Understanding New Jersey DWI and DUI Laws

If an officer believes that a person who has been pulled over is beyond the legal limit, they may test the driver with a standardized field sobriety test (SFST and a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or greater. A measurement that is 0.08% or higher constitutes a DWI charge.

Studied in Alcotest® and Breathalyzer

Mr. Villani is proficient in administering the identical breath test administered by New Jersey law enforcement. His familiarity with the Breathalyzer and Draeger Alcotest® 7110 gives him a big leg up on other lawyers. When implementing a breath test, law enforcement needs to follow a strict parameter. Otherwise, the results may not be accurate, resulting in an illicit DWI charge.

Field Sobriety Test Practices

The standardized field sobriety test (SFST) is not a scientific process and is not typically enough reason to accuse someone of driving intoxicated. Although, a field sobriety test can be used to demonstrate probable cause. Mistakes do occur despite training to conduct standardized field sobriety testing. You will have a quality case against DUI charges if law enforcement did not perform a field sobriety test the right way prior to arresting and charging you.

Drug Recognition Evaluation

If a police officerhas reason to think that a driver is driving under the influence of a substance other than alcohol, he or she will implement the drug recognition evaluation (DRE) to prove the suspicion. Errors do happen when an officer uses the DRE to make sure a driver is under the influence. When these errors occur, you need an attorney familiar with DRE working for you. Villani & DeLuca DWI attorneys are trained in finding bad results in order to protect the rights of clients.

How to Challenge Charges With an attorney

Penalties for a DUI conviction are severe in NJ. License revocations can go for up to 10 years and fines can reach $1,000 dollars. Larger DUI fines and penalties take place if you have been previously convicted for driving under the influence.

Breath Test Refusal

It is illegal to refuse a breath test in NJ. If you do not accept the Alcotest®, you will be taken into custody and charged with refusal. Charges that can come from a refusal are in certain ways more severe than charges that result from a DUI conviction.
Probable cause should always be established by a police officer prior to a breath test can be administered. Your Villani & DeLuca DUI attorney will be able to demonstrate whether probable cause was in fact established and whether a medical issue prohibited you from accepting a breath test.

DWI Checkpoints
