It appears on your criminal record as well as on your driving record. You may contact my office for a free phone consultation.

Absolutely not. A first-time NY DWAI conviction in New York is deemed a "violation," not a "crime." Therefore, you will not have a criminal record (if that was the only charge).
Will there be a record of the proceeding? Yes. A record is kept of every court proceeding. In addition, anytime a person is arrested and fingerprinted in NYS a record is generated and kept by the NY State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). It's commonly referred to as the "rap sheet."
