felony DWI conviction, depending on your specific circumstances, can bring exposure to penalties including a lengthy state prison sentence, huge fines, a lifetime driver's license suspension, and/or the imposition of an ignition interlock device if you can retain your driving privileges.

There is no delicate way to say it, but it is true: There is a lot of bad advice out there about the best ways to deal with DWI charges. We are proven, reputable criminal and traffic defense attorneys who will look at all circumstances of your arrest and level with you about how best to proceed.
