DWI/DWAI Evaluations

The following information is required prior to you being seen for a DWI/DWAI Evaluation during our Same Day Access Hours. We strongly suggest that you provide us with this information prior to the day you plan to come in for your evaluation so we can make sure you have all the required documents. Many times your attorney may have the documents you need so you should begin by checking with them and asking them to fax them to us at 315-470-8379 Attn: Admissions Department.
The following documents are needed:
• Copy of your arrest report with the narrative and the BAC level, Blood results or Refusal letter (If your attorney does not have this information you will need to contact the arresting agency).
• Copy of your New York State Drivers Abstract (or abstract from the state in which state you have your driver’s license). This must be dated within the past 2 months (This can be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles for a nominal fee).
• Collateral contact person – must be a family member, household member, significant other or close friend over the age of 18, whom you see on a regular basis and knows you well. This person will need to come with you in order to be interviewed on your behalf.
• Insurance information
You will be asked to sign a release for your attorney so they can obtain the results of your evaluation. Your results/recommendations will NOT be completed the same day. You and your attorney will receive notification by mail at a future date.
