Riverhead Crime

i just took a plea from the DA at central islip court for 1 year interim probation and pleading to a dwi. I have been told both that i will be eligible for a conditional after the dmv gets report of the conviction and i have been told that i am not because interim probation is not actually a charge. I would like to know the answer as my current attorney is impossible to get a hold of on this matter.

Your current attorney needs to make himself available to you. That said, normally anyone on Probation must receive...

How much jail time would one be looking at with a aggravated dwi reduced to a dwi, instead of doing 3 years probation?

Up to one year. If any answer on AVVO helps you, mine or someone else’s, please mark it as "helpful" or "best...

I am being charged with DWI even though I only blew a .03. I am 24 years of age so I know that is legal in my state. I was caught with heroin in my possesion so the police decided to give me a DWI just because I had the drugs in my possesion. I told the police I had partied the night before and stopped at 2 a.m. I was arrested at 10:30 the next morning. The police wanted to do a blood test but I refused since I had no lawyer present and I have no way of knowing if the test are done in a proper fasion.The officer claimed I blew a stop sign that I had stopped and waited at for about 3 minutes because of traffic. Then when I got pulled over he immediatly told me I was going to jail because I forgot my I.D. at home. I got out of the car to look for an I.D. and he stuck his hands in my pockets.

Most likely they're charging you with a "combined influence" DWI - a mixture of drugs and alcohol. The search you...

I was charged with my third DWI in August 2006, and served 3 1/2 month in county jail. Upon my release I was sentenced to 5 years probation, and completion of a one year out-patient program. I was told I would have to report to probation 2x a month for six months and then monthly for the next six months, then every three months there after. I am still reporting to my probation officer 2x a month. Then I violated probation on 9/08 for being discharged from my out-patient group after completing 7 months. The violation is still on going in court, and legal aide is not helping me at all. I am on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. I am now being treated for depression, and have a court date for 6/11/09. I need to know my rights and if I can change lawyers. Any advice would be helpful.

You have the right to a contested probation violation hearing. Generally, these hearings are brief and hearsay is...

I have a friend who was involved in a DUI arrest last night and I am wondering what legal implications he may face if convicted. He is a college student and made some very serious/idiotic mistakes. This event took place in New York State. From my understanding he has no prior criminal record. These are the offenses from what I know however he has not been arraigned yet -Driving without headlights on -Driving without a valid drivers license -Driving while intoxicated while under 21 (I do not know the exact BAC) -Providing a false name/information to the police -Resisting Arrest (supposedly was screaming at police officers, they used force against him to restrain him) Looking at these potential charges, what could one expect as a legal penalty? The car driven did not belong to him.

There are a number of possible outcomes, many of them are not good. He needs a very good attorney quickly. There are...

I was convicted of DWI back in January 2011. Part of that sentence was a a 6-month jail term and a 1-year conditional discharge. The conditional discharge was set to expire on January 4th, 2012. I went to pick up my license from the DMV yesterday (January 14th) and was told I still needed an interlock device, however, with nobody to monitor it (courts or probation) all interlock companies I tried to schedule installation with claimed that they cannot install a device. Is this a DMV issue or does this have to involve the courts now?

I would speak to the attorney that sentenced you...its one of 2 things however...either the court ordered the interlock...
