- Sagan & Greenfield:
Driving under the influence or DUI charge is a serious offense in every
state. A conviction on a
charge of driving under the influence
carries with it the rather unique manner of sentencing called a
mandatory minimum sentence. This means
that a conviction on this charge mandates the judge to
sentence the offender to at least
certain minimum sentences. The judge has no discretion to make an
exception and not
to impose at least the minimum mandatory sentences.

- Helmer, Paul, Conley and Kasselman:
1. I was pulled over by the police on suspicion of DUI / DWI. Do I have to submit to a breathalyzer?
In New Jersey all motorists, residents or non-residents, must consent to a breathalyzer test when driving on public roads. Failure to take a breathalyzer is an offense in itself carrying the same, if not more severe, penalties as a DUI / DWI.
2. What happens if I get caught driving with a suspended license for having a DUI /DWI?
There is a huge fine, license suspension up to two additional years, and mandatory jail time.
3. Do I need a lawyer for my DUI/ DWI if I am guilty?
ABSOLUTELY; an attorney can argue for the minimum penalties, dismiss other offenses and minimize the likelihood of a DUI / DWI-related civil lawsuit.
4. What is the legal limit of intoxication in NJ?
A blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 is the threshold for driving while intoxicated in New Jersey, along with a majority of other states. However, in New Jersey a person can be convicted solely on the failure of physical tests, regardless of the alcohol reading.
5. I am not from NJ and do not have a NJ license. Why should I care about having a DUI /DWI conviction?
New Jersey is a state that reports through the interstate compact system. Therefore, a conviction in New Jersey can lead to penalties in the state where you are licensed. It is important to get the best outcome possible in New Jersey so there are no or little consequences in your home state.

- Simons, Robert:
It can be confusing when trying to choose an attorney to meet your legal needs. That is why choosing an attorney certified by the Supreme Court serves and helps the consumer find a reputable lawyer who has a recognized level of competence in particular fields of law.
- Brian Lucianna:
There may be lesser charges to which a guilty plea may be entered or
where there is insufficient proof to convict you. A guilty plea to some
charges without the assistance of legal counsel could result in the
imposition of high insurance surcharges, significant monetary fines, a
driver's license suspension or even imprisonment.
Only an experienced and qualified legal professional with knowledge of the
current laws can help you understand your options and make an informed
choice as to how to proceed in Court.
