Facing an Impaired Driving Arrest in New York?
An arrest for driving under the influence can disrupt your life, your career, and your freedom overnight. While national media and neighboring states heavily use the term "DUI," New York State law does not use this classification. Instead, motorists face strict statutory charges of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired).
At LeGrady Law, we clarify the legal terminology and build aggressive, evidence-based defenses tailored to the exact New York charges leveled against you. Don't leave your driving privileges to chance.
Frequently Asked Questions

Driving with a suspended license can result in additional penalties and criminal charges, including Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO). If your license has been suspended, you should contact an attorney before getting behind the wheel.
