The law against driving while under the influence of drugs is Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1192.4, an unclassified misdemeanor. I'm not aware of any exception for methadone.

Do I really need to hire a attorney for a DUI?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Rothstein Law PLLC
The court will appoint you an attorney if you are indigent. DUI is a real specialty anyway so I would not want to have any public defender the court might appoint. DUI has serious consequences so I suggest you try to find someone.

Will a DWI charge always show on my record? Is there a way to clear my record after a certain amount of time has passed?

Evan H Nass
Answered by attorney Evan H Nass (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nass & Roper Law, LLP
Hi, It depends on what it is you were actually charged with and ultimately what you pleaded down to. If you were charged with a DWI, but took a violation and a 90 day license suspension, for instance, then it will not be on your record. New York state criminal record searches do not include violations, so if you received one, it won't show on your record. Misdemeanors will.  Unfortunately, NY State does not allow the expungment of a record, so if you have one, it will show when a search is conducted, despite the fact that it occurred so long ago.  I hope this helps (hard to answer in more detail without knowing complete specifics on your case). Thanks, Evan H. Nass, Esq Nass & Roper Law, LLP14 Penn Plaza Suite 2004New York, NY 10001718-775-3246
