Can I look up my charges online in Suffolk County? Yes, you can find most charges online at Webcrims for criminal and traffic cases in the Suffolk County First District Court in Central Islip and Suffolk County Court in Riverhead.

Can I get a license to drive? Yes, after your Suffolk County DWI arrest, you can obtain a conditional license after 30 days from the date of your arrest.

What is a hardship license? A hardship license may be granted by the Suffolk Judge in your case to help you get through the 30 day window until you obtain a conditional license from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

If I post bail with the Court, will I get my money back? Yes, but often the bond will be subject to a 3% administrative fee when the bond is returned, typically at the end of the case.

How long will my case take? That depends on many factors. Mostcriminal cases settle within a few months to a year, but cases that go to trial can take far longer. The length depends on many factors, including:
