Although many New Yorkers take public transportation, it's still pretty common for a New York criminal defense lawyer to take cases involving driving while intoxicated, since New York still has its fair share of drivers. Drunk driving cases are well within the scope of a New York criminal attorney's job description.
The thing with drunk driving cases is that they can often be taken care of in a different manner than your ordinary criminal case. The entire process for a drunk driving case might be simplified, with the DUI offender usually pleading guilty up front. With a criminal case hinging largely on the evidence, a drunk driving case is one where the evidence can usually speaks for itself. As a result, it's not always worth the New York criminal defense attorney's time to try to fight a DWI in a long, drawn out court proceeding. Many times, a New York criminal defense lawyer will be able to resolve a simple DWI charge through shorter legal proceedings.
Of course, when a DWI gets more complicated, the facts and evidence can be up for debate and as a result, some drunk driving cases do have their long days in the courtroom. This is often the case in a DWI-homicide, where there was a death as result of the drunk driving.
Although a DWI case is relatively simple, it's within the realm of a New York criminal defense lawyer. If you've been arrested for driving while intoxicated, contact a New York criminal defense lawyer to discuss the future of your case.
