NEW
JERSEY DWI CENTER
New Jersey DWI Lawyer
"Driving under the influence"
(DUI) and "driving while intoxicated" (DWI) are two names for the
crime of drunk driving. DUI in New Jersey often refers to a minor
with any detectable amount of alcohol. In 2001, more than 1.4
million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of
alcohol or narcotics.
Responding to the public outcry,
police and highway patrol officers are cracking down on drunk
drivers with increasing frequency. Penalties upon conviction for
drunk driving and drunk driving accidents are becoming increasingly
severe. Although first-time offenders may be given relatively
lighter punishments such as a suspended sentence conditioned on
treatment for substance abuse or attendance at drunk-driving school,
the penalty for second or subsequent offenses often includes
mandatory minimum jail or prison sentences that cannot be suspended
or waived, as well as stiff fines.
New Jersey DWI cases are a very technical
area of the criminal justice system. In New Jersey it is illegal to
operate a motor vehicle with .08 grams of alcohol per 1.5 liters of
breath or more. It is the burden of the prosecution to show that the
blood alcohol level of the person charged was at or above the legal
limit when driving. BASED ON THE MOST RECENT STATE SUPREME COURT
DECISION IN STATE V. CHUN Breath test evidence can be challenged and
defeated in many ways. At HARK & HARK you can be assured we will use
our experience and knowledge of New Jersey DWI laws to ensure that
your rights are aggressively protected, to challenge all evidence
against you, and to require that the prosecution meet its standard
of proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Just because you are
charged with a DWI offense does not mean that you are guilty,
even if your breath test result was over .08. These results may not
be accurate or reliable, or may not have been legally obtained.
Our drunk driving criminal
lawyers will examine all aspects of the traffic stop and blood
alcohol evidence to prepare your defense.
A skilled, experienced New
Jersey DWI attorney can make the difference between losing your
license and going to jail, or the difference between paying a high
fine or a low fine. In other words, the ultimate outcome of your
case may depend on the quality of your legal representation. We will
use all of our experience, skill and resources to zealously advocate
on your behalf to protect your legal rights and work toward the
least restrictive outcome possible.
