Drunk Driver on Long Island Crashes through Neighbors’ House

A Lake Ronkonkoma man is facing a DWI charge after driving his vehicle into his next-door neighbor’s house on Sunday November 24, 2014.  According to authorities, the 20-year-old male was driving a 2010 Hyundai Sonata when he crashed through the neighbors’ front door.  The driver fled the scene, but police were able to easily locate him as it was quickly discovered that he lived next door.  Fortunately, all of the individuals inside the house escaped injury.

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a dangerous and costly illegal offense.  Alcohol not only severely impairs your driving abilities; it also affects your judgment and coordination. If you are convicted of a DWI as a first offense, the consequences may be harsh. Common consequences include fines of between $500 and $1,000, up to 1 year in jail, a minimum of 3 years’ probation, and revocation of your driver’s license for at least 6 months. In addition, there are a number of other fines and programs that may be imposed on you by the court.

The best lawyers
I had an incredible experience working with this law firm for my case. Chris and Karen were so supportive and communicative during the process and it was such a pleasure speaking with them. I had a difficult case and I reached out to them with such short notice, only 24 hours in advance and they were able to show up to my court date the very next morning and also got my case dismissed. I was really impressed when they started to working on my case immediately while I was still there. They are very efficient and I felt like they really cared about my situation. Everyone in the office is really friendly and communicative and they made the process truly stress free. The office is really nice and the waiting area is pleasant as well. If you feel uneasy or unsure , be assured that this firm will have you feeling relieved and happy with the results. I would refer this firm to anyone in need of legal representation especially on late notice. Can wholeheartedly say they’re top notch lawyers. Thank you again
Chris is the man. I had an issue related to school matters and I was stressed and didn’t know who to turn to. I found Chris, and he was so helpful. He knows what he’s doing and we were able to get the outcome we wanted. Thank you! Will not hesitate to use you again should I need to. Whether it’s educational law, personal injury, etc. Very responsive and attentive.
