    Anyone Know about DUI, DWI, or possession in NY
    My dad is in NY I am in another state, I am looking for some guidance. He Has been arrested for the fourth time on DWI this morning. The last time he did a year upstate, and had porole/probation for another year, and that was almost a two years ago. This morning they found cocain in the car he was in. Can anyone paint me an accurate picture of what could happen? Best and worst case scnerio? Anyone know of any good lawyers in NYC that could help me? I am willing to give my email address if confidentiality is a concern.

    After reading some of the other posts I wanted to offer more info. In no means am I trying to excuse his behavior, or get him off, he is guilty of his crimes, and no one is more angry with him than I. I don't think he has hurt anyone else as much; so, do I believe he needs consequences, yes, do I think prison is it? No, that is just a punishment on my siblings and myself. I only intend to intervien and try to help him learn to control his illness. I want to send him to rehab and bring him out here, where he can have better influences and an opportunity to obtain help for his issues.

    Well best case, his attoreny finds a way to get the evidence thrown out.

    I would say he is looking for 1 to 2 years on DUI and maybe up to 3 with drug charges thrown in.

    Well after talking to the officer they reduced the charges to possession and operating while ability impaired. Because we offered intervention they were willing to release him today, however, I worry about court. Thank you for your guidance, your wisdom is greatly appreciated.
