New Jersey DUI/DWI Lawyers
Newark Drunk Driving Defense Attorneys
It can happen to anyone. You have one too many drinks at dinner. On the way home, you don't notice that you are weaving between lanes. You get pulled over by the police and take a breathalyzer test. If the roadside test results show your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit of .08, you are charged with DUI - driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
It is important to seek representation promptly if you have been charged with DUI. Please contact a New Jersey DUI/DWI lawyer at Feintuch, Porwich, & Feintuch today for a free consultation.
Conviction for drunk driving or impaired driving may result in driver's license suspension, driver's license revocation, insurance surcharges, possible incarceration, and heavy fines.
We advise clients to ask for a blood alcohol test or urine test rather than a breath test to determine blood alcohol content (BAC). However, in most cases, clients have already taken the breathalyzer test.
New Jersey law includes mandatory minimum sentences. For example, if your BAC is over .10, you get a mandatory license suspension of seven months to two years. Refusal to take a BAC test results in a mandatory seven-month license suspension.
Whether this is your first offense, second offense, or third offense, we can help minimize the potential negative consequences of a DUI charge. We may be able to reduce the charge from a gross misdemeanor to a misdemeanor, for example. If your DUI traffic offense results in the loss of license, we can seek a work permit that will allow you the ability to drive to and from your job. We may encourage you to pursue alcohol or substance treatment that may reduce your criminal sentence.
If your DUI arrest leads to charges of drug possession, we will question whether an illegal search and seizure took place.
Don't go before the power of the government without an experienced DUI lawyer at your side. We are here to protect your rights. Please contact us today.
