what happens when you have a new york state cdl license and you get a dwi

Many people post questions here asking about their chances in court. No one online can validly predict what the future holds. The subject penalties may be based on a myriad of reasons. Many factors such as age, prosecutor discretion, what judge you have, whether witnesses are credible all matter and that makes it near impossible to say what "does he get".

Check with a NY lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
