Defending Your Rights: New Jersey DUI/DWI Charges
Arrested for drunk driving in New Jersey? The consequences can upend your life. Don’t let a single incident determine your future. Our experienced DUI defense attorneys will mount a strategic and aggressive defense.
Understanding the Stakes: New Jersey's Drunk Driving Laws
- Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): Operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher in New Jersey is illegal. Penalties escalate with increased BAC levels.
- Underage DUI: New Jersey has a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21. Even a trace amount of alcohol can lead to severe consequences.
- Penalties: Drunk driving convictions can result in heavy fines, driver’s license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, jail time, and the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. Repeat offenses lead to even harsher punishments.
Science and Experience: Your Keys to a Strong DUI Defense
- Challenging Field Sobriety Tests: These roadside tests are subjective and prone to misinterpretation. An officer’s observations, environmental factors, and even medical conditions can skew results.
- Scrutinizing Breathalyzer Evidence: Breathalyzer machines require precise calibration, maintenance, and strict operating procedures. We expose any technical errors or procedural lapses that could invalidate the results.
- Analyzing Blood Tests: Mishandling of blood samples, lab errors, and contamination can compromise blood test results. We work with experts to identify potential flaws in the blood testing process.
- Leveraging Our Courtroom Experience: Our attorneys know the ins and outs of New Jersey DUI law. We aggressively expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, negotiate for reduced charges, and fight tirelessly for your rights in court.
Proven Strategies. Successful Outcomes.
- Negotiating with Prosecutors: We leverage our experience to seek plea bargains, reduced charges, or alternative sentencing options.
- Uncovering Police Procedural Errors: If law enforcement violated your rights or mishandled procedures, we may be able to have your case dismissed.
