NJ L&PS: Highway Traffic Safety: Alcohol Awareness

In New Jersey, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he/she operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater. BAC refers to the amount of alcohol in your blood. Although the law refers to a 0.08 percent BAC, you can be convicted of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor even when your BAC is below 0.08 percent. The BAC threshold determining drunk driving was changed from 0.10 percent to 0.08 percent in early 2004. Consuming even small amounts of alcohol dulls the senses, decreases reaction time, and hampers judgement, vision and alertness. If you consume any amount of alcohol and your driving is affected, you can be convicted of drunk driving. Parents and Guardians:

A parent or guardian who is convicted of driving under the influence and who has a minor under age 17 as a passenger in the motor vehicle is also guilty of a disorderly persons offense. In addition to the penalties otherwise prescribed by law, a person shall forfeit the right to operate a motor vehicle for a period of not more than six months and shall be ordered to perform community service for a period of not more than five days.

    1. DelTufo & DelTufo: If you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI), which is also known as driving under the influence (DUI), a DUI/DWI lawyer can help to get the charges against you reduced or dropped and can help you keep your driver's license. You may have heard that if you failed a Breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer test, you have no chance to reduce your charges or obtain an acquittal. This is not necessarily the case. An experienced criminal defense attorney can explain the criminal process to you and protect your rights. It is essential that you obtain experienced, aggressive representation to minimize the damage to your life.

    1. Calogero, Gina: DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED A DWI conviction, or conviction for refusal to take an alcohol test, is a serious offense in New Jersey, involving fines, penalties, surcharges, mandatory loss of license and even, in some cases, jail time. If the blood alcohol level is between .08 and .10, the license suspension is 3 months; over .10 it is 7 months for a first offense. A second offense results in a two-year suspension with up to 90 days in jail, and a third offense results in a 10-year suspension with up to 6 months in jail. For subsequent offenses, you may also be required to install an ignition lock in your vehicle that will test your breath before driving. There is no such thing as a limited driving license in New Jersey Ð not even for driving to work. It is important to have the advice of an attorney when facing such serious consequences.

  18. Orange County
    1. Edward Kasselman: Despite the public outcry in favor of tougher penalties for this offense, a person charged with a violation of the drunk driving statute is still entitled to the protections of the United States Constitution and other laws. A person's right to an attorney, right to remain silent, right to a fair trial, and the need for the State to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, as well as the presumption of innocence, must all be observed by the prosecuting authority.

    1. Chang, Joseph: Do not allow to accumulate points on your license Do not let the police of excessive fines Do not let settle and lose its license, fight for their rights Do not let a traffic violation could jeopardize the commercial license (CDL) Do not let your response to a criminal charge to become a large fine or the loss of his license Many people think that traffic violations - and puden serious violations result in suspension of driver's license - which only people of higher economic resources can fight. The truth is that many of our customers pay less in fines or expenses related to traffic violations once we hire to represent them and dangerous for their rights.
  25. Pennington
    1. Carl Ippolito: Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure (FRCP) 11, prosecutors may promise to move to dismiss other charges or recommend that the court authorize a specific sentence or sentencing range in order to encourage a criminal defendant to plead guilty to a certain charge. In addition, Rule 11 requires courts to advise a defendant considering entering into a plea agreement that the defendant has no right to withdraw the plea if the court does not follow the prosecutor's request or recommendation. In fact, failure to warn a defendant that there is no right to withdraw a plea if the court rejects the prosecutor's request or recommendation may entitle a defendant who is subsequently convicted to obtain relief based on a Rule 11 failing.

When questioned for OUI before arrest, you are not in custody for purposes of Miranda warnings. If you politely refuse to answer any of the officer's questions concerning the OUI investigation, either before or after arrest, then there won't be any statements that can be used against you in court. 2. Insist On Your Right To Speak To and To Call Your Attorney. 3. Be Calm. Always be polite and respectful to the police officers. Be cooperative -- but no tests. How you are perceived by a jury is extremely critical.

Sentences in municipal court can include significant fines, loss of license, and imprisonment.

    1. Villani & DeLuca: There are over more than 700 DWI charges issued per week and over 30,000 issued per year according to NJ statistics. Driving while intoxicated encompasses driving while under the influence of alcohol but also includes situations where a driver is impaired by the influence of drugs both legal and illegal. The current law provides for a person to be considered under the influence of alcohol if their Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) is above (.08) as determined by a blood or breath test. Under NJ law you are required to submit to a breathalyzer examination or blood test as the case may be and failure to do so carries penalties similar to that if found guilty for DWI. Unlike other states, DWI is not considered a criminal offense in New Jersey, however, the penalties which include jail in certain instances are severe even though not technically "criminal." The law on DWI is continuously changing, that is why you should hire an experienced DWI lawyer to defend you.
  33. Pompton Plains
    1. Azrak & Associates: It must be remembered, however, that it is not necessary for the police to produce a breathalyzer result or a blood or urine test in order for a person to be found guilty of DWI. Police frequently use a series of psychological and physical roadside tests to determine if the driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs so as to justify requiring him to take the breathalyzer; that is, to establish probable cause for requiring the breathalyzer test. Also, the test results can be used, along with observations of the drivers demeanor, appearance and behavior, as circumstantial evidence to draw an inference that the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  34. Port Washington
    1. Murray Singer: The police are not required to read you any Miranda rights ("You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. . . .). The Miranda rights are required only if the police or prosecutor want to use what you say against you in court. The rights were developed to make sure that a person knows that he or she does not have to talk to the police, and thus to make sure that any statements made to the police are made voluntarily. In practice, the police often do not tell the truth about having given the rights, or read them to you in a way that makes you think that you have to talk. You should NEVER talk to the police without first contacting a lawyer.

    1. Tobin, Reitman, Greenstein, Caruso, Wiener & Konray: With NJ DWI offense defines the defense The first thing a New Jersey DWI attorney must do when determining a defense strategy is consider the offense that you are charged with. Is this your first, your second DWI offense or your fifth? Were there any related charges in the arrest, such as DUI manslaughter? Did you cause an accident? Were you caught with illegal substances? Were there assault charges? Factors like these dramatically affect the defense approach that a knowledgeable New Jersey DWI lawyer will take in regard to your case. New Jersey-specific laws affect your case New Jersey has DUI laws and arrest laws that protect your rights when you are facing a trial or DWI arrest in New Jersey. These laws, in conjunction with the events of your arrest, may present opportunities for your lawyer. For example, the field sobriety test requires strict adherence to test procedures. Improperly administered, test results may be inadmissible in court. Your best defense is choosing the right NJ DWI attorney Not all attorneys are equally capable of defending you when you face DUI charges. For a strong defense, consider these tips on selecting the best DWI attorney in New Jersey to represent you in court. Free may be expensive. In most DUI arrests, the state provides you an attorney for free if you cannot afford to hire one. But if you are not happy with the state-appointed attorney, you do not get to swap out for a different state-appointed attorney based on preferences. Expect a better outcome when you hand pick and hire a New Jersey DWI attorney with a strong track record. Experience matters. You know the expression because it is trueÑexperience is the best teacher. Look for an attorney with a deep history of legal experience. DUI-specific defense experience makes a difference. With NJ DWI charges, your finances, your freedom, and your reputation are at stake. A family friend attorney is a risky choice when have a DUI arrest, unless he or she is also deeply familiar with New Jersey DWI law. Look for local knowledge DUI defense clients benefit from an attorney who has familiarity with the court staff and prosecutors in your area. Knowing the local courts and judges better positions your attorneys to negotiate the best deal on your behalf. Look for a strong success record A lawyer may have decades of experience, but unless the lawyer has turned experiences into success, keep looking for one who has a proven track record with defense for DWI in NJ.

    1. Turlik & Budanitsky: A first DWI / DUI conviction in New Jersey may result in a few hundred to several thousand dollars in fines and surcharges. Penalties are doubled and mandatory jail time added if the offense occurs in a school zone -- and drivers' licenses may be suspended for up to two years. A second or third offense is likely to result in jail time, as well as higher priced penalties and other punitive measures. A driver charged with a DWI / DUI offense needs the help of an experienced trial lawyer. An attorney experienced in drunk driving defense will examine every angle of a case: was there probable cause for a traffic stop? If the driver consented to a Breathalyzer test, was that test done properly? Was the equipment properly calibrated? Answers to these and other questions may enable an astute DWI / DUI lawyer to mount an aggressive defense in a DWI / DUI arrest case. In some cases, charges may be lessened to much less serious charges of reckless driving.

    1. Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrman & Knopf: Criminal and municipal offenses are serious matters that can impact a full range of rights and liberties, from driving a vehicle to sleeping in your own bed. Securing the best representation is critical to ensuring that your rights are protected and the most favorable outcome obtained. Criminal cases range from simple traffic offenses to complex white collar crimes. All must be dealt with immediately and with experienced defense counsel. A traffic offense can result in a substantial fine, an insurance surcharge and even loss of driving privileges for you or a family member. White collar crime often arises in a business context. Potential white collar crime penalties include fines, prison sentences and forfeiture. Highly competent counsel is critical to preserving your rights and protecting your future. Criminal proceedings can be held in Municipal, State and Federal Courts

Many require them to get to their jobs and pursue household obligations freely.
  54. South Orange
    1. Sayegh, James: Do not plead guilty before speaking to a lawyer! If you were charged with drunk driving, possession of marijuana or reckless driving, you could be facing substantial fines, loss of your driverÕs license or even jail time. If you are a college student, pleading guilty to any one of the offenses listed above could have a devastating impact on your ability to find the job you want after graduation. Do not plead guilty before discussing your case with a lawyer. Pick up the phone and schedule a free consultation with a criminal defense attorney who can examine the facts of your case, explain the possible fines and penalties you may be facing and advise you every step of the way.
  55. South Plainfield
    1. Lanza & Lanza: A DUI can happen to anyone. You may not be familiar with the criminal defense system, but an experienced lawyer can help protect your rights. If you have been arrested for drunk driving, you will most likely lose your license. While jail is unlikely for a first offense, the consequences go up for each subsequent drunk driving charge. A third DUI is an indictable offense and will result in mandatory jail time and a 10-year license suspension. You want to do everything you can to fight your first DUI offenses in order to protect your rights today and into the future. Even the consequences of a DUI come with potential dangers. Whether it is your first DUI or a repeat offense, your license will most likely be suspended. Driving on a suspended license for DUI is a first-degree indictable offense, which can result in jail time. When you take a vigorous stand in court, there are a number of things you can do to fight your drunk driving charge. We will look into the validity of the initial traffic stop and check the validity of the blood alcohol tests and field sobriety tests.

Municipal Court in the State of New Jersey is often called the ÒPeopleÕs CourtÓ because it is the court that most people come in contact with. Many people, however, make the mistake of not being represented when they go to Municipal Court. This can be a serious mistake. Although municipal court offenses often seem minor, they can result in substantial fines, loss of a driverÕs license, motor vehicle points and even jail in some cases. Because of these penalties, you should always consult with an Attorney before going to Municipal Court alone and before pleading guilty.

    1. Michael Miller: In order to obtain relief based on a claim of error, the defendant must generally "preserve" the claim of error by making a timely objection. In the absence of a timely objection, a claim of error becomes "unpreserved" and the standard for reversal is the plain error standard. Under FRCP 52(b), courts may consider "a plain error that affects substantial rights...even though it was not brought to the court's attention." The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the plain error standard to mean that an error must have "substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the...verdict." Further, the Court has required defendants seeking relief based on plain error to show "a reasonable probability that, but for [the error claimed], the result of the proceeding would have been different."

  77. Westmont
    1. Hoffner, Chris: DUI: What do you need to know? Penalties: Even a first time DWI conviction in New Jersey requires a mandatory suspension of 7 months, which the Court can increase up to one year. There are no WORK LICENSES in New Jersey and driving while suspended requires a mandatory jail sentence of 10 to 180 days after a DUI. Second and third offense DUI's have mandatory jail time. The law also requires a full 6 month jail term for a third or subsequent DUI. DUI sentences also include fines and surcharges of roughly $4000 for a first offense and greater amounts for subsequent offenses. Time is of the essence: New Jersey requires that DUI cases be resolved within 60 days of the issuance of the summons. Therefore, you must seek legal services as soon as possible in order to insure that your case is properly prepared when called for trial. The sooner you act, the better chance you have of mounting a defense. What can be done: No one can guarantee results. But, we will order discovery, review it thoroughly and look for each and every avenue of defense. Every case is different and time is of the essence. For example, did you know that some municipalities video tape every part of the testing procedure? Some police cars are equipped to video tape what happens on the side of the road? There is a difference between the old "breathalyzer" machine and the newer "Alco-test". If there is a hole in the State's case, we'll find it, and if need be, we will TAKE THE CASE TO TRIAL!

    2. Randall & Randall: A traffic offense like reckless driving or speeding can add points to your driver's license and raise your insurance rates. A DWI arrest and conviction can result in license suspension, higher insurance rates, mandatory classes, chemical evaluation, and even jail time. An arrest for even a small amount of marijuana or a first-time theft charge can mean a criminal record that can affect your reputation and your education and career opportunities. There can be lasting consequences to every criminal charge and conviction. With so much on the line, it makes sense to hire a lawyer who will look out for your best interests throughout the life of your case.
  81. Whippany
    1. Helfand & Associates: While municipal court cases are "offenses" compared to "crimes", many lower court charges carry stiff penalties. In New Jersey, driving while intoxicated (DWI) is among the most serious municipal court offenses. If you are charged with a DWI offense, you may lose your driver's license or serve a jail sentence. Not only is your freedom at stake, but also your ability to earn a living. You and your family may be affected in a variety of ways, including: Mandatory Jail Sentence - 3rd offenders Mandatory loss of driver's license Fines Vehicle Immobilization or Forfeiture Alcohol abuse assessment and treatment Community service Criminal record - if drugs involved Increased insurance rates and surcharges Cancellation of Insurance Mandatory Alcohol Safety School Job loss When you are charged with a DWI, it is essential to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney at your side.

    1. John Luby: A drunk driving case can easily be one of the most challenging for the Municipal Court attorney. Both for society and individual, there is a great deal resting on its outcome.

    1. Joseph Rodgers: The defense of cases involving charges of intoxicated driving begins with a thorough client interview. An attorney must know the medical and psychological history of the client, family history, education, and employment history before even discussing the events leading to the arrest. Every aspect of the accused person's background is extremely important in evaluating the evidence. Integrating the client's history with the law relating to the offense presents client and attorney with the right information to make crucial tactical decisions necessary to a successful defense.

    1. Fridie Law Group: Drunk Driver Defense in New Jersey Social drinking is an accepted part of our society. People have a few cocktails during happy hour, a couple beers during the football game or a drink with dinner. Although most people do not get behind the wheel when they know they are drunk, it is easy to reach the legal limit without feeling as though your ability is impaired. Even if you do not feel drunk, if your blood alcohol content is .08 or higher, you could be arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI). If that is the situation you are in, it is important to work with an experienced Trenton DWI/DUI attorney.

    1. Scott DePhillips: You may be thinking about pleading guilty and sending your ticket in by mail.
