What happens after a New York DWI, DUI arrest?
- Arraignment:
This is the judicial proceeding shortly after
your DWI, DUI arrest. If you have a New York DWI
lawyer and are not
on bond, you do not have to appear. It is
primarily for advisement of rights. If you have
a New York DWI lawyer, he will advise you.
- Pre-trial
Conference:
Your DUI defense attorney will discuss your case with the
District Attorney and negotiate the best
possible plea bargain. It will typically happen
within 6 weeks after arraignment. This is
usually after the Motor Vehicle Hearing. The
date is set by the Court and your DUI defense attorney on
his calendar.
- Suppression
Hearing:
The Court may suppress some or all of the
evidence against you if your constitutional
rights have been violated. Your New York DWI
lawyer will
file motions to suppress. It occurs within
forty-five days from the commencement of the
action brought against you, i.e. the date of
your arraignment.
- Trial:
Almost always a trial to a jury of six. The
District Attorney's Office must announce their
readiness for trial 90 days from the
commencement of the action brought against you;
six months if you are charged with a felony DWI/DUI.
- Sentencing:
The Court imposes a sentence after a conviction
at trial or after a plea bargain is accepted and
a plea entered. Sentences may include
jail/prison time, community service, alcohol
counseling, classes and fines.
