DWI Attorney in White Plains, NY

DWI Overview

If you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in New York State, it is critical to involve an experienced attorney in your case. Penalties are stiff. If convicted, you may face fines, ignition interlock fees, driver's license revocation and even jail time.

At The Penichet Firm, P.C., we are well prepared to deliver a strong and effective DWI defense. Attorney Luis Andrew Penichet has received numerous honors including being rated as the number one criminal lawyer in Westchester County by Westchester Magazine.

As experienced lawyers, we examine every legal and factual aspect of your DWI case. We know that Breathalyzers are not perfect and that sometimes technology gets things wrong. That is why we give things a second look. We often consult with highly-regarded chemists and toxicologists to interpret the results of Breathalyzer tests.

These experts often find other factors that may have contributed to a high reading. For example, a driver's high fever can throw off the results and so can miscalibration of the device or residual mouth alcohol. Breathalyzers are also subject to interference by other compounds, such as high acetone levels related to diabetes, food supplements or inhalers. We investigate all of these possibilities as well as exploring possible violations of your constitutional rights and other factors that might affect your case.
