Helping You Avoid Devastating Consequences
In New Jersey, you can face serious penalties if police catch you driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08% or above, or under the influence of drugs. If you were caught driving under the influence of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, opioids or any other drug that decreases alertness, you may face a DUI charge.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, and if you have prior DWI or DUI convictions, you could face penalties such as:
- Expensive fines
- Jail time
- License revocation or suspension
- Insurance surcharges
- Attending an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center
- The use of an ignition interlock device
In New Jersey, everyone convicted of a DWI must give up their driver’s license until an ignition interlock device is installed, which can take weeks to months. Even for a first offense, the court can penalize you with jail time, loss of your driver’s license and hefty fines. The penalties for multiple offenses are even more severe.
