- Lepore & Luizzi: If you face drunk driving, traffic violation, drug possession, or other municipal court charges, you need an experienced and capable defense attorney to protect your rights and freedom. DUI Penalties in New Jersey DUI penalties vary depending on how high your BAC was when you were pulled over, and whether it's a first, second, or third offense. Realistically, minimum fines and penalty you will face for driving or boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs for a first offense are: * $500 * 12 hours of class in the Intoxicated Drivers' Resource Center * three month suspension of your license * up to 30 days in jail For a third offense, the maximum fines and penalty can be as high as: * $2000 * thousands of dollars of charges from your insurance company * minimum of 6 months in jail * 10 year suspension of your driver's license After the ten years are up, for a third offense, your car will need to be fitted with an ignition interlock device, which is a breathalyzer test device you'll need to use every time you want to turn on your car.
- Koufos & Norgaard: Drunk Driving Violations New Jersey Courts treat DWI charges very seriously, and a conviction means a mandatory loss of your driving privileges. In addition, there are substantial fines, related surcharges and, in some circumstances, jail time. There is a common misperception that DWI charges are "unwinnable." However, an attorney will subpoena critical information about the traffic stop, the field sobriety tests, the administration and maintenance of the breathalyzer, and, in most cases, allow an expert to review the scientific data inherent in DWI prosecutions. Before "pleading out" and asking the Court for mercy, consult an attorney to protect your interests.
- Kalas & Jannarone: Successfully overcoming a DWI charge is extremely difficult, but it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. You should not automatically plead guilty without speaking to an experienced attorney. At first blush, it may appear that you will save money by pleading guilty without representation. However, this is not necessarily true. Driving While Intoxicated ("DWI" or "DUI") The penalties associated with being found guilty of New Jersey's DWI Statute, 39:4-50 (provided below), can be life changing. Further, there are severe enhancements to DWI penalties which may apply to you depending on a number of factors. These enhancements can cause you to lose your drivers license for an additional period of time, cost you thousands of additional dollars, subject you to additional charges and even land you in jail. Worse, plea-bargains are NOT permitted in Municipal Court DWI cases (even though it is available for most other charges.) It is no secret that New Jersey's strict DWI laws are among the toughest in the Country. As such, successfully overcoming a DWI charge is extremely difficult. However, successfully defending a DWI or related charge is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. You should not automatically plead guilty without speaking to an experienced attorney. At first blush, it may appear that you will save money by pleading guilty without representation. However, this is not necessarily true. In many instances, there are a number of viable defenses and arguments that can lead to a successful result. Further, even if found guilty, an attorney may be your best way to receive the minimum penalties. Although the DWI Statute calls for minimum mandatory penalties, it also gives the Judge discretion over your fine amount, number of hours you must spend in the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center and length of your drivers license suspension. The judge even has the option to put you in jail (see below, 39:4-50(a)(1)). Second and third time offenders stand even more to lose (see below, 39:4-50(a)(2) and (3)). Having an experienced attorney on your side is the best way to uncover viable defenses and arguments, successfully present your defense to the court, or in the alternative, to secure the minimum license suspension, fine and penalty.
