Legal Question in DUI Law in New York

probation violation - 2nd offense

I am on probation (2nd year of 3 year sentence) for a 2nd DWI

my probation officer has sent ''notice'' of action taken (said she didn't violate me)to the court and has required me to turn in my license again

if I don't and get arrested for a violation what would the likely jail sentence be??

should I just turn in my license, go back to classes, and everything they are requiring for this last year and grin and bear it??

I am very worried about my job if I were to lose my license again but I am also very sick and tired of all the hassle

Thank you

you should ABSOLUTELY grin and bear it, and follow along as required by your sentence. If you do not the violation of your probation may be a further Felony charge.

You are playing with fire. I don't think any attorney would feel comfortable giving you advice with the limited information in your question. If you need a referral to a competent DWI attorney in your area, you may contact me via email.
