DWAI
DWAI
Most people know that a person can be convicted of drunk driving with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08. However, that is not the only circumstances in which a person can be convicted of criminal charges for driving under the influence. A charge for driving while ability impaired (DWAI) can also have a significant impact on your life, including losing your driving privileges.

If you face charges for driving while ability impaired, the best decision you can make is to hire a skilled attorney who will fight for you. At Greco Neyland, PC, our dedicated Manhattan DWAI lawyers will carefully review all circumstances in your arrest and do everything we can to have your charges reduced or dismissed, including challenging the basis of the traffic stop and any tests you may have taken.
Call us today at (212) 951-1300 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your DWAI arrest and developing a strategy for your defense. We represent people arrested in New York County and Kings County.
New York DWAI Information Center
- What blood alcohol content (BAC) can result in a DWAI?
- What kinds of punishments does a person face if convicted?
Test Results in a DWAI Case
Having a BAC of 0.08 or above means you are “per se” intoxicated, meaning that, under the law, you are intoxicated regardless of the extent to which your physical or mental faculties are actually impaired by any substance. If you have a BAC of 0.08 or above, you are charged with DWI (Driving While Intoxicated).
However, New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 1192 prohibits any person from driving if they are “impaired.” This includes those who may test under 0.08 BAC, but whose ability to drive is believed by police to be affected by intoxicating substances.
If you take a chemical test that shows results that are positive for alcohol but do not meet the 0.08 threshold for per se intoxication, and the officer believes your abilities are impaired, you will still be arrested, and you may face DWAI charges.
Typically, a test result of a BAC between 0.05 and 0.07 can lead to a DWAI arrest. Under VTL § 1195, a test result under 0.05 is “prima facie” evidence that a person is not impaired or intoxicated. However, under the same law, a BAC between 0.05 and 0.07 is “relevant” evidence that a person is impaired.
A BAC between 0.07 and 0.08 is prima facie evidence that a person is impaired.
Penalties Remain Severe for DWAI
A DWAI is a slightly less severe charge than a DWI. However, that does not mean that a DWAI should be taken lightly. Far from a minor inconvenience, a DWAI can mean losing your ability to drive.
A first DWAI offense for alcohol alone, if convicted, will result in:
- A fine between $300 and $500
- Up to 15 days in jail
- License suspension for 90 days
For a second DWAI offense in five years, penalties go up across the board, and you will lose your license for a minimum of six months.
You will also have a criminal record. It is very likely that your insurance rates will go up dramatically.
Penalties are more severe in a case involving drugs, or a combination of drugs and alcohol.
Finding the Best DWAI Defense Attorney in Manhattan
If you face charges for driving while ability impaired in Manhattan or Brooklyn, you can have a skilled attorney on your side, fighting for you. Police must have reasonable suspicion to make a stop. We can challenge the grounds they used to pull you over.

Thank you Greco Neyland, my experience with them was amazing! As a college student who may need student loans in the future and will be looking for jobs in the business sector I ended up getting into some trouble that could have effected me in the future. From start to begging Mehdi gave me reassurance and told me not to stress. I'm thankful that he was there to help me because they were able to get my case dismissed in just one court date.

I found myself in legal trouble during the summer of 2018 - a foreign, unenviable, and emotionally exhausting situation to say the least. Until I met and sat wit Brian that I felt a sense of relief. Consultation was extensively insightful and informative. I'm happy to say, a few months later, the best possible outcomes were attained, my life is on track towards normal again.

Incredible attorney. He accepted my case and explained his strategy. His confidence calmed me down during this stressful situation. He is very well prepared and likes to have things ready ahead of time. When the court day came, he was able to get my charges dropped to a lesser charge. He made the best out of an bad situation. I would definitely recommend him.

They did an extraordinary job with my case that money couldn't buy. The results were the only thing that I cared about because me having anything on my record would caused me to lose my career. The time and consideration they give their clients is outstanding and I truly appreciate the effort that they put in. hey did everything for me and Handled it professionally.

It is not until one is faced with a legal matter that one realizes that our legal system is far from perfect, and that innocence does not necessarily exempt you from legal jeopardy. Once caught in a legal matter, there is an emotional and stressful toll to pay which derives from the uncertainty of the unknown. I am very pleased and grateful that I was able to retain Brian’s services to attend to a most unpleasant experience. Throughout the duration, Brian was supportive and understanding. He explained legal lingo in terms that I could understand and often forwarded links to source where I could further understand the matters at hand. Brian displayed a commanding knowledge of his field while exercising caution in offering advice out of his area of expertise. While it is apparent that Brian is adroit in the courtroom, I was able to ascertain that he is a warm and caring professional. As my case developed and eventually unfolded into a very successful resolution, I was very happy and grateful that I had Brian Valerio in my corner.

Choosing Brian was THE BEST decision we ever made. Through the entire process, Brian tried his best to fight for the best result, met with the assigned ADA and we were eventually able to get the case dismissed straight away. We could never asked for a better result! Brian has a strong personality in court, and we have complete faith that he would do his best to fight for us.

When I found myself in trouble I was referred to Jeff Greco as the solution to my problem. The first day I walked into his office and talked with him and his associate Brian Valerio to explain my case. Their level of attention to work and get the best results in my case was beyond my expectations. Both, Jeff and Brian, would provide me with answers every time I had a question regarding my case, without a doubt, they were always available to provide me the best service. Jeff and Brian managed to minimize my charges. To this day, I am very thankful I selected the right team to solve my case. Best attorneys you can have on your side. -Christian S

Jeffrey Greco is a friend in need! My best friend acquainted this firm with me and I am extremely grateful for having them to assist us with my case. It happened a few months ago, I got a speeding ticket going 90 mph in a 50 zone and caught driving under the influence of liquor. Within only two or three weeks working with this firm, my case was diminished to a negligible fine with 30 day community service. They were exceptionally expert and they made the whole procedure simple and stressful. I exceedingly recommend this firm!

Jeffery Greco has the expertise to get you the best possible results and will dedicate himself to your case. I got a DUI and was very worried about loosing my license, and possibly my job. However, he made me feel confident that I was in good hands. My case was resolved weeks after, with the best result I could have hoped for. I never missed any work, he handled everything. Thank you!

Don't waste your freedom and fund on money shark attorneys who take no personal pride in your case. Greco Neyland is a great lawyer who is responsible enough to guide and care for you. He understands and is very knowledgeable and confident in what he does, and he delivers excellent results. Now that I'm through it all, he's the only attorney I would refer a friend or family member to. Thank you again.

Lawyer Jeff Greco is a great trial lawyer. Many defense lawyers don’t look to take cases to trial, but Mr. Greco does. He was relentless in my defense and very aggressive. It was the perfect strategy for the situation, and I couldn’t have asked for more from my lawyer.
Mauro C
03:09 27 Mar 18
I didn’t have a big case or major situation for Jeff to handle, but many questions about a small criminal matter. He took the time to speak with me over the phone and even meet in person to help with my situation. Eventually he helped to convince the ADA to throw out the charges. Thanks Jeff for taking on something much smaller than your normal cases - and thanks for making me feel just as important as your big case clients.

I contacted Greco Neyland with questions about my assault case, and was quickly happy with what I heard from Jeff Greco. Mr. Greco is intelligent, responsive, and aware of criminal law in New York. He provided legal advice that was easy to understand and straightforward. Throughout my entire case he never left me out in the dark and constantly provided updates on my case. I’d give Mr. Greco my highest recommendation as NYC defense lawyer.
Joyce Fills
10:06 15 Mar 18
I felt like Jeff Greco really took care of me and he was concerned with the outcome of my case. He was very detailed - he asked a lot of questions about what happened before and after my arrest in NYC and a lot of other things. I hope I never go through a criminal case again. I would recommend Jeff Greco to anyone of my friends.

I hired Jeff Greco during one of the most difficult times of my life. The nightmare started when I was arrested on drug charges in NYC. I had nowhere to turn for help but prosecutors offered a deal and my attorney at the time was pushing to end the case and take the deal. I started calling lawyers all over New York City, but talking with Mr. Greco on the phone was the first time I felt really comfortable. Hiring Jeff Greco, was a great decision and I likely wouldn’t have received the good outcome in my case without him.
Richard Harris
02:45 06 Mar 18
I had a lot of cost concerns hiring a private defense attorney. I worried about taking a part-time job to cover the expenses and dreaded that first bill for my defense, but with Jeff Greco I didn’t need to worry. The lawyers I worked with were constantly aware of my cost limitations and keeping the expenses as reasonable as possible, He is not cheap...but he made it work for us in our situation. Plus, everyone I spoke to in the office was willing to answer my questions or send an email. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer during a difficult time in my life.
Erica Rogers

Jeff Greco is a NYC lawyer that understands the importance of communication and a fast response. As a client, the last thing I want is to spend days or a week waiting to hear from my lawyer. Jeff Greco called me immediately and gave me his cell phone. He took my calls when I needed to be calmed down or if I had pressing questions. All of my questions were answered and I never felt forgotten or neglected. I knew Jeff was on top of my defense at all times!
Richard Rutledge
05:43 26 Feb 18
Top notch lawyer! The reviews for Jeff Greco said 5 stars and a 10.0 - I know why now. I hired Jeff to go to trial on a DWI and drug case b/c my other lawyer didn’t think I should go to trial. When I hired Jeff the first thing he said when I told him I wanted to go to trial was - “Great. When is the trial date? Let’s do this.” He was actually glad to see I was willing to fight the charges. I am a med student so this was critical for me to be exonerated. Jeff went to trial and destroyed the arresting officer on cross examination. The jury deliberated 9 minutes and found me not guilty of BOTH the DWI & the drug case. I never doubted Jeff Greco’s commitment to my case or his willingness to fight for a good outcome - this verdict just proved I was right.

Last year, I was charged with domestic violence (all made up lies), and spent weeks trying to argue there wasn’t any truth to the accusations. I hired Jeff Greco because he was the first one who actually believed me. He not only convinced everyone involved that I was innocent, but gave me an opportunity to tell my side of the story. I’m still grateful for all of their help. I moved on with my life and I don’t have a criminal record either! Jeff got my case dismissed b/c he believed in me and showed the DA I didn’t do anything wrong.

Jeff Greco managed to achieve a great outcome in my husband’s criminal case. Before contacting the firm, we were incredibly worried about going to dealing with the prosecutors and going to trial – especially because the arraignment was overwhelming enough. But Jeff was confident from the start, and our family couldn’t be more grateful for his work. My husband has put this horrible chapter of his life behind him thanks to Jeff!

From the start, my experience with Jeff was professional, but personal. In handling my federal criminal case, Jeff used discretion and took confidentiality seriously. It really built trust in a complicated legal situation. It was the scariest time of my life, and Jeff was able to keep me out of prison. I owe him more than words can describe!

At first I thought my arrest for DWI wasn’t a big deal, but my DWI case escalated because of separate charges for reckless driving and refusing a breathalyzer test. Just before my court hearing, I knew I needed an attorney – fast! Jeff Greco was quick to help explain the DWI process, put together a defense, and explain everything along the way.

When I was charged with a federal case - I thought the world was slipping away. I was referred to Greco Neyland by a friend and was cautiously guided through my case and what to expect. Jeff was calm throughout and this went a long way.

The best of the best!!!! I had bad blood with neighbors that lasted many years, which led to me being accused of vandalizing their car. I have no criminal history at all by the way. i found out that i had to turn myself in, so before i did i called up Jeff Greco late at night. he returned my phone call early the next morning and had a meeting. He got in touch with the detective and got me a DAT. I didn't have to step one foot in a jail cell for something i never did. throughout the course of the case his team was excellent. i couldn't of asked for anything more . During the case i was being accused again of vandalizing their car on two other occasions, which led to more adjournments. Anytime i was worried about something that had to do with the case, Jeff was there, he was straight didn't sugar coat anything and was persistent. I finally got an ACD pretty quickly considering the false accusations and I owe it all to Greco and his team of amazing lawyers. He made me feel protected and well defended during a not so wonderful time in my life.

I'm just going to start this review by saying Jeff Greco is amazing attorney. I have absolutely no complaints about the service he provided me. He was knowledgeable, available at all times and very understanding. I can tell Jeff Greco actually cared about me and the situation I was going through. He seemed well connected and respected in the court system community and got my case dropped from a DWI charge to a violation very swiftly. I was going through financial problems, he not once pressured me about payments. Again not only is he an Amazing attorney but also an AMAZING human being. I would recondmend Mr. Jeff Greco to anyone! -Anthony Vargas

I was facing 20 years to life for a federal conspiracy case. Jeff push for a speedy trail the goverment came down to ten years it being is one time deal offer then came down to three years and finally a week before trial try to change my trial date. Jeff wrote a letter apposing this adjourment which the judge apposed. Two weeks later jeff walk me out from jail with time served. Till this day i can text him and he will answer me jeff is like a friend that i owe my life to. From my experience being in federal jail most attorney wont fight for you because the federal govement is unbeatable the only thing he ask for was for the truth which i did tell him and he took it from there . Thank you jeff

first offense for me and i was super nervous. i called multiple attorneys and the first thing they would ask was if you knew my fee. From the moment i spoke to Jeff Greco he made me feel like we were friends and I made a mistake and not to worry he has my back. Jeff was available at all times and when ever I texted he was prompt, no matter how many questions I had, which happened to be a lot. He got my case dismissed and made sure I was comfortable the whole time I time he was defending me. I would definitely recommend Jeffrey Greco.

2 years ago I was charged with a crime "cash smuggling " I made the mistake of not reporting the amount of cash I was taking out of the USA . Prior to that I've never committed a crime , not even a traffic ticket on my record. So you can imagine what I felt that day that I was arrested. I've never been in a trial before , I didn't know who to call, I didn't know any lawyers in this type of case. Thank God my sister in law worked in a attorneys office so she ask her boss (attorney) if she knew somebody GOOD In this type of cases. Her boss automatically said he needs somebody with power and with a good record -MR. Jeffery L. Greco (Jeff) . Having Jeff by my side was the Best decision I've made in my life. The level of professionalism and caring of this man is Amazing . I've always heard that lawyers are just interesting in the money , it wasn't the case with "Jeff " he wanted me free, he wanted me to keep my job and enjoyed the freedom with my family . He kept money to the side , he worked with me, with my situation , and he was never intimidated by the Judge. I can not stress enough how he treated me through out the entire case, so much respect . I don't know much lawyers, but He is the one you want to defend you. I didn't step a foot in jail, i was able to keep my job, and now I'm enjoying freedom. Jeff and I still text each other here and there , is like we're family , i consider him my friend. I owed my life to this man, best attorney ever. Jose L Cabrera .
