Drunk Driving (DUI)

New Jersey Drunk Driving Lawyers

New Jersey Driving Under The Influence Lawyers

We are New Jersey trial lawyers with over 35 years of experience in New Jersey Municipal Court driving under the influence of alcohol and drug cases, as well as refusal cases involving the Alcotest machine. 

Many individuals charged with drunk or impaired driving in New Jersey underestimate the seriousness of a driving under the influence conviction, and will represent themselves at trial or will plead guilty without the assistance of counsel. They do so without realizing that they will experience some period of license suspension even for a first offense. There are no provisional licenses issued for work or other purposes during these suspension periods. 

In addition to substantial fines and penalties, including surcharges, and suspension of driving privileges, conviction of a New Jersey driving under the influence case will require installation of an ignition interlock device, increase your insurance surcharges, and may lead your insurer to drop your coverage. Additionally, a New Jersey Municipal Court conviction for driving under the influence carries numerous collateral consequences, which increase in severity with each subsequent offense. You may face mandatory drug or alcohol counseling, community service, and mandatory jail (for a third offense). Conviction of any traffic offense may have a negative impact on your employment, both with respect to your ability to travel to and from work, and, if you have a commercial driver’s license, it will affect your ability to work in your chosen field. If you are not a U.S. citizen, conviction of driving under the influence will affect your immigration status, even if you are a permanent resident.
