New Jersey DWI Attorneys Will Challenge Your DWI Charge

NJ takes driving under the influence seriously. The the punishments for a conviction for DUI and DWI can be severe. You should have legal advice if you or a loved one was recently hit with a DWI or DUI. A strong legal strategy designed by a NJ DWI lawyer will provide you with the best chance.
DWI requires a more specialized attorney. Villani & DeLuca DWI attorneys will work hard to defend you against harsh fines and neglect of your rights.

Knowing NJ DUI and DWI Laws

Any blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reading of 0.08% in New Jersey will result in a charge of DWI for someone driving in the state. If NJ law enforcement pulled a vehicle over and has reason to believe that person has been consuming alcohol, he or she must take part in in a field sobriety test if it is requested by an officer. Breath tests are mandatory by law if there is reasonable cause to perform one.

NJ Attorneys Trained in DUI Law

As a partner and founding member of Villani & DeLuca, P.C., Carmine Villani, Esq. has argued DUI/DWI allegations in New Jersey for years. Mr. Villani was previously a prosecutor and is currently a member of the National College for DWI Defense. Mr. Villani has undergone strategic training in all areas of DUI and DWI defense, allowing him to utilize all of the most recent legal strategies to build your defense.

Trained in Alcotest® and Breathalyzer

Mr. Villani is proficient in administering the same breath test used by NJ law enforcement. This insight into breath tests and how to correctly administer them is a big asset to his clients. When administering a breath test, police officers need to follow a strict guideline. Otherwise, the measurements may not be true, resulting in an illicit DWI charge.

Standardized Field Sobriety Testing

Field sobriety tests are only permitted as evidence if the right steps were followed precisely. Your DUI lawyer at Villani & DeLuca will help you by identifying improper steps in the way your DWI arrest was handled.

Drug-Related DUI Arrests

Were you accused of driving under the influence of drugs without grounds for a charge? Villani & DeLuca DUI lawyers are knowledgeable of the drug recognition evaluation that is used by police officers checking for DUIs, and they will look closely at whether the process was not executed in the way that is should have been.

Fighting Charges With a NJ DUI Attorney

New Jersey DUI penalties range in severity depending on several reasons, like BAC level, whether you are a multiple offender and the amount of time since a previous DUI conviction. Conviction of a DWI can produce a fine of up to $1,000, a suspended license of up to 10 years and the addition of a required interlock ignition device during and after license suspension, time in prison and other consequences.
Unfortunately, drivers are wrongly charged with DUI. Get in touch with a lawyer who serves Manasquan, New Jersey today if you may have been falsely accused of drunken driving. Plan your defense with a law firm that understands how to properly defend you against DWI charges.

Breath Test Refusal

The implied consent law that is enforced by police in New Jersey states that you don't have the right to refuse a breath test if there is enough reason to believe that you have been driving drunk. If you do refuse to participate in the Alcotest®, you will be taken into custody and charged with refusal. Charges associated with refusal are in some ways more severe than charges that result from a DWI conviction.
According to the law, law enforcement is not allowed to administer a breath test without probable cause being established. Without any solid probable cause, your charges may not stand.

Be aware of Your Rights at DWI Checkpoints

You may be questioned in the event of being pulled over by law enforcement at a DUI checkpoint. But, you do not have to answer questions other than basic information such as your name and address. The trunk of a vehicle cannot be searched without permission or a warrant.
If an officer abuses you or acts outside of the law at a DUI checkpoint, you can dispute any charges you may have received. The law requires officers to act in a particular fashion while questioning drivers.
