Farmington, NY DWI and DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

While DWI cases often seem skewed in favor of the prosecution, there is some chance that an assertive defense showing that too few Field Sobriety tests were completed, and that for physical reasons you could not perform one of them, might be helpful in challenge the grounds for the arrest. Some counties are tougher, some easier, on dropping DWI down to Reckless Driving, but it can be accomplished at least some of the time. Please keep in mind that if the cop has grounds to believe you were driving while impaired by alcohol, you can still be charged, even if the chemical tests are suppressed.

If you are relating that you had a blood alcohol level of .21 you may have had a few beers earlier in the week but apparently you continued drinking. That level is significantly higher than any tolerated blood alcohol level allowed and therefore I believe you will be prosecuted. Engage an attorney.

It is possible. You say that a warrant issued. Did you move since the incident? id DOL have your proper address. Did you have your correct address on your drivers license. This is the information used to cite you to court. If they do not have the correct information, then you did not get the court notice and a warrant would issue. The active warrant keeps the Statute of limitations from running. It is most probably still an active case. My advice: hire an attorney.
