In New Jersey, you are considered legally intoxicated if your blood alcohol level is .08 percent or higher.

We will work to closely examine the validity of  the evidence presented against you in an effort to get the charges possibly downgraded or even dismissed, even if this is not your first DUI/DWI.

Frequently Asked Questions About DUI/DWI in New Jersey

FAQ: Should I refuse to take the breath test if I am pulled over on DUI/DWI suspicion?

No. Every New Jersey driver is legally required to submit to a breath test if asked by the police. This is known as “implied consent”, which you give when you decide to drive on the New Jersey roads. Failing to submit to the breath test is a separate crime. You can also be charged with the underlying DUI/DWI in addition to charges for refusal to submit.

FAQ: What about a blood test? Do I have to take a blood test?

Blood tests are different from breath tests. The police must obtain a warrant before they require you to submit to a blood test for drugs or alcohol.

FAQ: Is a DUI/DWI a crime in New Jersey?

Technically, no. DUI/DWI charges are traffic offenses. However, because of the severity and potential impact of DUI/DWI, many of the penalties are very similar to criminal offenses. You can face time in jail. Conviction almost always carries steep financial consequences and you can lose your driver’s license.
