Penalty: Leandra's Law

Leandra’s Law is a serious penalty, and a felony offense, because it is a DWI offense of driving while intoxicated with children (under 16 years of age) in the vehicle. Mr. Barker, a 28-year-old Ronkonkoma father is potentially liable for the offense when his vehicle struck another vehicle on the Long Island Expressway on November 2, 2014. Mr. Barker drove his car while intoxicated with four child passengers. Fines for this felony offense range from $1,000 to $5,000, and the crime is punishable by prison sentences. Depending on the injuries suffered by children passengers in the offender’s vehicle, the prison sentences vary between 5 and 25 years of imprisonment. If a parent is liable for the offense, the police report is made available to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment. As a legal professional, having a live person available to answer your phones 24/7/365 is extremely beneficial. New clients, experiencing serious issues as described above, do not leave messages on the voicemail. These clients seek the assurance of having immediate interaction in a time of conflict and panic.
