Hardship Privilege

Are You Eligible for a Hardship License in New York?

If you have been arrested for a DWI in Westchester, Rockland County, or elsewhere in New York, your driving privileges are in question. Your driver's license will most likely be suspended at arraignment, but a "hardship privilege" could be available to you, if you qualify.

The experienced DWI defense lawyers at Greenspan & Greenspan work hard to achieve this pre-conviction hardship privilege for you. Our attorneys have worked to protect the rights of New York clients since 1959.

Witnesses are typically interviewed at hardship privilege proceedings. Our familiarity with judges and prosecutors in the local jurisdictions can help in our attempts to show hardship and the necessity of conditional license. We want you to be able to continue to pursue your livelihood, education or medical treatment, even if only on a temporary basis.

Contact us immediately if you were arrested for DWI and are seeking a hardship privilege to drive. Call toll free for a confidential phone consultation at 888-895-8231.

Factors that a court may consider in weighing the need for a hardship privilege include:

  • Number of licensed persons in your household
  • Ability of those household members to provide transportation
  • Number of co-workers, friends or family members who could help with transportation
  • Your occupation and health condition
  • Proximity of your employer, school or health care provider
  • Your ability to afford public transportation

If public transportation is your only available option, we can provide you with schedules and additional information. We want your life and work routine to continue with minimum inconvenience following your DWI arrest.

Recent high-profile, alcohol-related tragedies occurring in Westchester County have made it all the more difficult for people charged with DWI, DWAI (Driving With Ability Impaired) or DWAI-Drugs. It is crucial that you discuss your situation with one of our attorneys well in advance of arraignment in order to determine if you qualify for a hardship privilege.
