November 5, 2025

By Daniel G. Rodgers
Getting arrested for driving while impaired by drugs (DWAI-Drugs) such as marijuana in Suffolk County, New York is a very serious matter. The courts and the District Attorney will treat this arrest similarly to an alcohol DWI driving while intoxicated arrest in Suffolk County. A conviction can lead to jail time, significant fines, mandatory license revocation/suspension, probation, and a permanent criminal record. You should obtain the guidance of an experienced DWI lawyer in Suffolk County, such as a former prosecutor.
