What are the DUI laws in New Jersey?
If a police officer feels that someone who has been stopped on the road is drunk, they may test the individual with a standardized field sobriety test (SFST and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or above. A person with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08% or higher is considered legally intoxicated in the New Jersey and if pulled over while driving, will be charged with a DWI charge.

Practiced in Alcotest® and Breathalyzer
Carmine Villani has received the same training for administering a breath test as NJ law enforcement. This acumen for breath tests and how to correctly administer them is an important asset to his clients. A breath test needs to be administered in an extremely specific way. A breath test that has not been executed the right way by the officer can lead to dropped charges.
Understanding the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST)
If a Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) is not given correctly, any results that an officer sees as evidence are not allowed in court and cannot create probable cause for a breath test. Your DUI lawyer at Villani & DeLuca will help you by identifying discrepancies in the way your DUI arrest was handled.
Drug Recognition Evaluation
If a police officerthinks that a driver is operating a vehicle under the influence of a substance other than alcohol, he or she will use the drug recognition evaluation (DRE) to prove the suspicion. Errors do happen when an officer uses the DRE to decide if a driver is doing drugs and driving. When these mistakes take place, you need an attorney familiar with DRE defending you. Villani & DeLuca will look for errors made during an arrest to protect your rights.
Challenging Charges With a NJ DUI Attorney
The penalties linked to DWI are not small. License revocations can last for up to 10 years and fines can hit $1,000 dollars. Increased DWI penalties and fines take place if you have been previously convicted for driving while intoxicated.
Have you been accused of DWI charges in Deal, NJ without evidence for a DWI being properly established? A blood alcohol concentration that is over 0.08% can happen through a wrong reading by the Alcotest®. If you think you were falsely charged, hire Villani & DeLuca to begin fighting for you today.
Breath Test Refusal
Have you
declined to accept a breath test in New Jersey? Refusal charges are often more severe than driving while intoxicated. If probable cause has been established, you are not allowed by law to say no to a breath test administered by a police officer.
According to the law, law enforcement is not allowed to force a breath test without reasonable evidence that the driver is in fact intoxicated. If a police officer was not willing to establish probable cause, you will have a good case to make against your DWI charges.
How DWI Checkpoints Work in NJ
If you are pulled at a DUI checkpoint in New Jersey, you will be expected to answer inquiries regarding your name and residence and to provide your license and registration. But you do not need to reply to other questions at a police DWI road block. You also have the right to politely turn down a request to search your car.
If your DUI charges go to trial, the behavior of the officer who arrested you for drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs will come into question. If you were treated unfairly, your charges might be dropped or reduced.
