- Marchese Law Firm: DUI/DWI and Traffic Violations: DUI/DWI is generally considered to be driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs. Most municipal jurisdictions in New Jersey will prosecute a DUI/DWI to the fullest extent of the law. Those who have been stopped by police for DUI/DWI should retain an experienced defense attorney to protect their due process rights. You may feel that the stigma surrounding a “drunk driving” charge is penalty enough, however, you need strong representation, and an understanding practitioner to guide you through the “system. In New Jersey, the threshold for DUI/DWI arrest is blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent. This is only approximately two to three drinks in an hour for most individuals. Additionally, you may be arrested for DUI/DWI if you have consumed a legal or illegal drug, with or without a prescription, which has impaired your driving. Penalties for DUI/DWI can include jail terms, fines, license suspension or restriction, or probation, and even an ignition interlock device. Charges will differ with the circumstances, but know this: all DUI/DWI convictions carry with them an unavoidable and inevitable loss of driving privileges -- without exception. If you have been arrested, don’t wait to get the help you need.
- Michael Justice: Many moving violations involve DMV points. Points usually translate into increased insurance premiums.
